Heart to Horse Box

My March Heart to Horse Box arrived this weekend! I've been pretty impressed with this box so far. I decided to sign up for the monthly delivery rather than just order each month, and by doing so, I saved 10%! My boxes now are $31.49 per month versus 34.99 if I were to opt for a one time purchase.
Heart to horse box is unique in that it includes something for the horse AND something for the rider each month. (Although this month seemed to be more horse oriented.) My favorite part is that 25% of sales each month is donated to a local charity. This month's recipient is the Hooved Animal Humane Society. They are an equine rescue that takes in neglected or abused horses, nurses them back to health, and finds them loving forever homes. Such a great cause!
Here's what was included this month:

This month the "for the rider " aspect was a little weak... we got some coupons. I mean, coupons are great, but they're more like extras. My first month had the best "for the rider" items so far which included gloves and a coffee mug. Month two was a travel case and some socks. This month... coupons. Meh. But they did make up for it with the horse items for sure!

 This month Heart to Horse Box was focused on thinking spring, and what better way than with some grooming essentials! Spring is shedding season after all! Not to mention for many of us it will be our first time back in the show ring since early winter!

Farnam Slick and Easy:
 I haven't used one of these in AGES! I had forgotten all about them! It's basically like a magic eraser for horses. They work great! And you can revitalize them by rubbing on a rough surface like the driveway. Be warned though, it will stink like rotten eggs when you do that...

Grooma Gel Curry:
 Obviously I love this. It's green and heart shaped. What's not to love? I just have to decide which kid is the lucky recipient... or maybe I'll order two more so everybody wins.

Grooma Tail Comb:
 I have a brush/comb like this in my braiding kit already, and love it. I'm going to swap that old one out with this one. Love the pink!

WAHL Pocket Pro Clippers:
 These little clippers are great for touch ups! You know when you are on your way to the ring and realize you missed a whole section of nose whiskers when you were clipping your horse? Yep, that's when these are the best. They're also great for nervous horses because they are much quieter than normal big clippers. And best of all, they are battery operated. Two reasons this is great: a. portability, use them at the ring! And b. no terrifying cord for the horses to be afraid of. (Yes, I'm talking to you Ducky.)
Majesty's Omega Wafers:
You probably can't tell from the photo, but this is a HUGE full sized bag of omega supplements. They are in cookie form, but are indeed a supplement and not a treat. (Thus, don't feed them by the handful.) Omega vitamins are great for digestion as well as helping with a shiny healthy coat. My kids will love these for sure. And there's plenty to go around!
 The extra: Dog Cookies!
 I love that they include a little something for the smaller four leggeds in my life. Many horse people are also dog people, so it only makes sense. It's like when your friend has a second (or third or whatever) child and you make sure to bring a gift for the older one(s) too. I saw on the web site that some people complained about getting these, since it's not a dog box. Frankly, I think that's ridiculous. It's an extra, if you can't use them pass them along to someone who can. Who complains about free stuff?! I think Heart to Horse Box had the same idea as they give several suggestions about what to do with your dog treats if you're not a dog parent.

I really am impressed with this box. You are definitely getting your money's worth, and I love to try new things. The products have all been not only name brand, but also full sized! I hope next month comes with something great geared toward the rider though! Our turn!
