Listeners of BBC Radio WM (West Midlands) may have heard our director Judith  live on the ‘Mornings with Joanne Malin’ show yesterday! Joanne had a feature all about wellington boots following their increased popularity over the last few years and BBC WM contacted us to ask if we could chat with Joanne Malin about how wellies have become a fashion must-have and are no longer just for country folk! With an ever-increasing range of wellingtons available today we here at wellieboots.com can chat for hours about funky wellies, colourful wellingtons, traditional wellington boots, childrens wellie boots and more! Ask us anything and we’re bound to know the answer!

We think Judith did a fantastic job, if you would like to hear her in the spotlight, please follow the link below:

Caroline Powell riding Lenamore wins The Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials 2010

I may be a little late with this blog post but I always like to think of the saying ‘better late than never’ and my how the time has passed us by these last few weeks!  This year, The Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials was held from Thursday 2nd – Sunday 5th September at the prestigous Burghley House in Stamford, Lincolnshire – which also happens to be just a few miles down the road from us. As we do every year, we packed up our shop and relocated to Burghley for a week, where we took our brand new country clothing range for Autumn/Winter 2010 with top brands including Aigle, Schoffel, Barbour, Musto and Joules. We also took a selection of our wellington boots from Hunter, Aigle, Joules, Kidorable, Cabotswood, Muckboot and WedgeWelly and joined hundreds of other exhibitors – lets face it; Burghley wouldn’t be Burghley without it’s shopping! Anyway, on to the horsey action…

Last years winner Oliver Townend returned to defend his title with Carousel Quest, who gained 3rd place after the Dressage phase on a score of 39.2, he then rode a clear Cross-Country on the Saturday with just 0.4 time penalties but sadly had two fences down on Sundays Showjumping phase and finished a creditable 4th, leaving the winners spot open for a fellow competitor. Other contenders in the top 10 before the final day included two rides a piece for Brits Mary King and William Fox-Pitt, one each for Brits Francis Whittington and Clea Phillips, New Zealanders Caroline Powell and Clayton Fredericks and German rider Anna Warnecke. The arena went very tense whilst the last ten riders jumped their rounds; Mary King finished in 5th place on Apache Sauce and took the 7th position riding Kings Temptress, Clayton Fredericks (riding Be My Guest II) finished on his dressage score of 45.8 to take 3rd place in the final. William Fox-Pitt finished 2nd place riding Seacookie (William took 6th place with his second ride Macchiato) leaving the Winners crown to Caroline Powell riding the beautiful Lenamore (owned by Lexi MacKinnon), finishing on their Dressage score of 38.7! The pair also made history as Caroline was the first female rider from New Zealand to win the event whilst her partner Lenamore made history by becoming the oldest horse to have won the Land Rover Perpetual Challenge Trophy.

Funky Festival Wellies from wellieboots.com

The festival season is well and truly upon us. Isle of Wight and Download Festival are getting the ball rolling in June, closely followed by Glastonbury at the end of June, which means one thing…Summer is here! However, if you live in Britain you’ll know all about the unpredictability of the British weather which is why i’m giving you my favourite picks from wellieboots.com to ensure you are prepared for whatever the weather may throw your way for whichever festival you’ve got tickets for!

The likelihood is that it will rain at your chosen festival, but make sure you are prepared for all elements – take sunglasses, a sun hat and sun cream if it’s hot and make sure you have plenty to drink throughout the water to stay hydrated. If it’s wet and miserable you’ll need a set of trusty waterproofs and some reliable footwear – festival wellies are always a great idea and come in very handy even if it doesn’t rain due to all the beer spilt!

Isle of Wight Festival – my favourite wellies for IOW 2010 have got to be the Hunter wellies that I own (not that I’m biased or anything)..the Hunter Original Gloss Violet Wellington Boots available in sizes UK 3 – 8 for just £49.95 (RRP £60). These Hunter Wellies look brilliant when teamed with a Didriksons 1913 Womens Tigris Waterproof Set in Orchid Dots – a waterproof jacket and trouser set available for just £39.95 in ladies sizes UK 8 – 16.

Download Festival – for all your rockers heading to Donington Park, the Hunter Lowther Navy Festival Wellington Boots should hit the spot at the bargain price of £21.95 – these cheap and cheerful wellies also include a FREE wellington boot bag and emergency poncho. Why not team with a Mac in a Sac such as the Waterproof and Breathable Mac in a Sac in Flame (Orange) available for £24.95!

Glastonbury Festival – you can’t go wrong with a bit of flower power at Glasto, which is why i’m choosing the Daisy Festival Wellington Boots, priced at just £19.95 and available in UK sizes 3 – 8, these funky wellies are perfect as they come with a FREE emergency poncho and wellington boot bag! If buying these Daisy wellies, why not grab a Mac in a Sac Jacket too? I love the Waterproof and Breathable Mac in a Sac in Candy Pink for just £24.95!
