Hoof protection: Renegade Hoof boots.  I write about my expereiences with these boots throughout the blog.  I have used both the strap ons and the glueons, and in general I like the strap ons better.  The customer service for this company is absolutely fabulous and deserves 5 stars. As of 10/15/10 I am a dealer for Renegade boots!  If you are interested in the boots, or replacement parts for the boots, please contact me at bootsandsaddles4mel@gmail.com

Tights: For an economical, fun tight that is made just for endurance riders, check out "Just For Horsin-Round (Evelyn's tights).  For longer rides like 100's, I choose my Tropical Rider summer weight tights with knee patches.  Super comfortable, but a bit pricey - these not an especially "tough" tight, but extremely comfortable. 

Biothane Tack: Hought Tack.  I've used other synthetic tack manufacture's pieces, and always come back to Hought.  

Dressage and eventing trainer: Janelle Dunn of Maxfield Equestrian Center

Leg protection boots: For endurance:  Griffin Tack brand boots

Saddle pads:  Toklet Woolbacks and Haf pads.  I have also had good luck with equipedic pads.  To purchase Haf pads, I recommend Healthy as a Horse (.NET).
