Not being able to answer all your questions in videos on Instagram, we decided to compile all your questions to answer them as best as possible right here.
Are you present at competitions?
We are sponsoring the St Orens TDA Excellence Grand Prix event this weekend and will have a stand at the Cholet Jumping taking place on Sunday April 7 (Hipprodome de Clément), we would be delighted to see you there if you are nearby!
Do you have fly masks? Summer is coming, and so are the flies…
Indeed, some of you in the south are already lucky enough to have the arrival of a big, beautiful sun but also the inconveniences that go with it, like flies for example.
Here is our link to masks to protect your horse's eyes from these nasty beasts!
For our part, we have chosen the Kentucky model for our horses. We love it because it doesn't rub against the horses' eyes and stays in place thanks to its stretch material.
For horses with eye problems, the Equilibrium is also really great. Tested and approved by many of our riding friends.
Could you sell some Le Sabotier stuff? Otherwise I love your upholstery!
Thank you very much, this really goes straight to our hearts <3 Regarding Le Sabotier, we are really seduced by the brand and its products, so why not in the future yes :)
Do Stable Boots have the same effect as rest bands?
On paper, yes, Stable Boots have the same effect as rest bands because they provide a restraining effect on the horse's limb and maintain it after an effort. They can also be used on horses for transportation.
However, resting bands properly installed by a professional often have a more beneficial effect than stable boots because they provide better support for the fetlock and adjust the tension of the band to better support the horse's fetlock, etc.
BUT… because there is a but, the rest bands are not always well put in place and the effect can then be much more harmful than beneficial (band folds, too tight or not tight enough…) and the effect can then be really negative.
I therefore prefer to recommend stable boots to riders in a hurry and/or novices who will thus be able to provide maximum comfort to their mount without the slightest risk.
For owners, stable boots can also be more easily removed by stable staff in the morning and thus prevent the horse from remaining in straps for too long.
This is not a question but are you really the best saddlery? <3
You know how to make us have a good weekend <3
Do you have the pine green Pénélope rug?
This is in fact part of our order, so we are waiting for it to return to stock so that we can share it with you: ) In the meantime, the burgundy is waiting for you ;)
Do you have plum colored hats?
Not really plum but rather burgundy, from the Paddock Sport brand, plum (rather leaning towards eggplant) is very difficult to find from our suppliers but we don't despair ;)
What color for a white horse? Ps I love you <3
Already a very very big THANK YOU to everyone for your daily words of love which really warm our hearts. We don't know how to return the favor! Even if it is sometimes difficult to respond to everyone, thank you thank you thank you!
For a white horse I love navy rugs/royal blue border, burgundy and black/red border. I hope this can help you in your choices :)
What set for a fjord pony? Ps: I love you
Thank you so much lananougat, it’s absolutely adorable.
For a fjord, the GEM Hélio (black caramel border could be really superb), the navy/champagne/burgundy from the Jump'In brand too or the black carpet/natural braid from the Paddock Sports brand.
Can we buy it or the Pénélope Collection grooming bag?
Unfortunately this one is currently out of stock, but be patient, it will come back!
Can the Hit Air airbag be worn in the rain?
It can in fact be worn in rainy weather, the important thing being to let it dry thoroughly after use.
Palomino horse, what color other than apple green, blue and red?
I would wear taupe colors, like taupe/champagne/navy from the Jump'In brand.
What color for a bay?
Honestly there is almost no color that does not suit bay horses.
So you can dare anything!
What are the best colors for an isabelle horse?
I love shades of chocolate, taupe, beige, black and brown for horses with isabelle coats.
How did you come up with the idea for the concept and name?
We were rather disappointed with the offers we had on the internet when we were looking for equipment for our horses.
So we asked ourselves what we think would be the ideal proposition for riders today. Nothing is ever perfect but we try to improve our services every day to offer you the best in the future <3
For the name, we were in the car and looking for a name for the page dedicated to our horses. The name Ohlala ended up falling, for whom, why, no idea but ultimately it's the one we chose because it amused us. And the adventure was launched!
