Saddle fittings and flocking services: Saddles That Fit For my experiences with their services, click here.
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.
American Trail Gear - another EXCELLENT place to get synthetic tack. They also have the top loading hay bags I love, and colorful cages for stirrups.
Dressage and eventing trainer: Janelle Dunn of Maxfield Equestrian Center
Leg protection boots: For endurance: Griffins Tack brand boots. Henry also sells a really good bale bag and saddle packs that solve the unique needs of the endurance rider. I have a flat pack that velcros to my breast collar that I keep elytes, map, and ride card it that I really like.
Saddle pads: Toklet Woolbacks and Haf pads. I have also had good luck with equipedic pads (which I buy used if possible because they are pricey). To purchase Haf pads, I recommend Healthy as a Horse (.NET).
