Top 5 Motivational Equestrian Videos

Recently I've been watching a lot of YouTub lately and I've been stumbling across all these great videos that equestrian accounts make for when they reach a certain amount of subscribers - a lot like a picslip for 300, for example.
Now, I have a love/hate relationship with these videos... they make me super motivated to be a better rider and horsewoman and to achieve my dreams in the horse world but they make me super emotional and many times I'll find myself wiping away a tear or reaching for a Kleenex to wipe my nose... also, often times I am brought down to a harsh reality from my big dreams by my parents, who are not horse people (or animal people in general) and then I end up super annoyed and angry.

However I do have some favourites... if you've watched any videos like these and have a particular favourite, let me know in the comments!

In no particular order:

Horse & Rider: Understood By None (my absolute favourite!)
Equestrianism: We Who Are One
Equestrianism: As A Team
Horse & Rider: Undying Love
"Just A Horse" [ E Q U E S T R I A N ]

Splurge or Save: FITS & Kerrits

Many equestrians have proclaimed their love for FITS full seat breeches, and what's not to love? FITS boasts their segmented leather panel technology: instead of one single panel for full seat breeches, which is traditional, FITS has broken it up into segments, allowing more range of motion and taking care of that unflattering extra fabric if your butt isn't as big as the breeches are made for.
They come in a bunch of colours and styles, and boast riders like Hawley Bennett, Jessica Pheonix, and Jane Savoie.
I've worn these myself and absolutely loved them. The deerskin panels do really grip the saddle, and they're super comfortable and cushony!

Price: US$288, CAD$302

Now enter Kerrits. Some of their full seat breeches are now being advertised with Gripstretch full seat panels, also allowing for more movement and getting rid of the bum pouch issue. They come in a serious amount of colours, including traditional white, tan, and black, and grey houndstooth! 

The panel material helps grip the saddle ridiculously well, while still being breathable and making your butt look amazing! If you're looking for a full seat breech with the same style of panel technology, but you're not willing to shell out the money; maybe you're wanting to try the panel style and see if it works for you (I'm hooked!) then try these, however a disclaimer that they actually look a lot better on you in person than the model wearing them! (Plus, you get a small sachet of carrot seeds, for your horse!)

PRICE: US$99, CAD$103

Have you tried riding with the panel technology before? Did you like it or not? Leave your comments below!

Until next time,
