Must Haves This Spring! Gimme Gimme Gimme!

Le Fash Tuxedo Shirt with Hunt Coat

The best part of Spring cleaning is that it creates extra room in your closet and barn tack trunk for MORE items! This month I wanted to share with everyone some new items that I have been using frequently so far this Spring!

Show season is getting into full swing, so what better time to purchase yourself a new show shirt? I choose Le Fash for Andrea's new look! Spring also means more sunlight and longer days. Not only can the sun's rays bleach my beautiful bay coat, but it can wreck havoc on your thin human skin. Andrea is obsessed with keeping her face wrinkle-free (not sure why, she has about 10 other things she should be more concerned with), and what better way to protect her face than this helmet visor from Equivisor.  Since Andrea is protecting her forehead from wrinkles, I want to too! Besides, I am the face behind this operation! Check out my Pony Glam custom Bonnett below! Lastly, Swoon Boutique sent us this adorable horsie ring below. It looks like those trendy two-finger rings that are all over the place, but really is just for one finger-which makes it way easier to wear!

Le Fash Tuxedo Shirt

I have been dying for Andrea to break out her Le Fash show shirt. I even have been really good at home, putting up with all her riding mistakes, just so she would take me to a show and wear it! You may remember that I interviewed Le Fash owner and founder, Arianna Vastino, last year about her fashion forward riding shirts. Arianna personally emailed with me until we decided on the perfect first shirt for Andrea to tryout: the Tuxedo Shirt. The Tuxedo Shirt has Egyptian white cotton strategically placed in those areas visible under a hunt coat. Black Bamboo knit panels and sleeves make up the rest of the shirt, giving your rider complete mobility and a sleek, tailored silhouette.  The look is traditional enough for the show ring, but modern enough to be worn with black pants and heels for a girls' night out on the town. Andrea's favorite parts: the magnetic collar and gold buttons.  The shirt is defintely worth the splurge! In fact, Andrea just pre-ordered a Le Fash Polo! Click here for Le Fash Facebook!  Please tell them Pony Glam sent you!!!!

Equivisor in Straw Natural

A friend picked up Andrea this Equisvor from a mobile tack store at the WEF showgrounds. Like I mentioned above, she is obsessed with protecting her face and eyes from the sun's harmful rays. Andrea had been looking for a helmet visor that would actually stay on her helmet while she was riding.  The last visor continued to fly off and hit my romp on the way down (rude!). So far, this one has only flown off one time and it was incredibly windy that day. Andrea even jumps me in it without any problems. Admittedly, everyone does make fun of us when she is riding, but it is a small price to pay for beautiful skin! The Equivisor can be worn off your helmet too. It comes in all kinds of colors - even leopard print! Pictured is the Straw Natural.

Subtle rhinestones!

Andrea isn't the only one that gets to protect her forehead from the elements! The Country Saddler made me this beautiful, hand-made Pony Glam bonnett to protect my ears from flies, bugs and loud, rude noises. Really we all know it is just a fun fashion statement. I wear it to all my jumper shows and everyone asks about it. It has the perfect about of rhinestones on the border and the Pony Glam patch really pops against the black. Email us at drea@ponyglam.com for more info!


Swoon Boutique is a local North Carolina boutique that sells human clothing and jewlery. These clothes you definitely do not want to wear around the barn...they are way too cute for that! How adorbs is this horse ring that Andrea recieved? The horse could stand to eat a few more bales of hay, but nonetheless it sure is trendy. Visit their Facebook page to check out their stuff! Click here for Swoon Boutique!  Please tell them Pony Glam sent you!!!!

Nerds! I do love this shirt though!

Fits snugly on your helmet!

Everyone Loves a Good Field Trip!

Me, wondering why this is fun for the humans.

This New Year's Resolution thing has been a breeze so far!! I am checking things off my list left and right! Recently some of us got trailered to WNAAA for a little cross country "fun"! These humans are so weird! What could possibly be fun about running around a perfectly good grassy field and jumping solid obstacles? Don't they know that monsters lurk around every corner? Good news is that I got to work those butt muscles that I told you about in my previous blog post. Bad news is that Andrea did not share my enthusiasm for crow hopping and prancing. She is beyond boring!

