If your competition boots are a bit tighter than your normal riding boots, Coolhorsesocks’ Competition Riding Socks could well be the perfect socks for you.

Made to Coolhorsesocks’ exacting standards, Competition Riding Socks are 48% thinner than the standard lines, meaning that they fit well under tighter boots. The finer gauge yarn reduces thickness in the legs of the socks, whilst the lighter Coolmax padded feet give less volume, but the same great technical features.

The Competition Riding Sock is now available in two great new colourways: Pinks and Earth. These join the existing Blues, Maroonster and Black colours. Competition Riding Socks are available in size 4-7 and 8-11, and prices start from £9.00.

This Eventing season started with Oasby Pony Trial in March with Amber. Amber went well and flew around my cross country inside the time. Next was Lincoln Pony Trial which was over two day, dressage and show-jumping on one day, cross country on the other. Amber show-jumped one of the best she has ever and flew around the cross country even though we had to get held because the girl in front fell. After Lincoln my blue stripy competition socks became my lucky socks. After Weston Park I got selected for Withington and Brand Hall Pony Championships. At all of these events I wore my lucky socks and they worked! She did a good test at Brand Hall and didn’t spook at the flags or tents. She was amazing cross country and went clear and easily inside the time.

After the Pony Trials had finished I then did some BE Events with Flossy and Lila. The first one I did was Stafford and Flossy came 3rd and Lila was 5th. Then I went to Carlton with them both again and Flossy was 10th and Lila 3rd. At Shelford Manor, that was the start of my winning streak. Flossy won Shelford, Solihull and Brooksby Melton one after each other! What a wonderful end to flossy season and the

lucky socks really worked at these three events. The last event of the season was Weston Park International CCNP2* with Amber. She was really good and did a good dressage, clear cross country and just had the last fence down, only one person finished on their dressage so I was really pleased with Amber. She can now enjoy show-jumping and dressage over the winter and then preparing for a busy next season with my lucky socks!

Hello Coolhorsesock fans! My name is Victoria Trafford and I’m an Event Rider based in Leicestershire. The Eventing season is coming to its final runs and 2011 has been a memorable season I’ve had some tremendous highs like completing Chatsworth International on Tina and also gaining 68% in our first ever Elementary dressage test. I was also over the moon about the opportunity to compete abroad however with great highs they are great lows I had a string of bad luck thinking I was going to go and compete in France Tina developed a tooth abscess and once that was cleared she had pulled her back. Due to the amount of light work I didn’t want to take Tina just to ‘make up the numbers’

as I wanted a real crack at the contest so hopefully next year if we get the chance to go she’s being wrapped up in cotton wool. But that’s horses for you my mum would always say they are great levellers! But I’m extremely lucky and for 2012 I’ll have four horses on the circuit including a recently broken in Primmores Pioneer mare and two new additions to the team so watch out 2012!

One thing I couldn’t cope without is having my feet looked after! Coolhorsesock products are fab they keep my toes warm when I need them to be and cool whilst I’m competing. The range of colours will brighten anyone’s mood and are funky to boot I just have to fight the dog to get my hands on them.

So that’s my year wrapped up till the season kicks off again in March but don’t worry I won’t be having a rest I’ve got plenty of training to get done!

Wow what a year, I can’t believe we won’t be seeing another cross country fence till March 2012. Twizzy and I have had a learning curve of

a year with making the step up from BE100 to Novice, which proved slightly more difficult than I first anticipated.

The aim of 2011 was to always make that step up to Novice and with a couple of placings at BE100 and being near that all important optimum cross country we made the decision to move her up a level. Our novice runs haven’t been that successful with slight jockey errors at every event, the most exciting thing after studding the results is that if I had finished on my dressage score at every event I wouldn’t have been out of the top 6!! This leaves me with a very warm feeling inside, knowing that in the winter of 2009 Twizzy would freak out at the sight of a cross pole and feel the need to give it an extra 4ft of air space and now she is flying happily around novice tracks, even with the numpty rider on top, who sometimes points her at the wrong cross country fences.

However I do feel that with the experience we have gained in 2011 and with a good season of winter training behind us, with warm feet of course thanks to the amazing cool horse socks, I feel that we will be able to produce some places at Novice in 2012 and hopefully have our first ever 3 day run at Osberton CCI* in October, Wish us luck.

Inspired by a coffee break chat with my favourite Head Of HR and Compliance Eilidh Cameron we set about creating a sock. When I sent it through for her to see she sent me back an email that tells the story, Eilidh has given me permission to use the mail for your delectation… Please read on by opening the PDF attachment
