The “bling craze” remains
alive and well. While once
confined to western belts,
bling has long since moved
to add color and sparkle to
bridles and breast collars.
Inlaid beadwork dresses up
a leather halter as well as
braided rawhide on bridle
cheek pieces.
“Horse bonnets” serve both
as an aid and an adornment. Many jumper and
dressage riders use them
to keep bugs out of their
horses’ ears. They believe
the bonnets help with their
mounts’ concentration on
the task at hand. Numerous
blogs indicate many com-
petitors use them because
“they just look so darned
cute.”
I will stop the confusion here. Thanks to the The
Better Equine Store for letting me “shop” around
and take pictures of all the useful and fun items.
Remember no self-respecting horse should be
without salt on a rope (pink or white), some colorful
hoof wraps or even a psychedelic grooming brush!
