Knock Offs Vs. Inspiration

Here at Lisa Nelle Show Clothing we take great pride in all of our designs and efforts to make our customers look glamorous in and out of the ring. So when we come across other "show clothing designers" that are clearly using our designs as their own, it really grinds our gears. It is one thing to be inspired by fellow designers and its another thing to blatantly copy someone else's work. 

Here's a lesson to those copycats out there...

This is an example of inspiration. We saw an ad in the Equine Chronicle featuring a beautiful jacket by Showtime Show Clothing and immediately fell in love with the blue and green ombre tones. This is how we were inspired...

Now that you've seen what it looks like when a designer is inspired by another designer's work, we'd like to show you what a knock off looks like. We do not wish to promote the businesses that steal our designs so we will refrain from listing their company names.

We're flattered that these "designers" are so in love with our work. However when other companies steal our designs and claim them as their own it cheapens the whole idea of showmanship. Copycats are not designers, they're thieves, and to top it off we find many of these poorly made knock offs priced higher than our original designs. 


As always we value your feedback and would like to know what you think about these copycat designers, comment below with your thoughts. 

Too cute not to post

I found this poem online (I did not write it nor am I taking credit) and I wanted to share it with my readers.

Horses, they bring such joy, 

Horses, they’re like oversized toys.

Horses, they make the world go ‘round, 

Horses, they make the best sounds.

Horses, they hardly ever miss a beat, 

Horses, they’re always so sweet.

Horses, they give us freedom in life, 

Horses, they show us beauty and strife.

Horses, they’re the closest thing to perfection, 

Horses, they’re full of action.

Horses, they’ll be a girl’s best friend, 

Horses, they’ll be there til the end.

Horse Tips for a Safe 4th of July

• Keep you firework festivities as far away from your horses as possible.
• Don’t ride your horse(s) while fireworks are being used.
• Keep your horses together and in a familiar place.
• Place cotton balls (or cotton wool) inside horses’ ears to block loud 4th of July fireworks noises.
• Play soothing music for your horses while the fireworks are going on
• If your horse is new to you and you don’t know how he/she will react to the loud noises, consult your veterinarian about a giving your horse a sedative to keep them asleep while all the festivities are going on outside.
• Make sure you check on your insurance to see if you will be covered should there be any horse related damages or if you horse gets hurt due to the fireworks somehow.

Always be prepared, not unlike people horses can startle very easily and its up to you to keep them calm and safe during this stressful time. 

We would like to wish everyone a safe and Happy 4th of July!!

Quick & Easy Tips to Prepare Yourself for a Horseshow

For western competitions such as Western pleasure or Western horsemanship, always wear an outfit that makes you and your horse stand out. When your saddle coordinates with your outfit it makes for lovely display that the judges will take notice of.

For a local show, a button up western shirt, nice show pants, boots, and a belt may be very acceptable. But for more competitive shows, everyone will be wearing more elaborate garments such as the horsemanship clothing we sell on our website.

• If your budget will not allow you to make these purchases, as long as your outfit compliments yourself as well as your horse, then you have nothing to worry about.
• Dark colors on light horses, and lighter colors on dark horses tend to draw more attention to them. You want to attract the right attention during the competition.
• It's not recommended to wear an all-black outfit in the show ring. Most of your competition will also be wearing it and you will want to stand out among everyone else. A deep purple or midnight blue is a great alternative.
• If you are confident in your skills and the skills of your horse, try drawing a bit of extra attention with a brightly colored shirt
• You want to stand out from the rest of the competitors. 
• Always have your hair up, make sure to get all fly-aways before showing. 
• For more competitive shows, all hair should absolutely be under your helmet, or tight into a neat, tight bun in a hairnet at the back of your head, just barely below your hat or helmet.
• Lastly; Have fun! Your horse feeds off your energy and if you are stressed then he/she will be too. 

I hope these tips were helpful. We are always excited to hear feedback from our readers so leave us a comment if you enjoyed reading these tips. We would love to hear from you! 

Rider Humor

I saw this meme the other day and I couldn't help but laugh. The statement couldn't be more true. As a rider you always want the best of the best for you and your horse. This goes for the ladies as well as the fellas. 

Heatwave tips that will keep your horse happy this Spring

I don't know about you but so far Spring in Los Angeles has been pretty hot. It's been reaching almost 90 degrees (Fahrenheit) in some parts of the city. The heat not only affects us but it affects our horses. Here are some simple ways to keep your horse happy during a heat wave. 

1. Water - Always make sure you have plenty of water available for your horse at all times. Keep an eye out for bugs and mosquitoes. Not unlike us horses are less likely to want to drink if there are a bunch of bugs in the water.
2. Shade - Have a large enough area of shade for your horse to relax in when it starts to get too hot. 
3. Electrolytes - Horses lose electrolytes while they sweat. Replenish salt loss during excessive sweating with a suitable electrolyte supplement
4. Ventilation - When possible, leave barn doors and windows open and install misting fans near each stall if you can. 
5. Baths - Bathe your horse! He/She will love you for it. Nothing feels better then having a nice cold bath on a hot day. 
6. Coat Care - Keep your horses mane and tail trimmed. Apply a zinc oxide sunscreen to pink noses to help prevent sunburn. There are shampoos available with UV protection added to help protect your horses coat. 

These tips will keep your horse happy and when your horse is happy, then you are happy.
