What the Pros want for Christmas…

Sarah:

A Wish List is all well and good – but it is a WISH list and I was always taught to be careful of what you wish for! Most of the things on my list are lottery winning purchases* but a girl can dream!

Hermes soft brush with orange handle £90 – eye wateringly expensive for a brush I know, but it is incredibly soft and I wouldn’t be buying it plus it’s not as bonkers as the £180 hoof pick!  (*Come on Lottery – it could be me!)

Thelwell Loo Seat £44.95 (grayscountrygifts.com). This would be amazing for the tack room loo!

I-Quip XC Luxury Eventer gloves – love the orange ‘you’ve been tango-ed’ look – Very TGP!

Made to order

I’ve had my eye on this Mark Todd stitched head collar all year so think Mischief deserves a treat for looking smart out on our adventures. £59.99 from Derby House

3 Bar Eco Centaur Rug Drier £649 – who wouldn’t want one!  A single bar is also available for £299. [*All my wishes would come true to find this under the tree!]

Anything from Massimo Dutti’s 14/15 FW Equestrian Collection –  jaw droppingly gorgeous but a bit OTT for the school run!

A family outing to see Dynamo’s Live Tour in 2015 

A pile of wonderful, soft hydrocotton White Co towels to wrap up in after a long soak – our towels have seen better days and these would be the ultimate treat. From £16

I collect Emma Bridgewater pottery and this new design – Christmas Rose – is enchanting with its depiction of a deep red Hellebore. There’s just about enough room on the dresser for a pretty mini-mug candle! £27.50 for a boxed set of 2.

Harriet:

Wishes can come true so I figure aim high!  My wish list is made up of goodies that I really do think are totally brilliant, designed and made by people who really do care and want the best for themselves and those all around.

 The Balance ‘Magic’ lunge cavesson

The design is based on what is known as a Wels Cavesson, which allows it to be used in conjunction with a bridle and bit in such a way as avoids interference with the bit. The strap that goes under the horse’s lower jaw can be dropped down below the bit, much like a dropped nose band, or used as a straight, ‘cavesson’ nose band

I have coveted this for so long as like all things with Balance the horse comes first.

£246 from Balance International
