Christmas Shopping For New Tack Day 307 (11/07/20) 

OMG hi I'm first to comment and like love you guys so much and today is acally my birthday 🥰💗😃😍🐎

We use those rubber bell boots on our quarter horses in the spring and summer to help keep their shoes on. Have used them for years. They have never stretched and they have never ever come off. I recommend them 100%.

the rubber bell boots don’t stretch out, they stay on their feet perfectly and don’t allow the shoes to come off. buy them and try them.

The bonding you and Penny have Laura just wow and the way she came around the corner when you called her name it’s clear to see you guys are going to go so far I’m so jealous of you and your horses bond already it’s been working on the rescue horse I have for three years and I still haven’t got a really strong bond with him I’m getting there but you know his name is Flicka

My horse loves his fluffy girth he isn’t as reactive with it on and it doesn’t pinch as much as the other girth

Those bell boots will last forever we have used them on my horse even though he doesn't have shoes he always over reaches and they have lasted for 2 1/2 years and they are still practically new (exept for the mud lol) and haven't stretched 1 tiny bit i would personally buy those for storm and chino because they are way better then the ones you guys are using right now but can we notice that the bond you have with penny is amazing already 🤩

sometimes its not about what you like, its about whats best for the horse (sorry if this sounds rude, im a huge fan btw))

I would just get those bell boots my horse gets his bell boots off all the time and they don’t stretch out or come off. They are also really good for horses that have sensitive skin and might get cuts from bell boots

Sophie should try the Miss Shield from Samshield. I also have a round head, and the only helmets that really fits me are the Miss Shield from Samshield and they are pretty

Those bell boots are awesome. I had the same pair on my horse from March until I pulled his shoes in September. They are super durable, and do not stretch out.

If u get the braided reins u will have to wear gloves because if penny pulled the reins will rub and really hurt ur hands

Those pull on bell boots last forever I have a super active horse and he’s had his for about a year

Laura I recommend using a metal pitchfork I’ve had mine for 3 years and it’s never broke!

The bond you have with penny is incredible! You have only had her for like a week or so, but already you can see that she trusts and loves you! I feel like if penny was a human you would be best friends! She is totally a gift from stella!

When shopping for a new helmet another test is to wear it around the shop for 5min to make sure it isn’t too tight or has pressure anywhere that may cause a sore head.

Everyone on this channel are the most kindest people on earth . Everyone in the comments giving them hate :it has nothing to do with you. When gabby says that rubber stretches that is her preference and in her opinion it does so people need to stop telling this family what to do and that their wrong . This family has opened up to RU-vid and shared their lives with RU-vid so we need to respect their choices and if we have an opinion great : keep it to yourself or say it kindly . 💜

Get a western pair of reins I literally have leather western reins that are so comfortable and it’s easier to take the reins off with western reins as they have clips on the bit but yea ...western reins don’t have that funky buckle in the middle of the reins like the English ones do

sophie: you have to keep your hands up here, also sophie: has her hands on her stomach 24/7 when riding😂

Head placement comes after body placements. Your body placement and the horses body placement. But boy when ur in that same collected and balanced rhythm it’s amazing

You know I'm sorry to say this but Gabby doesn't know everything about horses and when people are trying to give you advice like for example those rubber boots that will help your horses you should put your foot down and say no we're getting these and we are going to put them on our horses just my advice you should just do it because overall you want your horses to be healthy you want to take care of your horses love them but also make sure they don't get hurt and if those boots are going to prevent your horses from getting hurt I say go for it and not every horses used to rubber boots and sometimes depending on what kind of material the boots are made of and if they're too tight can rub your horse it can cause sores but also if you get two big ones that are loose they will come off I'm just trying to say you shouldn't say no to something until you try it out and see if it works for you and your animals

Yesssssss you picked Penny Lane! I love that name!

The beginning of this is so heart warming! I needed a video from you guys! Have had a rough day yesterday and busy morning this morning. My old retired mare Choked and we had to have the vet come out. Have a lot of maintenance to do for her to help her stay healthy. But your videos cheer me up! The begging really made my heart happy, Laura I’m so happy for you and SO proud of you, I know I’m 17 and your an adult haha, but LAURA! YOUR HAVE CAME SOOOOO FAR! And you are such a great horse person, penny is the perfect girl for you, I also can’t wait for more and more of your journey with her!

“Normal” peoples wish list: Electronics, clothes, junk food, etc Equestrians wish list: Saddle pads, saddle, bridle, boots, riding boots, helmet, new horse, etc Anyone else find it hilarious how once your into horses your mind set completely changes? 😂👌

I cant wait til christmas. You guys take really good care of your horses. I am so proud how far you guys have came.

