Year: 2010

So it’s no secret I’m a big fan of the FITS technology. I met FITS innovator, Sheryl Rudolph back in 2007 and have been inspired by her forward thinking attitude since. Her concepts never seem to amazing me and her latest is no different. I received this PR yesterday from FITS and was shocked to see the before and after pictures of how these Wunderbreech really smoothed out the lines! Here’s their latest launch! Check the pictures out! Before and after…. SCHWEET!

Change that “ugh” to “ooh” with new FITS Wunderbreech and hide any embarrassing looks when wearing white or light colored breeches. Wunderbreech is a flattering blend of cotton, poly and Lycra in a capri length that shapes and hides what you’d prefer not be seen. Our highly opaque fabric blend fills in cellulite lines and hides skin blemishes. Wunderbreech also features a seamless, gusseted crotch for maximum comfort. The capri length eliminates unsightly panty lines and is cooler than full length designs which add bulk under boots. You’ll like them so much that you’ll want to wear them every time you ride. You will love the way breathable Wunderbreeches feel next to your skin under any breech, white or not.

“We developed the Wunderbreech in response to consumer input that unlined white breeches of any brand are simply unflattering. Wunderbreech provides a comfortable base layer to be worn under any breech to insure a highly opaque (not see through) look. It also does a superb job of camouflaging cellulite and skin imperfections.” states Sheryl Rudolph, Founder and President of FITS.

For a limited time introductory offer FITS is offering a free Wunderbreech with every new order of FITS Energy Rib White Full Seat breech. Suggested retail price is $32.00. Available at fine tack stores and online through FITS valued dealer network at www.FITSRiding.com beginning August 2010.

These look super comfy:

Looks like FITS does it again on innovation and kewlness. Thanks for sending this info and pictures over Sheryl! Have a great time at Dressage at Devon!

HorseGirlTV® had a wonderful time with one of our partners, Absorbine, shooting a webisode at the Bit of Britain pavilion. The weather and event was beautiful. While the organization, layout and planning wasn’t perfect, they did the best job with what they had and it seemed like most of the spectators were having a wonderful time. Here’s a few more pictures (in addition to our slider photos above) from the WEG experience.

We got to meet Emily Bates from Bates Australia, makers of the Bates and Isabell saddles and it was a wonderfully educating experience. She was such a lovely person!

While at the Bates booth at the trade center, Angelea was approached by the great lady who had bought Angelea’s very first FEI horse, Highlight, many years ago. Highlight went on to a great career with Karen and lived many more years having sadly passed about a year ago. It wasn’t without many tears that Angelea met Karen in person as they’d shared a friendship and love of Highlight throughout Karen’s time with him.

Angelea signed some autographs for fans. She was able to meet a variety of fans at WEG and so wonderful to capture a few photos with some of the younger fans present at the event as well.

What would such an elite event be without brilliant artwork.

Interesting horse show ball. There were some of these scattered throughout the grounds with several at tall as an average sized person. What an interesting idea!

It wasn’t so much the artwork that was brilliantly interesting but the fact they had to put a sign on the art as to deter patrons from playing on it. Hah!

We watched some reining, dressage and cross country and each stadium was beautifully appointed.

Of course a trip to Kentucky without trying a mint julep was impossible.

This was an amazing waterfall welcome from Alltech.

Here’s a clip from our view of the cross country.

It was a very thankful Thanksgiving this year at the farm and studio as some of our family came out to join us. Ex’s parents and my BFF Brent flew in for a few days to work and play with us.

We broke from some traditions this year making new types of stuffings and a variation on the turkey preparation but making cranberry sauce from scratch was my favorite new Thanksgiving recipe!

The fam got to see young Hansel go…

Of course it wouldn’t be a trip to the farm without a horse photo op!

Doug decided it was a good time to work in the woods and help spread manure around.

He did a great job at clearing the underbrush up by the creek!

This is one of my favorite images from the holiday. The rake focus on the ducks and chickens is so great!

Brent seemed to sneak out of all the photos. How crafty. It was a fabulous holiday and good to be with those that you love!