WNAAA is in Monroe, NC, and is the strangest place I have ever been. It is a large equestrian facility, around 125 acres, with stables, a covered arena, jumper arena, dressage ring, schooling areas,  5 level cross country course and various trail areas.   So what is so strange about that, you ask? Umm, how about the roaming zebras (poor things, stripes are sooo last season), camels, ostriches, emus, donkeys, kangaroos, goats, reptiles and many other odd creatures! My senses almost exploded as soon as I got off the trailer! In fairness, all these animals are part of a petting zoo on the premises, but who can really trust fences? I am pretty sure the camel could have stepped over the fence and swallowed me whole.

Despite the camels and such, the humans seemed to have a blast. Everyone warmed up by trotting around the permieter of one of the cross country courses. This path took us through the woods, over hills and over small ditches. My sometimes-friend Max was so excited about his first time doing cross country schooling that he had to go off on his own and canter about 50 laps. It was an innocent, yet novice, mistake on his part.  After warming up, we spent about 2 hours jumping various obstacles that you don't see every day at your own barn. There were log jumps, banks, drops, ditches, coffins and much more.

Me, looking fab, but remaining on full alert for monsters.

In summary, even though I would much rather spend my Sundays basking in the sun in my grassy field dreaming about being a broodmare, nothing beats the monotomy of the arena like a good field trip with friends!

Baker Breeches (no muffins included) and Custom Goods from The Country Saddler

Front Pocket Baker Accent Patches

I've done it!! I have successfully managed to steal AC's credit card and order Andrea some proper schooling breeches. Bonus: I am keeping true to one of my New Year's Resolutions!! I was browsing some of the pictures on SmartkPak and I thought these Baker Elite Breeches would be a good start in sprucing Andrea up a bit at the barn. These suckers came in and they were true to their word: fashion forward with wonderful little accent patches of the original and eye-catching Baker plaid.  Now she can match me when I am looking lovely in my Baker blankets! The fabric is different than your normal breeches.  It combines Coolmax, Microfiber and Lycra, which aid in giving the breeches durability, stretch and added comfort.  Dirt also wipes off pretty easily - I tested this out by wiping my snot across her butt... a few times.  The breeches are also front zip, with double snap enclosures, something Andrea was excited about. She said it decreased "muffin top exposure", whatever that means...I spent 5 minutes looking for muffins to no avail. I love blueberry muffins!!

We both have Ombre pony tails!

She also was gushing over the wide belt loops and the back pockets with the Baker patch details. These breeches also have a stretchy sock bottom giving them zero bulky material around your calves, which means they EASILY fit under your chaps. I mean I really out did myself this time people!!!!

The breeches come in multiple colors (pictured: Charcoal). I ordered Andrea her normal size and she thought they fit perfectly, maybe a tad snug at first in the waist but after a few minutes it seemed to give and stretch.  I posted some close up pictures below so you can see the accent details on the front pockets and back pockets! The more pockets, the better possibility for treats!

PG Chaps by Journeyman
(sold exclusively by The Country Saddler)

You may have seen an earlier post about our PG Chaps by Journeymen sold exclusively by The Country Saddler. These babies fit like a glove. Janet  at TCS is a master with the measuring tape. She also does the most amazing George Morris impersonation, which I guess is okay to do without fear of a lightning bolt striking you down if you are his friend like she is!  But anyway, Andrea says the chaps are so soft and supple, they just mold to your leg and you never want to take them off! Note: This is bad news if you are a horse because it increases your chances of being taken out for a "quick ride". I don't know much about chaps, but I do know that Andrea gets compliments ALL THE TIME when she has them on. It is actually kind of annoying now that I think about it...

If you are in the market for new half or full chaps, or any leather repair or creation for that matter, and are in the NC/SC vicinity, make sure to think about The Country Saddler. They are super easy to work with and Wayne is truly amazing at what he does!

As far as the breeches, I think they were a good buy. I am not sure how I feel about the other colors though - I think Charcoal was definitely the best one! Smartpak has them on sale right now so if you need some Breeches, follow the link above!

If your Baker product does not
have this patch, it is not real!

"So much to do, so little done, such things to be"

That's IT? A measly stocking??