When you called penny And she came around the corner I could tell she was so happy to see you🥰🥺

Christmas is my favourite holiday and I love watching your Christmas shopping! Love you guys ❤️

For your pitch fork, we tie duck tape around the end, by where the plastic and wood connect, and it helps them last longer.

Look into the high horse daisetta/magnolia saddle. We chose that one for my mother for her trail saddle. Light weight, pretty, different skirt styles to choose from and different gullets to match gaited vs stock horse. Extremely comfortable. High horse is a made by circle y. Easy to clean as well!

You should get the rubber bell boots! I rode a horse that lived in them 24/7, he wore them in turnout and jumping and they never fell off. You won’t loose them as easily

I don't know why but I'm literally so obsessed with sponges I love them!

Hi Day by day! I love your videos so much they are awesome! Just a tip with Keeping Penny’s head down, you can buy something called bungee reins and they clip onto you girth and over penny’s head, and keep her head down with a bit of pressure! I have these for my horse and it really helped and after having them for a month or so he learnt to keep his head down! 💕🦄🙂

You and penny are growing together so nicely! Make sure when you first get on you don't let her run off, it's like the girls jumping on and cantering off, need to make sure she is nice and warm before she even gaits, just walk for a few laps ❤️ loving watching you two bond it's so nice

I relate to gabby so much! We have the same type of attitude! I thought penny looked a tiny bit tight but I also don’t know Tennessee walking horses so I wouldn’t know enough! I also love that you named her penny lane. One of my favorite beetles songs!!!

Gated horses have a tendency to always put there head up because it helps when going in higher gates

Well done Laura, as I’ve said before I think you’re hands are ok, it’s just the consistency and you’re right, you do want to maintain a light contact ( as long as your hands are steady) and yours are 👍You’re also right that slowing a horse doesn’t just involve the reins, but your seat, body and legs too. You can’t put you’re hands too far back in the western saddle due to the horn, so again, you don’t want your hands in your crotch, but you also don’t want them half way up the horses neck either 😊 One tip is to keep your fingers closed around the reins, that doesn’t mean a death grip lol, but you tend to open your fingers and just my opinion, but I think that adds to you problems potentially in terms of steering and brakes 😊 I did think she looked a bit off, but I’m not used to gaited horses, although I would have thought there pace should still be even on all legs ( if that makes sense). I know I’ve asked before and you haven’t mentioned it, but when are you going to get the vet out to give her a good check up? Even if there are a few issues it doesn’t necessarily mean she wouldn’t be suitable, however in my view, better to know what your dealing with so that you can make any adjustments or get her treated accordingly. I really hope she’s ok though and will be for your trail ride 😊👍🤞

Aww, I love how Penny came to you when you called her. I think that when someone is on a trail ride the person is more vigilant. No one wants to fall on the trail. I’ve also been investigating the cost of breeches, boots, and helmet. Wow! If I do start riding I will wear leggings. I won’t be showing so breeches are not necessary. The helmet definitely necessary. Maybe short boots. We’ll see. Wearing #TeamFinn shirt today. Proud of you, Laura, for how well you’re doing with Penny. 🍀🍀🍀🍀

Laura when I first got my horse I needed a cheap saddle that could basically do everything. So I found an 18 inch all purpose saddle from stateline tack and it was only around $120. It was a great buy and it feels amazing, I highly recommend that saddle, it also comes with stirrup leathers a girth and stirrups. I don’t use that saddle anymore because with have a newer one however I highly recommend it if you want a big saddle. It’s an all purpose English saddle but I know you wanted a western or Australian stock saddle.

Awww love how Sam is an involved show dad. Mine we had to beg to go he only wrnt to the big shows. But horses arent my dads thing it was mine lol. I love those brackets wish we had tack stores like that here where I live.

I love you guys so much you are amazing people and you never fail to make me happy you're so lucky to have horses I love you all so much x

Please tell sophie that she is stronger than she thinks and braver than she believes, And Gabby you are strong and will break many men's heart, and Lora just stay awesome

My friend has those bell boots and they never came off of her horses feet and she’s been using them for three years.

In the videos, your rein length was actually good. AND she slowed off of your seat which is awesome. If you watch the footage back you can see you have slack in the rein when you are riding, your not pulling, she doesn't look tense etc. It looked great😊 so happy you are enjoying your girl, you definitely needed a horse of your very own to enjoy😊😊

Awww Penny melts my heart she’s got the most gorgeous face 💗

17:39 “Do you like the braided?” Me saying to my self: I love braided reins

Gosh I can’t believe it’s almost Christmas! This year has flown 😳

Schleich horses are so beautiful i cant walk into a story without at least buying 2 Edit: I realized you new lead rope matches your saddle pad with the colors.

