Heart to Horse Box: December

I'm catching up on all the subs today! Heart to Horse Box had a great holiday themed December box! Heart to Horse Box is a horsey subscription that you can order either as a one time box or as a monthly delivery. I opted for the sub since I like presents. You save a little each month that way too. This sub is unique in that it includes something for the horse AND something for the rider each month. My favorite part is that 25% of sales each month is donated to a local charity. This month's charity recipient is Gentle Giants Draft Horse Rescue. They seem to be a favorite as they've been the recipient the last many months.

The information card shows everything included in the box on one side, and has a coupon plus some information about the charity on the other side. I love seeing photos of actual horses who are being helped by the proceeds. Let's see what was in this month's December's box!
For the Horse:
Mrs. Pastures Cookies

 Treats! In an adorable stocking. I love that this was included. I actually gave these out to my horsey friends this year, so I was extra excited to get one back!

Cowboy Magic Green Spot Remover

 This stuff really is magic. I don't currently have a gray horse, but when I did, this was a must have! It still is really since Rio LOVES to get poo on his sock. I can't believe it's full size! What a great thing to get!

Tail Brush

 One can never have too many of these! I love this particular model as I can use it for my hair too. Don't pretend like you don't borrow your horse's tail brush after a particularly sweaty day in your helmet!

For the Rider:
The Noble Outfitters Wine Down Hoof Pick

 Obviously when I discovered this existed I bought it right away. But that doesn't mean a second one is welcomed! Now I can keep one in my show trunk AND one in the truck. Because they aren't always in the same place at the same time.

Horse Hair bracelet making kit

 I keep saying I'm going to send some of Rio's tale hair off to be made into a fancy bracelet. Now I can make my own! I'll probably still have one made that will be much more fancy that I can do, but this should hold me over until then.

Gift bag

This is a really pretty gift bag, and though I did not wind up using it this year for the holidays, one of my friends may end up seeing it at a birthday!

Extra:

This isn't at all useful on its own, but it was actually interesting to see in person. This is a tine for the fancy new pitchfork that Noble Outfitters sells. It's called the wave fork. It's very light weight, and you can pick your colors to build your fork. Supposedly it's very durable and not likely to break, but if it does, you can replace individual tines rather than the whole fork. I haven't yet decided if I'll get one, but the coupon and the sample were a welcome inclusion in the box!

Once again, this was a great box! I didn't do a cost breakdown, but I feel like I really did get my moneys worth again this month. The hoof pick alone retails for 19.99 which is more than half the price of the box.

I already can't wait for January's box! It ships this week... woohoo! If you're interested in trying Heart to Horse Box, head over here and check it out. That's not a referral link. As far as I know they do not have any referral incentives. If they do, someone tell me so I can cash in!

Heart to Horse Box: November

It's been a little while since I've done a Heart to Horse Box review, but I have to tell you, they're getting better each month! Heart to Horse Box is a horsey subscription that you can order either as a one time box or as a monthly delivery. I opted for the sub since I like presents. You save a little each month that way too. This sub is unique in that it includes something for the horse AND something for the rider each month. My favorite part is that 25% of sales is donated to a local charity. This month's charity recipient is Gentle Giants Draft Horse Rescue. They seem to be a favorite as they've been the recipient the last few months.

I was a little worried when I opened the box this month because of those oil spots... I was quite worried something might have spilled all over. But thankfully that was not the case. What it actually was completely surprised me!

Can you guess hat made the oil spots?? Can you??
This:

Yep! That's a real leather lead rope with a nice long chain from Weaver Leather. Seriously this is worth what I paid for the box all on its own. Color me impressed.

 Heart to Horse Box also included a tasty treat for the rider this month. Mmmm chocolates. One could give this is as a gift or bring to a party for the hostess. But I'm just going to stuff them all in my face. 

 This blingy brush is really cute. I may stick this one in the trailer. It's too fancy for at home!

 I was super excited to find these adorable cookie cutters in the box. I'm such a fan of this month's for the rider theme... all snacks all the time! But seriously, these are just in time for holiday cookie making. Horse cookies are festive right?

