Conversations through the middle

Life from a (slightly) more mature perspective

A bit of commercialism here…

April 26, 2011

In my day-to-day role as a freelance writer I’m often contacted by PRs who have new products to promote or services to try, and yes, I do take them up on their offers from time to time, usually when I’m writing relevant features. It hasn’t happened to me in my capacity as a horse lover and equestrian blogger, sadly… until now.

I have recently been sent a product for dogs (dogs and horses often go together and I’m no exception, see the cute photos of Spice), which has an unusual purpose – to keep those brown pee spots off your green lawn.

It’s a rock that sits in the dog’s drinking water, and the minerals it contains are supposed to neutralise the effects of urine. It’s harmless to your pet but it just stops your grass going brown and patchy.

Our dog is a tiny creature and has an equally tiny water bowl, so I’ve bought him a big one to try it out (it’s so big he could probably bathe in it). It will be a while before I see results, good or otherwise, but I’ll let you know how I get on.

Now I just need a friendly PR to send me samples of their spring/summer clothing ranges for horse and rider…

I live in the countryside with my dogs and cat, and I love horses, yoga and running (sometimes). Writing is what I do - I've tried other things, but keep coming back to it. And I'm learning to meditate.
