The Hype Behind Iconoclast Boots

The Hype Behind Iconoclast Boots

Things have changed a lot since I was a 14-year-old horse girl. Now I’m a horse girl making adult horse girl money and of course — spending it.

If you haven’t noticed the horse market, the trailer market, the hay market is nuts, so I get wanting to save a few bucks here or there. So here’s what I propose, I try, so you can buy. Deal?

So, on this episode of what’s in my — a novice, Non-Pro, adult ammy — whatever your discipline wants to call me’s — tack room: support boots.

So if you’re all about supporting your horse’s legs and like using medicine boots — this blog post is for you.

Support boots are nothing new to the horse world their main purpose is to support (clever, huh?). While supportive/orthopedic/sports medicine boots are not a foolproof way to ensure your horse’s soundness, they do significantly decrease your horse's chances of developing suspensory-related injuries while performing.

Meet the newest boot pair in my tack room: Iconoclast boots.

To supplement or not to supplement, that is the question.

There’s a supplement for just about everything — oils, powders and pellets for every benefit or ailment under the sun. if you can think of it, it’s probably out there.

All any rider wants is for our equine partners to look and feel their best — why is it so hard to not be overwhelmed by all the choices and the stigma? While not everyone is a fan of supplements, I am pro-supplement. Of course, with my veterinarian’s guidance.

Horse Guard — The Holy Grail

Horse Guard — The Holy Grail

Hi, I’m Caroline and I have spent most of my horse “career” being a skeptic of equine supplements — I didn’t start using them until college when my gelding, Jack, dropped a ton of weight. Since then, I’ve gone back and forth supplementing different things for different needs, comparing different brands and completely going off recommendations from vets and industry professionals. But alas, after years of searching for the perfect supplement brand — I’ve found my holy grail: Horse Guard.
