A Week of Things!

This week had a mailbox full of things. It was pretty exciting! Especially because I only bought two of the things. It started off with getting my awesome secret santa present from Olivia!

Squeee!

I got a nice package from The Hunt Club and was very confused as to what I ordered from them. Turns out, I didn't! I opened the package and right away, I read the letter that came with the gifts. Everything was so nicely wrapped and cute.

Look at all of my stuff and things!

I first opened the chapsticks (both smell heavenly) and I have a dire need of chapstick all the time, so that was very welcomed. Next I opened my beautiful purple crystal earrings and matching bridle charm. And lastly, the most delicious looking horse treats I have ever seen. Seriously. My friend almost ate one while I was in the bathroom because he thought they were donuts. I squealed with joy at everything. Thanks Olivia!

Yummy horse treats!

Next, I recieved a package from my grandma and in it were these cute little earrings. She gets a thumbs up.

They look like old time classic thoroughbreds

And then I opened my Fun Bonnet. I had been wanting one so badly for a while, a nice basic dressage one, and promptly forgot I had ordered one until the 12 week wait time was up. She is so popular now, so I highly recommend ordering now and not waiting until you want one in your hands right this second. Of course, it is lovely and I can't wait to try it on my horse.

It matches my new earrings and bridle charm!

She even included a charm. How awesome is that?

My first shipment of Performance Equine Nutrition MagRestore also came. Bacon has always done better on a magnesium supplement and I had ran out of the Magnesium 5000 that I order from SmartPak last week. I was wondering while my regularly nervous horse was EXTRA on edge. She likes having a routine and when it is disturbed, she gets a little on edge. Well, she lost her mind one day and weaved so hard that she stuck a leg in the water trough. Much to her surprise, she didn't like that and yanked the sucker out hard. She had a nice gash. The following day, she was still quite off and then I realized what it was. Magnesium.

Ooooo. Please be magic horse cocaine. 

Based on a recommendation from a friend who also owns slightly crazy OTTBs, I thought I would look into this particular supplement. The website has you take a 43 question quiz to determine which supplements you horse might benefit most from and you get free shipping for your first order (if you take the quiz). It suggested both MagRestore and Focus Equine for Bacon, but at $19.99 for a 7 day trail size of the Focus Equine, I had to pass. If I feel like she needs it later on, I may try it. They mostly recommend use of that product for shows ore stressful situations, so that helps spread out the use. At $55 for 135 servings for MagRestore I hesitated, but after breaking down the costs, MagRestore ended up $3 cheaper a month (with the free shipping and after the initial loading dose). I also threw on a 60 serving bag of Glucosamine for funsies. So be on the lookout for a review of those products after a couple of months!

Lastly, my Back on Track pad came from my contest win! I hugged it and I am half tempted to try it out first and wear it around the house. I can't wait to see if Bacon likes it or not. Her black pad will go great with her black and purple dressage bonnet!

Lyme buddy likes it.