GET A CORRIENTE!! They are inexpensive, super durable , and really comfy they fit almost all my horses amazing saddles !!!

With Sophie’s helmet you can put foam padding in in places where it doesn’t fit quite right to make it fit perfectly. That’s what i had done with my helmet.

I agree Laura, those bell boots would be a great job. You could put your ordinary boots underneath them. No hate at all, but gabby can sometimes be a bit of a fuss, they are bell boots that will stay on your horse and they are better than looking your other ones in the pasture! How and ever in the teenage years, you probably change and be like that! Great video as always. ❤️

Your hands were so much better this ride Laura!! that's why you have breaks now she's listening when you do ask, because your asks are so much more clear and effective, yes tightening your core and sitting back and up helps with stopping, I have a tendency to over tense and bend my ankle and feet, so making sure they're relaxed round the horse and theres no tension there also helps with breaks too, just trying to keep complete feeling of calm through your body even if you're anxious, trying to remember to breathe deep and calmly, and learning that helps me with my anxiety in day to day life too c: I did too think penny looked a little off at one point but it might've been her going a little quick and stumbling downhill slightly as I didnt see it the whole ride, definitely check her over, when will your farrier see her?

hey! sorry i’m late:) when sophie wanted bell boots for finn or to get shoes on him. bell boots are for horses who clip the front and back hoof, who lose a shoe etc. shoes help balance the horses hoof and i don’t think finn needs them! luv ya

You guys have such a big collection for schleich at your store ! I live in Canada to and I go to chapters for my schleich , I only have a quarter of a selection of what you guys have ! 😢😱😅 but anyways .. I hope you guys have an awesome day and let god watch over you ! I love you guys so much! It’s my dream to meet you and , I live in the Halifax region ! So I have about a 4 hour plane ride ! You guys inspire me to be myself, collect schleich and own and ride horses ! 🥰🙏🏻💖🐴 I know you won’t see this or like or comment but that’s ok ! I know you can’t get to all the comments and like every single one ! 💖💖🐴🐴

Teach Penny poll pressure. It’s very helpful when bridling. Apply pressure on the poll with your fingers and as soon as she puts her head down release

Hi Laura! I wanted to say I really recommend the one k defender, it is very comfortable and love it! You guys should definitely get a one k!

If your tack store has them I really recommend an IRH helmet, they look super similar to a one k or samshield and are really comfortable

I personally prefer the braised reins! But whichever you like is what you should get

Maybe you could try an Icelandic saddle! They're designed for gaited horses and most of them have super padded seats and are really comfortable!

“ Penny is like the boss but a gentle boss! “ So true Sophie! 😂

Hi! Sorry I wasn’t active again :/ I was camping In Joshua Tree for a couple days :) Can’t wait to catch up❤️❤️

I love how that store does the Christmas lists! That’s really helpful because no one else in my family are Equestrian’s and they don’t know what to get me and my horse for Christmas😋 They usually end up giving me riding socks tho and I LOVE SOCKS😂!! I’m so hyped for Christmas now!

Hey Gabby you can always get custom made riding boots . too fit you better . And the bell boots that your mother had those won't come off at all. Especially when the horses are running around playing. all my 💘 to all

Penny was not lame, she's perfectly fine. You know your horse best, the kids won't always be right.

19:00 for anyone interested I have a bracelet just like that but brown and the knobs that screw the nameplate in are a lot smaller for a cleaner look. I got it from Dover Saddlery it’s caller Perri’s padded leather nameplate bracelet! I highly recommend it for a Christmas gift. 🤗

I still remember the giveaway I won many years ago from you guys! I still have the horses to this day and love watching your videos

Personally I think every horse should at least have bell boots on when riding just because anything can happen and it could save tons of money over time if your horse overreaches at all, not to mention it can prevent them from hurting themselves. The bell boots you all looked at won't stretch overtime as well. The part that tends to stretch out is the velcro, not the rubber :)

I personally like the braided reins because it helps me grip with my gloves. Ive had a pair of reins without a buckle if you like the braided ones just keep on trying to find some without a buckle

I love tack shopping near Christmas 🎄

I really recommend those lace up ariat boots for the winter. They kept my feet warm all winter

Penny seems like she’s finally warmed up to her new home! That’s awsome!

Awesome work Laura! Your doing awesome!! Love you and penny's journey so far can't wait to see more. A little tip for bringing her head lower have your hands wider.

I have the Ariat paddock boots that slip on!! They are the best things I bought for winter and they are also great for riding!

The pull on bell boots are better then the velcro ones. I had a horse who would rip the velcro off and we would always have to buy a new pair each week.

You are my favorite RU-vidr ever Daybyday vlogs so much!! Gabby and Sophie looks so beautiful and healthy girls!! Stay safe and healthy!! I love your channel 💖!!

