Letter from the Editor

My horse is a sweater. Not the itchy kind your grandma made you when you were 5. I'm talking about perspiring. Like that guy at the gym who looks as if he's taken a shower with his clothes on (also usually the guy who touches every machine and forgets to wipe them down after he's done). It doesn't matter if it's December here in Massachusetts - where temperatures get far below freezing during the winter - my horse will sweat like it's the fourth of July and I'm making him do endurance training. He's been cleared of any possible medical conditions and he isn't an overly anxious horse, so the sweating seems to just be the way he is.

I ended up buying a Draper quarter sheet last winter because I was cold. You read that correctly; I was so cold during some of my rides that I assumed my big sweaty horse must be cold too. As soon as I realized what I'd done I laughed. How could be giant sweating horse possible survive a workout with a quarter sheet on? Determined to make it work, I tacked him up, quarter sheet placed firmly under my saddle.

To my amazement, sweaty horse wasn't so sweaty! I was careful to check him during our ride to make sure he wasn't too hot (he wasn't), and when I got off, anywhere the quarter sheet sat (including under my saddle) was dry. Part of me thinks I shouldn't have been surprised - the quarter sheets are made with a Celliant®/wool blend that has amazing wicking abilities (I know this because I use my Draper cooler to help wick sweat off my horse post-ride). 

Why am I sharing this story? First, because I love sharing "new" products that i discover with others. You never know when something cool that you found might really help solve a problem for someone else. Anyone with a cold backed horse or living in a cold environment can benefit from wearing a quarter sheet. Second, Thanksgiving is all about sharing, and I want to share Draper quarter sheets with everyone... Which is why Thanksgiving Weekend they will be 20% off (see further down in the newsletter for details!).

Happy Thanksgiving!

Exclusive Offer:

Holiday Spa Package

We all have one - that person on our holiday shopping list who "doesn't need or want" anything, the yankee swap that involves people of both genders and all ages thus making it impossible to find a gift to please them all, the relative that  you never see because he/she lives far away, or a coach or teacher who has been invaluable that you want to give a little something special to; they leave you searching for something, anything they they might actually use and appreciate. Don't worry, we've solved the problem with out Holiday Spa Package! Each package comes with an blue eye pillow, shoulder wrap (either scented or unscented, you choose), a nap blanket, and a pair of socks! Regularly priced at $85, it's already a steal.... But we're offering it to our newsletter subscribers for $70! Now through December 31, use coupon code SPAPAC to get $15 off the Holiday Spa Package and finish off your holiday shopping early and stress free this season!



 

 

 

 
 




 

Testimonial: Patricia J. of Canton MA says...

"I just had to tell you that after wearing the socks for that last week, the pain from my planter facetious has been greatly reduced. More importantly, I was able to lunge my horse for a good 15 minutes Saturday with no pain.  That is HUGE. I was so impressed with the improvement that I gave the other pair to a fellow planter facetious suffer to try and I told her she had to report back on any improvements she felt. You guys have a gold mine in this product!!!!!!  I have paid quite a bit of money trying to find products to alleviate the pain and other than the orthotics, this is the only thing that seems to have any effect. Thanks so much!"

Western New England Professional Horseman's Association Finals

Part of the Draper Therapies Dogma is to give back to our local community (equestrian and otherwise), so, for the second year in a row, Draper has been a proud sponsor of the Western New England Professional Horseman's Association Equitation Finals. We donated the prizes for the Adult Medal Finals, and would like to congratulate this year's winners: Julie Clancy and Shawna Vatter Smith!

  

Giving Back:

Draped in Health Blanket Free Shipping Promotion

This will be the third consecutive holiday season that we have offered free shipping on any order containing a Draped in Health Blanket. Why do we keep doing it? The answer is simple - by giving the gift of wellness in the form of one of our special blankets, we can make a donation to the University of Michigan's cancer research program, and they can give the gift of health to someone else. It's a big circle of gifts, health, and wellness, and we're excited to keep the circle going! So if you're looking to give a gift that looks and feel great but that also makes a difference, consider a Draped in Health Blanket.