Happy New Year Friends! I hope everyone had a better Christmas than I did! I have asked for a chandelier in my stall now for 3 years...THREE years and NOTHING! How can I put on my colored SWAT with this measly light bulb? It's bad enough that I don't have any hands...also something that I have asked for repeatedly! I am supposed to be discussing New Year's resolutions. Wow thanks, Andrea, for such a unique blog topic for a January post. So without further adieu here are a few of MY New Year's Resolutions, which I believe should be adopted by everyone!!

I love my Dr. Lisa! 

♥ Treat Yo-Self!     Being awesome 24-7 can be pretty exhausting work! I am constantly trying to come up with new ways to challenge the humans, all the while looking effortlessly fabulous! So therefore this year I resolve to treat myself more often to the finer things in life because DUH, I deserve it! First on my list is scheduling more equine chiropractic sessions with Dr. Lisa! Nothing makes me feel better than a few cracks and pops! Granted I don't have my own money supply (yet), but have no fear! I just need to start acting out while Andrea is riding me. Works every time! So let those bucks fly my friends and treat yo-self to a massage, a facial, or a chiro session this new year!

In my NC area and looking for an equine chiro: Dr. Lisa Busko Website! (Also scroll down for my July Blog Entry)

UTAH area and looking for a great equine massage: Lisa Rask Massage Services

Miles of Sand Covered Trails and Jumps!

♥ Get Your Sexy Back: Lose Those Holiday Pounds! I have successfully batted my eyelashes at every stall passerby this year, and as a result have indulged in an endless supply of carrots, cookies, apples, hamburgers, potato chips, sweet tarts and flakes of hay. I turn 13 this year and my girth is not what it used to be, if you know what I mean. I need to trick the humans into thinking I really like Hunter Pacing. Hunter Pacing, especially at The Walthour Moss Foundation in that deep Southern Pines sand, is a great way to build those butt muscles! You also are guaranteed to get away with at least one "spook" there because of all of the deer and wildlife! Spooking + Jumping over solid fences = Sign me up!! 
Interested in where I go? Look at their Facebook Page at: The Walthour Moss Foundation

Sinna, if you are reading this, you might want to consider lunging yourself because no amount of trail riding is going to help that crusty neck!

Boysenberry and Blue Black TS Breeches!

♥ Always Be Well Turned Out!   With all my PG Gear, and the whole never rolling thing, this one is easy for ME.  However, my human is another story and unfortunately for you guys, she is in nearly half of all my pictures! Just because you are at the barn all day does not mean you have to dress like it is cow barn! Hello?! You don't see me standing around my field in a Target blanket? Taking an extra few minutes each day to give yourself a once over won't just get silent "thank-yous" from your friends, but it will make YOU feel better about yourself and the day ahead!   While recently Googling myself I came across the cutest pair of deep purplish  (technical color is Boysenberry) Tailored Sportsman breeches on Shop Dapple Gray! Shop DG has THE fiercest human items! If you haven't stopped by their page you should just stay in 2012! Shop DG!!! 

♥ Learn Something New!   Once I jumped the oxer jump AND the cantering pole all in one stride! That was amusing and you should have seen the looks on their faces! This year get inspired and learn something new! Not only does it exercise your brain but it will also impress your friends. I am looking for some cool new tricks to learn so please message me at drea@ponyglam.com. I promise I will give them a try and upload any resulting videos!

Posh Purple!

♥ Pony Glam 4eva!   Admittedly, Pony Glam has been a blast! I get to wear sparkly things, have my picture taken, write blog articles, text with Casallo and lip curl to all my fans. What more can a girl ask for? Hmm, maybe a chandelier in my stall? ... In 2013 I want to help Andrea get Pony Glam into more tack stores, more press articles and get more fabulous Pony Paparazzi pictures! Hoof Hi-Lites will always be our premiere product, and an additional color is in our pipeline of ideas, do not worry! Be on the lookout for new LONG SLEEVE Show Pony t-shirts in NEW colors and in GIRLS sizes!!!

Get your spook on! Happy Happy Halloween!

“Never put your faith in a Prince. 
When you require a miracle, trust in a Witch.” 

