Under Armour® Review for Horse Enthusiasts

by

Under Armour
Anyone who spends time with horses faces the challenge of staying warm in the winter months and cool in the summer.  Being from Texas, all I have to do is wait 30 minutes and the weather will change, sometimes from one extreme to the next.

Do you struggle with the decision of what to wear when you want to spend time with your horse, especially in cold weather?  I don’t know about you, but I’ve tried many different brands of clothing and I’ve finally settled on one brand that consistently lives up to what it promises.

To Blanket Your Horse or Not to Blanket … That Is the Question

Horse Blanketing

A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right.”  ~ Thomas Paine (Introduction to Common Sense 1776)

Have you ever thought about why people blanket their horses in the winter?  If you question and explore this practice, you may be surprised by what you’ll learn.

Blanketing horses in the winter is a common horse keeping practice when it starts to get a little chilly outside.

Netflix for Horse Lovers

DVDs

Wouldn’t it be great to first be able to rent a horse related DVD before you decided to purchase it?  Or maybe you’re not the type to collect equine related DVDs for your home library.

Everyone’s different in their approach to learning, so having different options for obtaining education is an optimal solution.

I’d like to share with you my review of a horse DVD rental website I came across in 2009.  It’s dedicated solely to the equine enthusiast.

It’s called GiddyUpFlix:  http://www.giddyupflix.com/    You’ve just got to love the name.

I’m the type of person who thrives on obtaining more knowledge, especially when it comes to horses.
