It's that time of year again when I see an uptick in men placing orders for bridles. Initially I am excited that we're seeing a sudden surge in male dressage riders taking up the sport.

But alas, I remember that Valentines day is fast approaching. Though I am saddened that there are still less than 7 male dressage riders in North America, these men buying these bridles are the finest men on the planet. I salute you!

Your wives, husbands, girlfriends, boyfriends and/or future lovers will be impressed. Well done, your valentines day will be a success!
