Get a Grip

Currently I am shopping around for a new pair of gloves. The type that I normally buy always break within the first couple of weeks. Granted they were only around $5 so I couldn't expect good quality from them. They are the SSG gloves that are always in some giant bin near the checkout at dover. I am aprehensive about buying new gloves because I'm not the best at keeping up with them... However, here are a few of the glove brands I'm looking at!

1. SSG Ditigal Riding Gloves
These gloves retail for about $35 at dover . One of the features I'm really intrested in is the ability to use touch screen phones while using these gloves. They also look really classy so I can see these as both schooling and showing gloves. 

2. Arait Tek Grip Riding Glove 
These gloves retail for about $30 at dover. The one thing that drew me to these gloves is their streamline look. I just really love the simplicity of these gloves. Also the fact that it is made out of suede interest me. I feel like that would make the gloves really comfortable. 

3.Noble Outfitters Ready to Ride Glove 
These gloves retail for about $25 at dover . Out of all of them they are the least expensive. I love the look of these because they remind me of the Rockel gloves for half the price. You are also able to use your phone with these gloves. Another feature that I love is the ventilation throughout the glove.

4. Tredstep Eventer Gloves 


These gloves retail for about $40 at dover. This glove is claimed to be made of a mouisture wicking material, which is something that would be extremely helpful in hot weather, but also in cooler months by keeping you hands from getting clamy when they get wet. These gloves also feature a very grippy material to help have with a secure hold on the reins. However for the price, I'm not sure if it's really worth it. 

I hope this information from my glove search is as useful to you guys as it was for me! Comment below what gloves you think I should get ;)

Seniors and Ponies

As promised I'm starting to blog more often!!! Yesterday I had a lesson and rode a small paint horse named Cherokee. He is SUPER cute by the way. We did this really interesting lesson working on landing leads, and I was personally working on not looking for my lead and just feeling it. My trainer set up two bending lines, each with different direction bends, to work on it. If you got the correct turn by landing straight after the jump, the lines where only six strides. Just looking at someone do it right makes it seem extremely easy, but let me tell ya it's not!!! I missed the second jump so many times it's not even funny!!!! I do feel like I learned a lot though. Overall it was a very productive lesson. Oh yeah! The title is because I took my grandmother with me to watch me ride!!!!
Here is a super cute photo of her with Cherokee after my lesson.

Fresh Start

For those of you who don't know, I started this blog as a supplement to my youtube channel, macadoenzie. I ended up being a slacker. I only posted four times, and they were all about Foxie. Now that I have my schedule and everything figured out, I should be able to start blogging more often, and about more intresting things ;) Sadly there won't be anymore post about my work with Foxie, because I'm not leasing her anymore. However, I will be able to post reviews, my opinions on trends, and my overall riding experience! I hope you enjoy this blog. Also, please leave me feedback in the comment section below!
