LETS TALK HORSES

As a rule, we don't ship on an International basis. On occasion, however, we have been asked to ship specific merchandise to Europe and have done so very successfully.
Such is the case with our Ozark Cowgirl Fever Horse Blankets. We have recently sent blankets to France, Switzerland and also to Italy.
Congratulations customers. You were perhaps among the best customers we have worked with. Thanks for letting us know just how much you love the blankets. -
Have you been following the Ozark Cowgirl Fever Horse Blanket Turnout rage? It has been quite the amazing story and watching it develop over the last two years has been nothing short of astonishing.It caught on like no other horse blanket before this one, at least that I am aware of to date.

How's your 2012 going so far?
We're now just over 10 days into our newest year. I'm writing from Connecticut. Where do you all live? We hear from all across the country and, of late, from our friends in France, Germany and also Switzerland. It's briskly cold in Europe I understand. -

If you're doing some serious shopping for Christmas gifts, the calendar is ticking .. tick .. tick .. tick ...
I have put out some pretty great sales. The one of a kind products that are listed under our Specials are probably the best prices going. -
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Here in northern Connecticut we have delightful sunshine and comfortable temperatures. Our weather was a far cry from the unexpected freak storm we had last month - the storm I don't want to remember.We had the typical Thanksgiving dinner, only made better by our own chef and cooking guru, Chef Amy.

I recently published an article that may be of particular interest to folks considering the purchase of a horse for a favorite grandchild or as a first horse - possibly as a special Christmas present. I haven't posted it in The Old Gray Mare Articles yet. For that matter, I'm really behind in that department, being crazy busy. However, it's timely and has some good tips as to why the older horse might be an excellent choice. The link for this article is

International Shipments
I have had an increased need to ship internationally. As the website is presently set up, it ships only to the USA. It will accept international shipments, however. It has always stated that we ship only to the USA so with the increased demand for international shipping, I have to readdress this. -
Just had some of the Ozark Tie Dye Turnout Blankets delivered for my outstanding orders.
Gotta tell you they are different, unique and pretty outstanding. The colors are soft and the tie dye process is new and elegant. I like it because is subdued and expensive looking. The colors blend so beautifully and the tie dye pattern itself is different from any tie dye I've seen. I'm thinking that it's infinitely prettier than a just-plain blanket. -
It's November 10. Good grief.Much is behind us here at DressYourHorse.com, we've survived some weird weather with Irene and Albert storms, we're overflowing with exceptional vendors and products, and we've made a great like page on FaceBook to which you are responding.

Yep, it feels incredibly fine to be back among the folks with power since the freak storm. I'm able to feed and care for the horses, check on them and generally fuss over them without carting around my cyclop (a worker-type light you wear in the center of your forehead that gives off a strong beam). I've come to really appreciate what we have in this age of modern conveniences. Having all that we lost with this last storm - power, cable, phone and internet - makes me appreciate anew the various blessings we take for granted.

We are under the weather!
Hard to believe what has happened in our state of Connecticut since last Saturday - today is only Wednesday - and I can tell you we've had a time of it. Weather - we've got weather! We've also got power failure.
Problem is, we had so much weather starting around five o'clock on Saturday the 29th of November, that everything in Connecticut came to a rapid standstill. It was snowing. Started in a rainy, snowy mess and quickly transformed into a mess of huge snowflakes. -
Baker Bags and CarriersFor about a month or two, we have been awaiting the Baker Bags to hit our store and allow us to ship.

Separation anxiety still affects Patrick - and he gives in to it with a vengeance. He simply adores the little miniature horses and wants to be with them. He is a most obedient horse, considerate and mindful about just about everything with the exception of his willfulness to become naughty when it concerns the little guys.His behavior is extreme.
-
Colder weather is starting to creep in. Our horses in Connecticut are starting to bloom in their heavier coats. Our little miniature horses are beginning to appear like teddy bears with goatees. Nature does take care of them well.So the warmer clothing is coming out.

My wife is called Five Horses
A wise old Native American
Was sitting leisurely by the fire,
Enjoying the company of Young Man
And smoking a soothing peace pipe.Both men were inclined to be the quiet type.

It's coming up again soon - November - the Equine Affaire and the Pfizer Horse Fantasia. This is a terrific event for horse people of all pursuasions - to be enjoyed and also to get gifts and mingle. The Horse Fantasia is a lovely event, with horses performing to specially selected music. We all remember music - how much better then to see beautiful horses performing to a beloved melody. Check it out with your schedule and take a drive.

Any of our horse lovers paying attention to what's happening in Wyoming? Seems that a legislator has been putting out a lot of effort to get a slaughter bill approved. It's sort of masked as a "rescue" - Upon closer review and questioning, it is apparent that the horses would be brought in the Cheyenne Stock Yards where they would be held until further disposition which can vary, by their rules, as to whether they would find adoptive homes, get retrained or be sent out to slaughter.

Not long ago, I visited a dear friend's new barn. We used to frequently talk about ideal barns and what we'd build if we had no limits. This isn't talking any longer. My friend built the barn of her dreams, and my dreams. I'm green with envy and I told her my horses are moving in.
Her new barn is incredible - from the tack stall, grooming room, feed rom and wash rack.

Hey Guys!
I took out Patrick's tail yesterday. My goodness is it looonggg.
This Saddlebred boy has a tail to envy. It is really getting too long for me. It's quite a big of work.
His tail is in two bags - his tail itself is split into three main strands, each of which is braided.

We've been through Hurricane Irene and all went rather well during the storm with one major exception - we lost power even before the storm hit Connecticut. The hurricane hit our State and gusted, it huffed and puffed, and it dropped heaps of rain. Even though our area has a lot of lakes and ponds, it is not prone to flooding so we were spared any water damage. The wind, on the other hand, played havoc with the trees in our area. I realize parts of Connecticut had water damage and also wind damage.

Have You Ever Visited the Kentucky Horse Park?
This is a Horse Park set apart from all the rest - it is big, is a working horse farm, is a theme park and regularly runs equestrian events. If you love horses, this is the greatest place to stop. -
I wish I could get info about Patrick - Can you help me?
Patrick has been with us for about six years, almost seven now. I still don't know any more about his background. He's such a special horse, it would be great to learn more about him, like did he show, did he win, who were his dam and sire. He's a pretty horse, able to slow gait and rack with lots of natural talent.
