Favorite Horse Things #5


Schreiner's Herbal "A Natural Alternative to Conventional Medicine"
I know tons of horse people who swear by this stuff so when Precious got a nasty cut in a place that was impossible to bandage (on her hip), I just put this stuff on every day. Within a week it looked great. No infection and just healed right up. I was converted.

Moutain Horse Ice Paddock Boots
Listen up folks, this is serious business. I was born and raised in Alaska and my feet were ALWAYS cold. ALWAYS. Ask my mother. She bought a pair of these and raved about them. I thought, oh yeah, not with my icicle toes. Then Gina had some, she loved them. I'm thinking, OK, I might be interested. SO, Uriah's mom got me a gift certificate for boots to a local tack store. I went in looking for regular paddock boots, but they had one pair of these Mountain Horse things. They were a size 10 (I wear 8 1/2), but they were a fit. You'll never guess what happened next. . .THEY WERE 50% OFF! So, because I can't resist a bargin, I bought them (and some breeches with my extra dough) and headed home with them. That week we had 15 degree weather and my feet stayed warm. Yep, it is true. I was wearing 2 pairs of socks, but previously that wouldn't have cut it. Buy these. They rock. I visited the Mountain Horse site and I think the Rimfrost may be the new name, but my box definately says Ice Paddock.

I have the Mountain horse paddock boots and adore them. Oklahoma is no where near Alaska for the chill factor, but this winter I got to ride with warm toes for the first time ever. My feet are always cold, too. Good product!!

PS: Rimfrost and Ice paddock are two different ones- Ice paddocks are better !
