Christmas comes earlier every year. What we notice with Equestrian clothing is that people are looking for the heavier weight garments such as hoodies or long-sleeved tops, but if t-shirts (which you'd expect to be more summery) have the right design and price, they sell like hot cakes too. Like our Wild Thang tee for example!It's been a very busy November. Roll on December! :-)

We've had confirmation that the industrial action scheduled for the week of 15th October is NOT now going ahead.This means deliveries should be taking place daily this week. However we do advise there is still a backlog of some mail noticeable, so thanks for your patience, as it'll take some time for Royal Mail services to return to normal.

We’d been watching HOYS with interest – particularly as our sponsored rider Abbie was interviewed by Sky TV sporting one of our latest hoodies. We’ll be adding an ‘As featured on Sky TV’ flash to the site sometime when we can get round to it...! We felt a little removed from the action relying on the TV coverage, so have been trying for most of the past week to go onto the HOYS website and

On a team day out to Stockley Farm this past week (click here for Stockley Farm's great website) we noted with amusement our Sales Manager Duncan finally met his equine self. Duncan the pony was feeling a little shy though so we only got a hindquarters shot in. However, we found out that the erstwhile steed wasn't just feeling bashful or hiding a trendy mane. The poor fellow does have something

The past two horse shows we've been due at have been cancelled due to flooding, as has the forthcoming Wirral Horse Show. Our thoughts are with anyone who has been affected by the flooding in late June, including anyone in the Equestrian community and the North of England.At Horsey Chick HQ we've now banned anyone from singing in the rain, in the bath, in the shower, speaking about rain or indeed

We had a successful event at Cheshire's first Equine fair on 21st May. We were also pleased to see coverage across Cheshire, in a number of local and regional titles.

SaddleUp Cheshire is an initiative funded by Rural Enterprise, which aims to bring a focal point to the Equestrian community in Cheshire. Naturally we support anything which furthers Equestrian lifestyle as an interest, so we were delighted when they asked us to participate in Cheshire's first Equine Trade Fair later this month.The concept and SaddleUp Cheshire website are still quite young and

A question we're often asked by riders is ‘how do I get sponsored?’. At some point or other most serious riders do think about getting sponsored in some way. This gives rise to a few questions, so we thought we'd share our take on this with you.Horsey Chick have two rider sponsorships annually. For 2007 these are taken by Abbie Hurst and her 8 y.o. coloured pony Dolsey - we sponsor them to help