Once again that time of year where all the fillies find an excuse to dress up like broodmares has come and gone! Andrea was supposed to find me the most perfect outfit this year, something to accentuate my long dancers legs, but instead she waited until 5 minutes before this blog post and put this lame witch hat on me. I guess because it has sparkles I am supposed to feel better? To make matters worse, the witch hat and cape are not even hers...I heard her ask my Aunt Lexi, "Do you have a witch hat I could borrow for Chloe's blog picture". To which Lexi disturbingly replied, "Yea, I actually have one in my truck". WHAT in the world? What is wrong with these humans? And they think I am weird when I rip my blankets off the stall wall and stomp on them... I said I wanted wallpaper people! Not last season's SmartPak blankets on my wall!

But anywayyyys, thanks fans for sending in your Halloween Costume Pictures. I am really sorry your owners put you through these things. Perhaps I should be thankful that I only have to suffer through wearing this 1990's witch hat? Oh well, I am going to go spook at something...till next time Show Ponies!  xoxo- Chloe

"When it comes to luck , you make your own"

You may remember that in my interview last week with Erin McGuire I asked her what sort of superstitious habits she partakes in before the big shows (see below if you missed this award-winning journalism).  Erin answered with some sort of mumbo-jumbo about not believing in luck, but believing in not believing in luck??? Yeah, I know, it sounds like something I imagine Kristen Stewart would say... Lucky (excuse the pun) for Erin, I really like looking at Casallo so I didn't start having one of my "she needs depo episodes" right then and there.

My silly human, Andrea, will tell you that she "agrees with Erin", that she believes luck is something you create for yourself, through hard work and unwavering dedication. She will spat off some sort of Oprah-like quote that says "luck is the meeting of preparation and opportunity". Interesting, especially since she purposely wears the same necklace at every show...or that when she was little she would carry a 4-leaf clover in her jacket pocket! These silly humans! Luck had nothing to do with me being good at my first Jumper show! I was tired and hungry! I wasn't born yesterday, I knew that the faster I was my naturally awesome self, the faster I could get home, showered, fed and out in the pasture with my newest BFF, Paladin. I am pretty sure that Jennifer Zeuner Horizontal Cross Necklace (which is SO three years ago I might add) had nothing to do with me winning!

Anyway, I digress... It turns out Andrea is not alone. When I asked some other high profile PG users about whether they had any superstitious habits for the big shows and Indoors, this is what I found out:

Lillie Keenan (Junior Rider and Equitation Queen): She has a special sweater that she dons throughout the Indoor season for good luck! Her favorite Hoof Hi-Lites are: Sassy Silver for her Hunters and Bella Blue for her Jumpers!
Maddie Schaefer (Pony Princess):  She carries good luck charms in her show coat pocket!

Kaitlin and O.C.

Kaitlin Porath (TOP Amateur Owner): She wears a lucky show coat. This coat is so lucky that she has been wearing it since her Medium Pony days and only brings it out for the big shows and Indoors!! Her favorite Hoof Hi-Lites: Sassy Silver!
Elizabeth Devor (Amateur Owner Star): Liz doesn't have any superstitions per se, unless you count making sure everything is very, very, very clean! Her favorite Hoof Hi-Lites is Gimme Gold!


I don't care what Chloe has to say about luck, I am still wishing Erin and all of my PG friends GOOD LUCK this Indoor season!! Thanks again for your continued support of Pony Glam. You girls rock! xoxo-Andrea

Indoors, Jumbotrons, Luck, Swedish Fish and ... CASALLO

Chloe chats with Erin McGuire of Cornelius, NC, about her road to Indoors with Casallo, the official (and first) Pony Glam spokeshorse.  As if there was any doubt, Casallo has qualified for all of the prestigious Indoor horse shows: Harrisburg, WIHS, and the National Horse Show. Erin will be his mount for the Large Junior division and Liza Towell Boyd will ride him in the professional divisions.

Chloe: Let me start with congratulating you on qualifying for Indoors! I know you follow the point standings all year so it wasn't too much of a surprise but how did you feel when you checked the qualifying list for the final time and saw Casallo's name?

Erin:  It’s always such a relief when the qualifying lists are posted! Regardless of how many points you have, it’s still rewarding to see where you stand on the lists!

Chloe: Speaking of where one stands, why isn't Casallo returning my emails? Didn't he notice that I got my tail dyed recently? Andrea has been making me work my butt muscles, surely he has noticed that??

