We all know that the big news from yesterday was the three winners of the ginormous ridiculously huge amount of money Powerball, but besides our natural jealousy of those people (think how many ponies you could have!) the worst part of yesterday was hearing about the passing of Alan Rickman. This is 100% not horsey related, but I am a totally unabashed Potter dork, and watching him play Snape was one of my favorite things. He was also unbelievably amazing in so many other movies, and I will truly miss his baritone purr. So far, the start of 2016 has been rough with losing legends.

Tis the season for quarter sheets all the time! Even if you’re down south, you’re gonna appreciate a quarter sheet in the morning every now and again, especially on some fresh ponies that are just getting fit again for the spring season. There’s nothing like a Newmarket print that screams EVENTER!! And this quarter sheet is perfect for your cold weather needs. It’s fleecy and soft, easy to wash, wicks away sweat and also insulates just enough, as well as being tapered so your leg can actually touch the horse in the right spots when you need it. Get you one! [SmartPak Product of the Day]
