SARAH: At SmartPak, we have riders in every department of the company.
(SOUND EFFECTS)
We also have a few non-riders in the mix, and that makes things interesting.
JARED: Don't they hate this when it's in their mouth?
KRISTINA: Ummm. Not really.
SARAH: So we decided with this new video series to see what happens
when non-riders and horse products mix.
EVAN: These are...
...very pretty.
MATT: They're pretty.
KRISTEN: Ahhh, it's pretty.
KENT: They're so cute!
TY: Kinda small.
EVAN: Definitely a hot Christmas item this year.
BRAD: Ohhhh, little jeweled cat collars.
KRISTEN: Does it connect...?
No.
BRAD: Because 83%
of horse owners have cats.
DINA: Straps, so you don't lose your stirrups or something like that?
SARAH: Why would they come in pairs if they're cat collars?
BRAD: Well because they have two cats!
KENT: They feel light enough they should go on the rider,
but I guess they go on the horse,
because I've been wrong about everything so far.
BRAD: I'm thinking that you're not liking that answer?
SARAH: I like it. It's just not right.
KRISTEN: Is this somehow related to this part of their face?
EVAN: It's to tie something on the bridle with.
BRAD: These darling little blingy things go on the forelegs of a horse...
KENT: Two and three year olds would love these,
and they would find endless uses for them.
BRAD: ...to dress it up a little bit for those special events...
EVAN: I've tied one of these before.
BRAD: ...like New Year's Eve.
TY: Definitely not going around a horse's mouth.
SARAH: These go on the rider. EVAN: They go on the rider!?
TY: On the rider?
EVAN: I have no idea what these are then.
MATT: No, it's for humans? It's not a choker?
TY: No one's going to wear this around their neck. That seems weird.
But where would they wear it? Too small for a waist.
KRISTEN: A very small belt.
EVAN: Infant-sized Western bling belt.
SARAH: Too small for your waist.
MATT: This is, uh, not a bracelet.
KRISTEN: It's not a bracelet.
BRAD: These special little blingy things go on the wrists of the rider...
EVAN: They keep your heels raised - no! Your heels down.
BRAD: ...to dress up their outfit...
KENT: Obviously there's two, so I would assume they go on an appendage.
BRAD: ...for special events like New Year's Eve.
KENT: Do they hold up something?
"Sort of." That's helpful.
SARAH: It holds something on to your boots.
MATT: The stirrups.
KRISTEN: Holds...the stirrups on?
SARAH: Strapping you into the stirrups would be very dangerous.
KRISTEN: No that would be bad. That would be dangerous.
EVAN: Do they have to do with your stirrups or boots?
MATT: Is it for your boots?
KRISTEN: Holds their boot?
BRAD: They could go around my boots or ankles...
TY: I'm actually stumped on this one.
BRAD: ...to make it possible for a trainer to see whether or not I am putting my feet
in the right position.
EVAN: They hold your boots to your pants.
SARAH: Oh, I like that. That's not what they're for.
BRAD: Not what they're for.
SARAH: Is that a problem for you?
KRISTEN: Holds the reins on their hands? SARAH: Also pretty dangerous.
BRAD: But I'm getting closer right?
KRISTEN: Chin strap! Is it a chin strap!?
EVAN: It keeps your pants in your boots?
SARAH: The helmet has a chin strap... KRISTEN: But this is not it?
DINA: Not stirrup...um, spurs. Sorry, spur straps. That's what I meant to say.
SARAH: This might be an item you're familiar with cowboys wearing.
MATT: Cause I'm familiar with so many cowboys.
TY: Oh, the little...channel thingy's at the end?
I always thought they were just a fashion statement.
I didn't really think they had a real meaning for them.
KENT: Spur straps, ah! SARAH: They hold spurs on.
KENT: Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. SARAH: So, not necessarily 'up.'
KENT: So, 'sort of' was kinda close.
BRAD: I mean, are these real amethysts in here?
SARAH: Amethysts are purple.
KENT: Look at the little bedazzling.
TY: They're a little shiny.
KRISTEN: I think it's not over the top. I like it.
TY: I don't know if I, personally, would wear it.
BRAD: I love the bling.
TY: Not my type of bling.
BRAD: Boy, I would feel very lucky if I had spurs that were attached
with spur attachers this pretty.
SARAH: Spur straps. BRAD: Spur straps. There you go.
EVAN: They don't make boots with spurs on them anymore.
SARAH: That used to be a thing? EVAN: Back in the cowboy ages.
SARAH: Built-in spurs? EVAN: That's how I always envisioned them
(laughing)
SARAH: No. That is not accurate.
What do cowboys wear on their boots?
MATT: Oh! The...
spikes!
(laughing)
SARAH: Spurs. MATT: Spurs!
SARAH: These are spur straps.
MATT: There's nothing spiky about them.
Oh, this holds them in!
I thought they were spiking them with those flowers.
That's pleasant!
