Mountain Horse Supreme High Rider & Stretch & Flex Boots


As mentioned in my earlier post I have a reem(!) pair of competition boots.



The Mountain Horse Supreme High Rider boots.

I've tested them out for nearly a couple of months and they have been great.  Placed in every dressage test so they've brought me good luck!

They really are so comfortable and fit like a glove.  I really can honestly say they are the most comfortable pair of boots I've ever owned.  

I'm trying very hard to keep these boots for competition and best but it's so tempting to wear them everyday on the yard because there are way too comfy!

I haven't really had to do much to keep them clean and they still look really smart (which is good for me as tack and boot cleaning not my thing!).

I qualified with members of my Riding Club for the Dressage Championships at Hartpury in March and   I'll look forward to wearing them there.

Whilst at the Summer Dressage Champs last year Corby won a pair of Flex & Stretch boots by Equilibrium.  I picked up another pair at Dragonfly in January so here's hoping we get placed again so we can both look smart in the mounted prize giving!


Winter Dressage Update


Started off the new year with a lovely new pair of boots thanks to the lovely people at Dragonfly!!

The boots in question are Mountain Horse Supreme High Rider Boots - the first time I wore them was for dressage on 16 January at Golden Cross.

I have to say they are so comfortable and they are by far the favourite pair of competition boots I've had  to date.

Golden Cross - 16 January

I took Ollie because we only had one partition in the lorry with the others being on order.  Ollie did very well coming BE112 and Novice 27 tests coming 2nd & 3rd.


Bodiam Dressage - 10 February

A busier day at Bodiam taking Corby, Beau & Ollie.  Not a bad day with 3 wins and 1 placing!

Beau was favoured by the judge coming 1st in both Prelim 7 and 13, Corby came 1st in the Novice 28 and Ollie a disappointing(!!!) 8th, he felt better than Corby but you never can tell until you get the test sheet back!

The weather was grim but luckily we could warm up indoors.  Bodiam have great facilities and there is an indoor viewing area too (for my Dad to sit and eat a bacon butty - sorry Dad!).

Next dressage is Golden Cross on 6 March and Bodiam (for more bacon butties!) on 23 March.  In preparation for the Riding Club Dressage Championships at Hartpury the last weekend in March.

By the Dressage Champs I'll be about 30 weeks pregnant so the wardrobe will be interesting - anyone with any maternity jodphurs please let me know!  Although I'm told by people I'm not really showing too much at the moment!
