Tips To Measure Horse Rugs Accurately

By Cornelia White


For people who own an equestrian animal, it is only appropriate to pick the best horse rugs that they can use in the stable. Remember that these animals live outdoors. While they may have a natural coat that can the weather, it is still appropriate to get them a rug to provide extra protection. This should help keep them safe.

To those people who are concerned with their animals, they should make sure that the rug they chose are really fitted properly for their animal. The proper fitting of the rug is important to an animal's safety and comfort. Get the right measurement for the said rug. Here are several steps to get the measurement for this item.

The first thing that the person will need to do is to hold the measuring tape properly. Approach the animal only when it is relaxed. To know if the said animal is already relaxed, it should be standing naturally. Such times can be observed when the animal is in its stall eating or when it is in the cross-ties.

Stand near the front shoulder of this animal. The measuring tape will then have to be placed at the starting point for the measurement. It must be easier if the owner uses the left hand to measure. The measuring tape's end should be placed at the center of this animal's chest, directly under its neck.

This will be the point for the first measurement. Extend the measuring tape to this animal's side until it is not able to extend any more. Once the person has finished with the measurement, one should then remember to take note of the measurement that one can get out of the said tape. This will be the first measurement.

From this point, the person should then extend the said measuring tape. It should be extended along the animal's side, just before the measuring tape reaches the tail. The person should then note the measurement at approximately ten to 12 inches right below the point when the top of the animal's tail begins.

Remember to add the two measurements together. This is so that a person can obtain the right sizing for the animal's blanket. The blanket sizes usually come in two-inch increments, they can range from 64 inches for ponies to 84 inches for draft horses. If the measurement of one's animal falls between a 75, then pick the size 76 for the rug.

The owner should also pay close attention to the warnings and tips that come with this. A good example is on the selection of the right size for the rug. If the rug is too big, it will slip off the animal's body and pose a risk when its legs get tangled in it. If it is ill-fitting, rubs and sores will appear.

Do not hesitate to ask another person to hold the other end of the measuring tape, at the front of the animal. This is so that the person does not need to stop midpoint. This also makes it possible to get an accurate measurement. A soft measuring tape is less difficult to flex so one can easily get the right measurements necessary for buying the best horse rugs.

Upcoming Trends In The Musto Shirt Line

By Cornelia White


The fashion weeks falling during the last four months of each year give fashionistas an idea of what to expect from trends in the coming year. This makes New York Fashion Week one of the most important events for predicting what will fill the stores in the months to come. This year's spring and summer collections brought sleek silhouettes and graphic patterns to the fore, which are aspects that will be seen on the Musto shirt range of the moment.

Formal wear for men has received a dressing down through floral, checked and striped prints. They are not only finding themselves onto shirts, but blazers too. Jackets are primarily double breasted and worn with slim trousers. Shirts are tailored to bring an elegant touch to this casual aesthetic, with two toned shoes and contrasts adding a laid back look to the style.

Men who enjoy adding a wilder edge to their ensembles will be able to mix some spicy prints into their trousers. The runways saw crazy prints in vivid shades. Pineapples, florals, and plaid were all found on pants. When these are worn with monochromatic jackets and shirts, they need a dash of color to be introduced through boldly shaded belts and accessories.

There is plenty of room for men who prefer a minimalist look. White on white suits that paired ivory with titanium and cream were seen. The idea is to make sure that every part of the ensemble is a different shade of monochrome. Even belts and shoes follow suit. Texture can be added through translucent tops, opaque weaves, and satin fabrics.

Trousers have been getting shorter and shorter since the beginning of the year and this coming season will continue the trend. The look is becoming ever more brave, with hems reaching just below the knee. Suit trousers can be worn mid-calf with suits, creating a clam-digger effect that is far more extreme than what was seen during the previous year. Whether they are wearing formal clothing or casual, hems can be rolled up high above ankle length.

Blocks of color are being seen on every style of shirt. They are introduced in the form of diagonal or horizontal lines or on collars. Classic patters such as checks are still in style, as are polka dots. All these prints can be worn on trainers, suit jackets and man bags.

Utility wear has been extended to include streetwear accessories. Man bags, head phones, and camera straps have been transformed from practical items to trendy accessories. This year, there is no utility item that can be carried without a thought towards how it looks with one's outfit. The fashion-obsessed will be replacing their consumer items with those that serve their look more effectively.