 Heart to Horse Box usually includes a little extra each month, and this time it was this lip balm. Perfect now that the weather has turned. My lips will be chapped from now until April so this is definitely useful!

On the information card is a photo of Karma who was rescued by Gentle Giant Draft Rescue. I really appreciate that they give us a face that we're helping each month with our purchase! 
This was another great month from Heart to Horse Box. I will use all of the items. I missed reviewing a few boxes, but in one of them was a rope halter with attached lead. This is perfect for working with Romey on the ground. It's like Heart to Horse Box knows exactly what I need sometimes... It's almost creepy! I'm just really impressed with the variety and the quality of what is included each month. I will keep subscribing to this one for awhile!

Heart to Horse Box: August

Heart to Horse Box is a horsey subscription that you can order either as a one time box or as a monthly delivery. I opted for the sub since I like presents. You save a little each month that way too. This sub is unique in that it includes something for the horse AND something for the rider each month. My favorite part is that 25% of sales each month is donated to a local charity. This month's charity recipient is Gentle Giants Draft Horse Rescue. They seem to be a favorite as they've been the recipient the last few months.

This month's box was pretty heavy and I really couldn't wait to see what was inside!

As always, there is an info card detailing the contents of the box. They threw in a few little extras this month that weren't on the card as well. Thanks Heart to Horse Box! I love surprises :)

Extras:

 This little luggage tag is adorable. It's perfect for me too since my luggage is purple! (Purple is a lot easier to see on the baggage carousel than black. Truth!)

Also as a bonus was a sample of Absorbine Botanicals liniment. I've gotten this same sample from my local tack store before, and it's a nice product.

So before I show you the rest of the items this month, I have to pause and exclaim that this was EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED this month! It's like they were following along on my blog with all of Rio's foot woes. Seriously. You'll see.

SyrVet Bandages: $1.43 each

Not one, but TWO rolls of self adhesive bandages. I've been going through about a roll a day for Rio's foot, so this is SO needed!

Hoof Brush: $2.51

I'm not desperate for a hoof brush, but I don't have one, so it's a nice addition to my grooming box. The horses may appreciate my using this rather than their regular body brush on their feet.

Bigeloil Poultice Hoof Pads: $6.29

I definitely could have used these a month ago! They are hoof pads with poultice in them so you don't make a huge mess getting clay all over everything. I'm excited to have these in the medicine box! Hopefully I won't need them for a long, long time.

Animalintex: $7.19

Animalintex is much like that hoof pad above, but it comes in sheets to be used on legs. I actually had been using this cut up into smaller pieces for Rio's foot last month. I used all of mine up, so I'm happy I don't have to go out to replace it now! Thankfully we're done with the poultice stage for Rio.

Tough 1 Cooling Ice Boot: $31.49

The "big" item! This thing is awesome! I mean, I wish it wasn't red, since red isn't our color. But other than that, this is amazing. It's an ice boot! So basically each of those little squares is filled with a gel. You store this in the freezer so the little gel pockets get very cold. Then when you need to ice a leg, you just wrap this bad boy around and you're good to go! It's very flexible and has four straps to hold it in place even if your horse moves around. I've been using a human leg boot for my horses which works ok, but it tends to slide down and doesn't really get tight enough. This will be so much better. Though again, I'm hoping to not need it for a long, long time!

This month's box was probably the most useful I've received so far. It was low on presents for the human (just that little luggage tag really) but the items are amazing! They are exactly the items I've been using all month for Rio's sore foot. And that boot would have been handy last week for Jamp's cellulitis.

The box had a retail value of $50.34 (not including the extras). The ice boot alone was worth the cost of the entire box! This was definitely a great deal. I don't think there's a single thing in this box that I won't use, and that's kind of rare when you get a box of surprises in the mail. Definitely a win this month!

Heart to Horse Box: July

This is easily one of my favorite sub boxes! Heart to Horse Box is a horsey subscription that you can order either as a one time box or as a monthly delivery. I opted for the sub since I like presents. You save a little each month that way too. This sub is unique in that it includes something for the horse AND something for the rider each month. My favorite part is that 25% of sales each month is donated to a local charity. This month's charity recipient is Gentle Giants Draft Horse Rescue. I think they were the recipients last month also.