Having then launched the saddlery, we therefore decided to decline the name.
Would you recommend horse-sized German reins?
The Jump'In and the Pénélope Store. The Pénélope Store have a super soft material in hand.
Which shock absorber do you recommend? Apart from the GEMs.
The Kentuckys are absolutely great, for small budgets, the Riding Worlds are at a more than attractive price.
Do you have cut gray/white Pénélope Leprévost rugs?
Unfortunately no :)
Any pants to recommend?
The Push Up Pants are really great, I use them myself. In Harcour, the Jalisca, the brand's best seller, is great value for money. For young girls and young women who are rather thin, the Jump'In models are also very interesting!
The next brand on sale at your store? (Otherwise, well done, I love it)
What brands will you be bringing in soon?
The next brand is currently being tested with us, because we like to test the products directly on our horses to be able to advise you best during your future purchases. We therefore prefer to keep this secret for the moment since if we did not add it it would be explained by the fact that we were not convinced by the products.
Which of your rugs last the longest?
We remove products from the site that do not seem to us to be in line with what we are looking for for ourselves and fair from a quality/price point of view. We ourselves would not like to receive products that deteriorate too quickly. To last over time, we find that Jump'In, recognized for their quality, lasts very well over time :)
Will Kentucky brand Lucky Charms be available soon?
In fact, we should add them to our next order! :)
What colors for a chestnut magpie?
I would go with navy, chocolate, taupe or burgundy bases. You can then play with the details as you wish!
Do you have an “Insta Pony”?
Indeed, we also have an Instagram and Facebook section which allows you to follow the progress of our three horses, Dakota de la Malouine, Dolce EDS and our 5-year-old stallion, Eclair de Rouhet. If we don't have time right now to keep our Instagram account up to date, Facebook is updated more regularly.
Is it real fur on the Pénélope Store jackets?
No, all Pénélope Store jackets have faux fur.
Cross-country gaiters to recommend?
We particularly like the Kentucky cross gaiters, which we find extremely light and yet very protective for the limbs of our dear companions.
A shock absorber that’s not too expensive?
Riding World shock absorbers, at a very low price, are very interesting for riders looking for a model with a nice look and a low price.
Is the Pénélope Store duck blue rug still available?
Unfortunately no, victim of its success, it is for the moment (to our great misfortune!), no longer available from us. We know you're looking forward to it, don't worry it's coming back ;)
Will you work with the Equick brand?
This is not planned at the moment, but why not in the future.
Do you have Veredus gaiters and if so at what price?
No, we do not distribute the Veredus brand :)
Your favorite rugs?
I am absolutely a fan of the latest Cavalleria Toscana rugs that we have just received, for competition purposes I find them absolutely sublime.
What color for a black horse?
A black base rug with an outer border in a bold color (electric blue, red, caramel, etc.)
A hat to go with the Pénélope Leprevost Bordeaux rug?
The Paddock Sport burgundy hat is exactly the same color as the Pénélope Leprevost burgundy rug.
How much is the Pénélope Store burgundy rug?
Like all Pénélope rugs, this one is 95 euros :)
What rug would go well with navy blue pants?
The navy/champagne/burgundy Jump'In Rug would match very well with navy blue pants like the Push Up Flags&Cup, the mixed Jump'In or the Pénélope Store Point Sellier.
What light gray carpet do you have?
In addition to the Paddock and Jump'In rugs, we have the Harcour rugs from the new Spring Summer 2019 collection, in a very light gray. The Carson and Vacaville model really look great.
Do you have the dark Paddock Sport mat?
What color for gray, apart from black, brown and white?
Navy in all its forms (burgundy, red, electric blue borders), but also plum, burgundy and lagoon blue.
What rug do you have at a reasonable price for a bay horse?