Vivid colors are being mixed together in a noticeable way. Blue and red are paired together, and so are grey and pink. Indigo seems to be the most important shades for the year again, but camouflage prints have come back too. Musto shirt ranges will reflect all these looks in collections to suit both the trendy and the timeless dressers.

Reducing The Stress Of Relocation

By Madeleine Glazier


Even if you are moving from your current home to a home just one mile away, the process of moving is never easy. Add several hundred miles between your old and new homes, and you definitely add more stress to the process. A long-distance move includes all the typical chores of any move as well as a few extras such as trying to become familiar with a new city quickly. If you are planning a big move, check out the following hints to simplify the process.

As soon as you know you are moving, make a big list with all of the tasks you need to accomplish. For a long-distance move, this means you need to get all of your medical records copied and all of your prescriptions will need to be transferred. You also need to get veterinary records and school records copied or sent to the new school. You also need to make a list of things you need to return, such as items you borrowed from neighbors and library books.

While a local move might not cost too much, a longer distance move definitely comes along with a higher price tag. To lessen the costs, get rid of some of your items before you move. The less you move, the less it costs, so give away clothes, furnishings and other items that you really don't want anymore. Look at this process as an opportunity to live a more clutter-free life. Hold a yard sale and sell your items which can help you partially cover the expense of moving.

Do some research about the place to which you will be moving, especially if you are completely unfamiliar with this new area. There are many helpful websites that can help you find great schools, doctors and information about various communities where you might wish to buy a house. Check out every site from Trip Advisor to Wikipedia to help you find out facts about this new home. Even Google Maps can help you find out where there are grocery stores, drug stores and other helpful local businesses in relation to your new home.

Finding a great realtor can definitely make relocation easier. Your real estate agent should be an expert in finding home in the general area you want. For example, the staff at 1stInSite.com has been helping match their clients to homes in Alameda County and Contra Costa County for years. They can help you find a city and a home that truly meets the needs of you and your family. They can help you find Walnut Creek homes for sale, Alamo homes for sale, Danville homes for sale, Orinda homes for sale and homes in many other East Bay cities.

Prior to meeting your real estate agent, it is wise to type up a list that includes what you are looking for in a new home and your new area. After all, you are probably unfamiliar with the cities in this new area, but you do know that you want an area that is family-friendly or perhaps a home close to your workplace. You might prefer a city setting or you might want something that feels more like a small town. In addition, you also have needs and wants in regards to the actual home you choose, such as having a three-car garage or four bedrooms.

By Harriett Crosby


A basic 48 hour emergency kit is something every family should have. They should contain items like food to eat, water to drink and custom knives for protection and cloths.

You should plan for these supplies to last you and your family for at least 48 hours or 2 days. Often there are local, state, and federal government agencies around to help people but they may not get to everyone immediately. They may reach you in just a few hours or in several days.

It is also important that you plan your kit without having common conveniences. Often the basic services people take for granite like electricity, gas, phone, water and sewage treatment may not be working. They could be off for several days so your kit should reflect this possibility.

Planning the food can be a little harder. Typically granola or oatmeal bars make good high calorie foods. Mixed nuts and fresh honey are items that seldom spoil when stored for long times. Canned tuna or chicken is nice for making quick impromptu meals. Oats, dried beans and jerky are nice for filling out meals. A bag of hard candies, tootsie rolls and pops and gum is good for making snacks.

By Lyndon Zerna


Many people daydream of cruising, racing, or simply enjoying life on the water. With a boat that really matches you and your requirements, this is a great life. A helpful St. Petersburg FL marina business can help you make that vision a reality.

By defining the vision, you will create a yardstick to use for choosing that perfect vessel. While you might like to sail, it is possible that motoring is a better match for your envisioned lifestyle. You will be much happier if your final choice is ideally suited to living out your dream.

If you are no longer young and spry, a motorboat might be a better choice: yachting is hard physical work. Also, being dependent on the winds might be just too limiting for what you want to do. Your vision must also take the practicalities into account.

The weather always plays a huge part in choosing a boat. Handling sails in freezing conditions is not part of any dream situation, while sailing in warm, tropical breezes is a delight. Where you intend doing your sailing is a very important consideration, especially if you intend living aboard.

Should you opt for a catamaran, this would provide a huge deck area for entertaining. The motion while at sea is also much easier.