Those rubber bell boots actually stay on for a lot longer than the strap on boots do! I’d really recommend them and I use them as over reach boots while I show jump as well :)

using the bitless is still going to be your best bet, for taking pressure off of her. Using bits is for higher levels of communication, which you still need to learn. I hope you see that letting go and trusting her is the best. Relationship 101 - you got this Laura! Good for you.

Nice shopping trip! Keep looking for your saddle Laura. it's out there just like Penny was.💓

I could watch you channel all day

I had a pair of winter riding boots they are very good but it made it harder to put on your half chaps with them

ahh my dream to go tack shopping. ive been riding for 8 years and i’m still yet to get a horse or even loan one! but its really nice to watch you guys improve have been watching since 2018

what size does gabby get in the lemieux base layers? i’m looking at getting one for myself

You look a lot better on penny! To slow down your rein length looks really good but you want to close your fingers around the reins not necessarily pull and then release the pressure. And to get her head down you want to pull one rein at a time, close ur left fingers than your right. You seem to be bonding really well

When penny came around the corner that just melted my heart you are bonding with her so well shes so gentle love the name penny lane and stella bell💕

Laura: 'Penny isn't a bitter' Penny: *Bites Willow*

I am just like Sophie I really wanted a ONE K but I had a round circular head so I got a TIPPERARY WINDSOR helmet (it is a bit more expensive than a ONE K but it had mip technology and is sooo comfy) she should check them out

Lura you should look at Hilason treeles saddles they will fit any horse you polut them on. I have one and you can't tell they difference between the looks of it but you can truly feel a difference. My horse feels so much more free in my treeless saddle I love it so much. I'm not sure if hilason ships to Canada though you'd have to look. The treeless saddles don't move as much as you'd think they would either they are pretty secure most barrel racers use treeless saddles. Sorry for such a long comment but moral of the story I recommend hilason treeless saddles Hope you find the saddle of your dreams ❤❤

In a video from 10 months ago called shopping at amazing new tack store there was a light pink lead rope and u said “if I ever get a horse this is what I want.” Lol just thought it was cool. Love u guys ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

For sophia’s round head Charles Owens, the IRH ir4g, trama voids, and samshields are the best and the safest!

I suggest you get a endurance saddle. They are very comfortable for you and for the horse. They are on the expensive side but they come in variety of sizes. I struggled finding a saddle that was 18inches and that fit my horse very well. Let me know if you try it! Much love💕

Awe penny coming to you is the sweetest!!!

Penny is doing so good but about her holding her head high walkers naturally Carry their head high but with some training she should start to lower her head and about the saddles I recommend a cut back saddle seat saddle if you get a English one they are the most comfortable on gaited horses and run in pretty big sizes I just recently bought one for my walking mares and I love love love it and western saddles It really doesn’t matter they are all great for gaited horses

I have those brown auken boots that you showed. They aren’t super warm but they keep your feet dry.

I got my bracelet at Big Dee’s online they are very good quality! I love the bracelets. I have one that is for my horse that passed away. It says Everything KoJac. I have to get a new one for my horse now named Acelin. I will wear both of them like gabby will.

Where I live we’ve already had 2 snowstorms😂 you guys look like you still have nice weather!

And the saddle seat English saddle is really good for the way gaited horses move it helps them move freely they are pretty expensive but well worth it if I ride a gait horse I always ride in one because it’s the most comfortable for me and the horse and it really helps them move well because of the cutback I’ve ridden in several different kinds of English saddles and this is by far the most comfortable for me instead of having to keep my legs tight saddle seat saddles you put your stirrups as low as you can reach its way more comfortable to me

I recommend a Charles Owen helmet for Sophie. I have a really round head and they fit well.

Laura you need to get barrel racing reins it clips on to the bit then you can change the length AND there is NO clip, also Laura there was a light pink lead rope at Greenhawk.

If you are open to it I have ridden in an WinTec dressage saddle on one of my clients horses and it is more comfortable than any western saddle I have been in!!! See if there is a used one you could try. I and a show jumper so I tend to like English saddles more but it is my favorite trail saddle. I ask to use it on other horses time to time if I am going on a trail.

you might have to reserch about collection and frameing and low head carrige in a gaited horse as they have different front structure as it,s important for them as well wonder if there is a club in your area would be lovely for you and sophie to mix with other gaited horse lovers sophie has her gaited horse all planned out lol penny did seem a little off in the outside front leg as you were going clock wise but im most likely wrong

I can’t wait for Christmas!!

I’ve found that spring loaded girth’s rust way faster than other girth’s they also break really easy also the rubber girth’s last way longer the fur on the girth’s you were saying you like gets gross really fasg even after washing them