Erin:  Ohhh he’s a mess! He’s probably busy eating his hay net... it’s a full time job! I’ll remind him he has other priorities to attend to!

Chloe: Well, you should tell him that the livestream footage for these Indoor shows adds at least 30lbs, so he may want to lay off the hay net!  Anyway, back to my (boring) list of pre-approved questions...Are you superstitious during show season? Do you have any superstitious habits for the big shows?

Erin:  NO! I look at it this way: if there’s lucky then there’s unlucky. What happens if I misplace my lucky item? Or if it magically becomes unlucky... then what? So I guess you could say I am superstitious about luck!

Chloe: Uh, okay? Who knew you were also a philosopher? Can you describe for my readers what it is like to step out into the indoor arena at WIHS and the other Indoor shows? Also, I would really like to see myself on the jumbo-tron at WIHS. You think you could pull some strings?

Erin: All Indoor shows are different and the feel is really based off of location. At Harrisburg you feel like you are in a dome because the stands are so upright. At WIHS I almost feel relieved to be in the show ring because the schooling area is SO tiny! Either way, it’s an honor to compete at any Indoors show so I try to relax and stay focused. As far as the jumbo-tron goes... maybe I could submit your picture instead of mine?

Chloe: What is the best thing about riding Casallo? Hardest part?

Erin:  Casallo gives his rider such an amazing feeling. He is so suspended in everything he does; he knows he’s fabulous. The hardest part would be keeping his attention! He often times gets distracted by his own ego.

Chloe: Ego??? Never heard of it!... So, you have been riding with Jack Towell at Finally Farm in Camden, SC for nearly 2 years now.  Share with us something invaluable he has told you that everyone should know as a rider and competitor. (Particularly something that would help Andrea, as she gets on my last nerve at shows!)

Erin:  I am so grateful to work with  Jack because he is such a knowledgeable horseman and is genuinely dedicated in me, as a rider. He has said many valuable things, but there is one saying that really puts things into perspective for me. It went something like this: “What do good riders do? They don’t chip. They may get deep or long, but they don’t miss. Sit down and make the distance work. Get 3rd in the class with an okay distance, that’s better than nothing with a chip.”

Chloe: Well said! Is this Jack character single? ... What is one thing you would want people to know about you and/or Casallo?

Erin: I’m not kidding when I say he eats his hay net All. Day. Long. He also likes Swedish fish (or anything else you want to give him) and is extremely jealous of his brother. He screams every time I take my other horse out to graze.

Chloe:  I am not sure why Andrea didn't just use ME as the official spokeshorse, but thanks anyway for helping her out and being such a great PG fan. In closing, because I have to ask, what is your favorite Hoof Hi-Lites color?
Erin: Sassy Silver for Casallo and Gimme Gold for Cascadini.

A huge THANKS to Erin for taking the time for this interview as I know she has a very busy schedule over the next few weeks!  I met Erin over a year ago in the context of finding the perfect local PG horse rep to launch my new brand. I knew Casallo would be THE perfect choice, but I didn't know what to expect from Erin. I can honestly say that from the very first email she has always been very modest, appreciative, generous and sincere. I have enjoyed watching her success throughout the year and I look forward to cheering her and Casallo on over the next few weeks at Indoors via the livestream footage, where despite what Chloe may say, they will look the perfect size and pair! Go TEAM PG!! xoxo-Andrea

Help... Chloe has ants in her pants :)

Friends! Please help!! This past week or so I have been sabotaged by ants!! Andrea thinks it is all the rainy weather we have had in NC lately, but I think it may be Chase trying to take over as the permanent face of Pony Glam! My beautiful dancers legs are swollen and scabby from the bites! I cannot go out in public like this - I even missed NY Fashion Week! Please help me!!!!!

Anyone have any suggestions for not only preventing these ant infestations but also treating Chloe?? We have been spraying the fields and paddocks but those suckers just keep coming back! We have never had ants like this! I think Chloe may be in the home stretch because the bumps from the bites are coming to the surface and scabbing but it has not been a fun process for anyone at the barn, Chloe included! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!! xoxo Andrea

And the Fall 2012 PG Spokespony is...

