Welcome back to *The Equestrian Adult Amateur*! In this episode, Kelly and Alexis dive into the sometimes pricey world of equestrian gear and horse care. They start by chatting about the costs of owning horses, especially when it comes to supplements and health care, which can really add up. They also discuss riding pants and how it can be hard to justify spending a bunch of money on something that’s just going to get dirty.

But don't worry—they highlight the importance of sun shirts, especially as riders get older. Protecting our skin from the sun becomes more important, and those shirts are definitely worth the investment! The conversation shifts to the growing trend of tall boots. Kelly and Alexis talk about how tall boots have become a must-have for riders, moving away from just being a show requirement. Plus, the new styles made from softer leather make them way more comfortable to wear for riding.

Another topic they touch on is saddle fitting and the importance of finding the right saddle. They share their thoughts on popular brands like Tad Coffin and Antares and explain why taking the time to choose the right saddle can make a huge difference for both horse and rider. Throughout the episode, the hosts share their favorite products for horse care—think grooming supplies, blankets, and supplements! They also invite listeners to chime in with their favorite show pants, creating a fun community vibe.

Join Kelly and Alexis for this informative and light-hearted discussion filled with tips and recommendations that every equestrian can appreciate!
