Catherine Haddad's Christmas Picks
December 12, 2009
 Still undecided what to give your loved ones for Christmas? US dressage rider, Catherine Haddad, helps out with some great holiday gift suggestions.
Catherine, who is based with her International Dressage stable in Vechta, Germany, reccomends the following:
Medicinal Mushrooms. I come from a family of healers and doctors so it’s natural for me to want to give the gift of health to my friends and family. Mushrooms have been used in the treatment of many diseases for thousands of years in China and Japan. They are powerful anti-oxidants and immune modulators and have been proven to reduce the size of tumors in cancer patients. Because they also alleviate inflammation, oxidative stress, and nervous tension, they are an effective non-doping supplement to enhance equine performance. Buy for your human, equine and canine friends!

 Designer Bridles. I worked together with Schockemoehle Sports last summer to develop a new line of bridles. Made from top quality English leather to my design specifications, they are available in cob and warmblood sizes, black and brown leather. The perfect gift for your horse or your horsey friend! Ask for the “Cadillac” double bridle or the “Michigan” snaffle.

Discounts for online orders of €100 or more.
Leather Handbags. I’m mesmerized by the beauty of Luc Childeric’s leather hand bags and travel bags! Available in a vast array of styles and colors, these items offered by France’s renowned saddle maker are the perfect gift for a special friend. Impeccable workmanship, top quality leather and timeless taste are combined to produce a gift that says it all. Buy one for yourself and don’t leave home without it!

 P!NK Funhouse. I love this album. I’m in awe of PINK’s musical ability and I can’t wait to see her in concert. I’m gifting this CD to all my young nieces and nephews this year. Available at all music stores and amazon.com. Click on this youtube link to see just how PINK crazy I am.
A live repeat coming soon…
