Wine Down Hoof Pick by Noble OutfittersIs it a hoof pick? Well yes, but this is no ordinary hoof pick, in fact, the Noble Outfitters Wine Down Hoof Pick will be residing in my kitchen. And you can win one too! A massive thank you to Noble Outfitters for donating this brilliant product to my Advent Calendar competition. Want to find out more? Of course you do!

Why am I giving away a Wine Down Hoof Pick from Noble Outfitters??

I was sent one of these for my gift guide series and I LOVED it. It arrived in its super start packaging and I thought it looked like fun, but it’s not a gimmick. It’s brilliant! It’s incredibly well made and combines wood with stainless steel that has a satin finish. the hoof pick bit is a really good hoof pick.. but the handle is a bit special. There’s a corkscrew and a bottle opener in it! They just unfold and you’re ready to go. Horse with a stone in the hoof? No worries. Bottle of red you can’t open? No problem. Bottle of beer that can’t be opened. You have no need to worry again.

Why do I like the Noble Outfitters Wine Down Hoof Pick?

Well, it’s just brilliant! I like Noble Outfitters and regularly covet the products I hear my friend Emily Mumford from Inkpot & Press talk about as she works with this fab company. The clothing is bang on; I have a First Crush Cowl I love. The accessories have always looked good, but the quality of the Wine Down Pick is great. Honestly. It might look a bit gimmicky, and I guess it kind of is, but the quality is all there and it does everything it’s meant to with style and grace. It’s brilliant.

Annabel Brocks Quilted black Gilet With Natural Collar fIf you follow me on social media, you may have seen the short videos I have been putting out this week with my must-sees at the Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials. In case you missed it, here are some of my top picks… in alphabetical order…

Annabel Brocks– whether you’re looking for luxurious clothes for autumn/winter or fabulous products for some winter sun, Annabel Brocks (in the Lifestyle Pavilion) is a must see. I adore the faux fur head warmers and am kind of looking forward to the winter and when I can wear them again! In addition you’ll find capes made using tweeds, faux suede gilets, kaftans, ponchos and even sun hats! Definitely add them to your list!

Butler Stewart – for tailored tweed, make sure you check out Butler Stewart. For ladies and gents there are off the peg garments as well as Made to Order and the new Made to Measure collection (the latter being launched at Burghley). And if you saw Oliver Townend at the trot on Wednesday, you will have already seen some Butler Stewart in action…

Dogs & Co – Melanie and the team are LOVELY, but more than this, the products are exceptional. I regularly rave about the UniWalker (it’s been a favourite too, but I call it by its old name, the Figure Of Eight), but the rolled leather collars and the brightly colours microfibre ones have also really caught my eye…

Fairfax & Favor – yeah – I love them. I have my eyes on a pair of Explorers as my next purchase but give the Reginas, Drivers and Windsor bag my hearty seal of approval. At the start of Burghley, Fairfax & Favor launched the new Electra velvet Chelsea Boots… and don’t forget the Amiras. The over the knee beauties.

Hiho Silver – for all your equestrian and country jewellery needs, obviously! At the start of Burghley, Hiho launched a new 4 Star solid gold bead with diamonds that fits on the foxtail and Cherry Roller Bangle. The company has also released a special Burghley charm and some other stunning sterling silver, solid gold and gold vermeil pieces. So go and see them.

Lula Bo – I found out about Lula Bo through the lovely Emily and Inkpot & Press… and then drooled over the products. At Burghley, in addition to all of Lula Bo’s other carefully selected products, Clare Shaw’s scarves will be on sale. And they are lovely.

Mackenzie & George – THE place to go for your belt and fedora needs! Mackenzie & George’s Chester Belt was my favourite in a recent vlog, and after seeing Imogen Murray in a felt fedora and feather pin from M&G at the trot up on Wednesday, I want one more than ever now! In addition, Mackenzie & George offers a personalisation service, so you can have your belt or clutch bag personalised with foil or just a simple debossed finish. LOVELY!

Noble Outfitters – a brand I’ve long admired – will be unveiling the new autumn/winter collection. With rich autumnal shades to complement any skin tone, technical prowess for busy people and clever touches too, Noble Outfitters is somewhere I would spend a bit of time!

Rudds Wellies – yep – we all need them – and Rudds Wellies are lovely. They’re made with a special rubber to give them a 12 month no split guarantee, have a super comfy lining, stirrup friendly soles and lots of other features too. You can find them in Rural Craft, which is also where you’ll find Mackenzie & George.

Teddy Edward – since I spoke to Stephen, founder of the brand, for my ‘a few minutes with‘ feature, I have become a teeny bit obsessed with the company’s range of British made products. Combining classic designs that are easy and flattering (amen!) to wear with Great British manufacture, I’m ever so slightly obsessed.
