NEW For Spring!

Spring is finally making itself felt here at Whitman's.  Vermont (and most of the US, it seems) had a long, cold, snowy winter, so seeing the first crocus, the first daffodil or the first flush of green buds on the trees is especially welcome.

We also have some new "spring things" in stock. Berry bushes and canes:

 
 
Strawberry plants:

  
Onion sets: 


 
 
Cold-tolerant plants like Pansies
 
 
 
and lettuce:
 
 
 


We have seeds in bulk


 
or in packets.
 
 
And our chick orders are starting to arrive!  (The reddish cast in the photo is from the heat lamps the chicks are under - they need to be kept warm.)
 


 
 
We also have new stuff upstairs in the tack shop!  Riley polos from Noble Outfitters:
 


 
These are a light-weight technical fabric that wicks moisture and helps keep you cool when the temperatures start soaring. 
 
We also have socks and gloves from Noble Outfitters (more socks on the way).  The socks have a mesh insert over the instep to help keep you cool, and padding in the ankle to minimize the pinch that can happen with some riding boots.  The gloves are cool and comfortable, and - bonus - touch screen friendly!  You can use your phone, tablet or other touch-screen device without having to remove your gloves!
 
 
 
We have a new helmet pattern from Troxel:  the Rebel "Pink Rose".  If you're a matchy-matchy fan, you can see it goes really well with the Noble Outfitters gloves, socks and Viper knife:
 


 
 
We also have some other new colors in our Troxel line:


 
And a line of kids' show coats and shirts from JPC Equestrian.  The Starter jackets are light-weight and washable, and the Kirby shirts are short-sleeved, moisture wicking and have a woven wrap collar that makes a ratcatcher unnecessary:
 
 
We also have new kids' and women's breeches and riding tights from JPC Equestrian, On Course and Tough Rider.  New breeches and paddock boots from Tredstep are on their way! 
 
So take advantage of the longer days and nicer weather to stop by and see what's new here at Whitman's.