Roy is one of the rescues from Gentle Giants! I love that they give you a face that they've helped.
Ok, on with the box!

First look... sorry for the terrible photo

For the horse:
Finish Line Apple a Day Electrolytes

This is a nice trial size container! Electrolytes are so important this time of year. My horses already have them built into their meal routine, but if we have another heat wave, I will use this for an extra dose in the morning.

Tough 1 Massage Curry

This has Rio written all over it! We're going to try it out later tonight. I know he'll love it. And with his sore foot, he could certainly use a good massage.

Celebration Spot On bug repellent

This is the only item I am not planning to try. While I do appreciate a good bug repellent that may actually work, the warning on the back made me think this isn't the one for us:

Harmful if absorbed through the skin? Won't that happen when you PUT IT ON THEIR SKIN? It's probably perfectly fine, but between Jamp's allergies and colic episode and Rio's foot problems, I'm going to steer clear of anything potentially harmful. Luck is not on our side this summer!

For the Barn:
Tough 1 Collapsible Bucket

Love this! It's totally going to live in the trailer. I love the idea of a collapsible bucket. It's made of a heavy canvas material. So useful!

For the rider:
Bling Horse Hat

I have a pea sized head and hats never fit me. This one isn't too huge though! And it's ADORABLE!

I didn't do a cost breakdown this month because I'm at work and just got super busy.... Bad Blogger! But without actually running the numbers, I'm still confident I got my moneys worth from this box. The only item this month I won't use is the bug repellent, but the whole point of getting a box like this is to be introduced to new things. So I don't mind if sometimes I don't like everything inside.

Heart To Horse Box: June

 My June Heart to Horse Box arrived while I was showing Jampy in Saratoga. What a great surprise to come home to!
Heart to Horse Box is a horsey subscription that you can order either as a one time box or as a subscription. I opted for the sub since I like presents. You save a little each month that way too. This sub is unique in that it includes something for the horse AND something for the rider each month. My favorite part is that 25% of sales each month is donated to a local charity.This month that Charity is Gentle Giants Draft Horse Rescue.

 The info card tells you which charity will be that month's recipient and usually shows you one of the horses in the rescue too!

First Look

 Ok, let's see what was inside this month!
4 oz Cowboy Magic Detangler and Shine $7.49

 I haven't tried this yet, but I think I'm going to use it on Rio's tale... It's in a bad place my friends... A knotty, poopy, dirty bad place.

12 oz The Original Mane 'N Tail and Body shampoo $3.37

 A tried and true old standby! It definitely is bath season, so I was happy to receive a decent size bottle of shampoo! This one is fairly gentle on the skin, and I've always liked it.

4 oz Noble Outfitters Wound Care $14.99

 Thankfully I haven't needed to use this yet. Having horses is much like having 6 year old boys though, so I'm sure I'll get to try it out at some point in the not too distant future.

Tough 1 3 Piece Wash Kit: $6.74

 Yay! New bath tools! I kind of wish they were green to match my decor, but honestly, they work the same way in any color. And I love purple so... All is well! This set has a scraper, a sponge, and a jelly scrubber. Very useful this time of year!

Shires Hay Net $7.49

 I currently don't have a need for a hay net, but they are definitely good to have around, just in case! So I'll keep this guy in the barn.

Kensington Grooming Tote $14.99

I'm not really a fan of the color red. But I am a HUGE fan of Kensington Products. So I shall pretend it's hunter and tan and enjoy it fully. Just maybe not at horse shows.

All totaled this box had a retail value of $55.07. Since I am a monthly subscriber, I only paid $31.49 for this box. And shipping is free. I think that's a great value for the price. Plus all of the items are useful. The only thing in here I may not use any time soon is the hay net, but I really don't mind having it around just in case. I've been impressed every month with this box, and honestly, I think it's gotten better each month. Keep up the good work Stateline!
