high visibility equestrian wear

I've posted before about some some instances of civilians making funny errors with a niche market like equstrian and cycling sports. I found another one today with a company that makes reflective gear for activities like running and cycling. I think the products are actually really cool, but it's clear they are new to marketing their gear towards horse people: 

 

 

I had to google "spats" to see what they were going for.

And the "necklace" cracks me up.

But hey, great product, so check out Proviz for reflective gear for all your activities!

healthy green recipes for your St Patricks day weekend

I wish I had kids to help me get excited for holidays. I love how the little holidays like Valentine's Day or the 4th of July or St Patrick's Day can be a huge deal to kids. Instead of reaching for the green food dye for your Paddy's Day meal, check out these recipes:

thru hiker trail magic

long bike rides

farmer's markets