So I guess Chase is cute, for a pony. He has the dark and handsome part down. Just a little short for my taste..especially when I am wearing my Gucci heels. I really hope he is ready for all the fanfare he is going to receive this Fall, when he takes over my role as the Pony Glam spokeshorse! At least it will keep the Pony Paparazzi off my tail for a few months! Enjoy your new role Chase...and don't get too comfortable! I will be back!!!! - Chloe


CONGRATS to Chase and his owner/rider, Ellie. Pony Glam is really excited to send Chase Hoof Hi-Lites so that he can not only represent our brand in and out of the show ring, but also keep his hooves healthy and fabulous. Did we mention that Chase has the cutest white heart on his rump? He was destined to be a PG model! 

Thanks to all the entries and PG support! It means the world to us! All the FINALISTS will receive a can of Hoof Hi-Lites of their choice!  xoxoPG

Chloe's First Jumper Show!

Hi friends!!! As you may know, Andrea finally let me be a Jumper a few weeks ago. I mean, how many years of tail swishing does a horse have to do before these humans get it? Of course I still like to swish a tail now and then, but it is generally right into Andrea's eye when she is walking by me and AC is not looking. So far, I have to admit, I really like being a Jumper. Things happen so fast in the arena that Andrea does not have time to agonize about the course and that means that I can just take over the show...like find all my own spots. Phew because that girl can take you to the very base of a 3'3" foot oxer like no other!

You may have read in People Magazine that over the weekend they took me to my first Jumper show. It was Andrea's too and she kept saying she had to "vomit". I am not sure what that means but I could tell she really wanted to lay down in her stall and not eat her hay. In a rare act of kindness I decided that I should try to act calm and cool, so as to not really have her lose her mind. After all, I needed her to be somewhat aware of what was going on since I had yet to step into the arena, there were some pretty strange obstacles in there and on top of it all I could smell a lot of weird animals nearby! AC put me on the longe-line and I yawned and barely moved in the circle.  That seemed to calm Andrea down.

I was in the first class before I knew what hit me. I kept hearing AC remind Andrea that it was our "warm up" class, so I figured I better keep everyone on their toes and do the fan favorite "Stop At The First Jump". There were way more horses and spectators than I thought there would be, so I wanted to be memorable. My stopping is few and far between, so I like to make it really dramatic when I do it. I saw the first jump about 10 strides away and decided to start stopping then. Andrea growled and kicked me really hard, but she is no match for me! On the second time to the jump I cleared it and did the rest of the warm up class really well on purpose as I didn't want AC too mad at me.

Well horse friends, I learned my lesson with that stopping business! In my next class, I tried that same move again and these little spiky things nailed me in the sides! If that were not bad and embarrassing enough, something whacked me on the rump! Didn't they know that my new boyfriend, Josh, who I met at the ingate was watching?! They didn't need to tell me twice! I jumped the next 50 fences clear, fast and did every turn I was asked to on a dime!  Of course I made sure to jump most of the obstacles as big and round as possible. It is a good trick to do because you can't get in trouble for it and sometimes, if you are lucky, you can unseat your rider.

All in all, I really like being a Jumper. I got to wear fancy fleece and leather boots which make my lean dancer's legs look even more shapely. In Jumpers you get to go fast and no one cares if you want to throw a head shake in there. The classes are over in the morning and you don't have to stand around all day watching the little ponies do drive bys, although that is kind of fun sometimes. I didn't have to get my dang mane pulled before the show. I got to wear Bella Blue Hoof Hi-Lites, which got noticed by some cute boys, including Josh. That reminds me, did you know that I am the inspiration behind Hoof Hi-Lites and Pony Glam? ...

Thanks to AC Jones and First Call Farm for preparing me above and beyond for our first show in over 3 yrs and our first ever Jumper show! Also, you were right and I should have listened to you before the warm up class when you TOLD me to put on spurs!!! Oopsie!

I am so proud of Chloe. I wish I had pictures and videos so that you all could see what a rock star she was! It has been a long 3 years, but well worth all the tears and setbacks! The best part is that she really, truly, loved every second of being in the arena... and Chloe only loves potato chips (which she was too tired to even eat after the show)!  My favorite part had to be trotting out of the ring after the Jump Offs, on the buckle, Chloe's head long and low, and hearing people from the sidelines say "what a lovely Hunter she would also make".
