Eventing Advent Calendar: Day 13, 14, and 15

By Emily Daily

Well, somehow I missed out on a few more days of the advent calendar on the final days of the Convention…oops! Sorry about that – here are a few little tidbits to brighten your day…

Sally Cousins has posted her latest blog post for Eventing Nation – this one is all about cross-country schooling. After reading this whole series, there’s a lot to admire about Sally, other than just her superb record…she seems to give succinct, well-educated advice to her students (and readers), and is a thoughtful horsewoman.

Nutrena has a really good blog about equine nutrition – the latest entry about feeding salt to horses is especially pertinent in this winter weather.

SmartPak recently blogged about “Blanketing 101” – from measuring to blanket weights, they’ve got it covered. Very informative!

Speaking of Smartpak, they partnered with Charles Owen to show us how to properly fit a helmet.

Is your horse girthy? SUCCEED weighs your options and offers handy advice.

Forgot to buy a special someone a present this year? Don’t fret – here’s a couple of last-minute ideas:

Still digging around for the perfect gift? Three Days Three Ways has posted another helpful gift guide.

Buy something snazzy for yourself, and get a free gift certificate at Bit of Britain.

Put some of these homemade horse treats in your horse’s stocking…he’s been a good boy this year (maybe?).
