Can you recommend a couple of Horsey Products - I can ..

[Eaglestone]

Not off out tonight so trying to amuse myself

The first one, I can recommend, is a Platinum range Mattes Numnah, which I have had now for over 4 years and still going strong. The reason I brought this product was that my TB has very sensitive skin and due to the long distance pleasure riding we were doing, I needed something that was protective and yet did not cause ‘bulk’. So I chose this product as it had, what was the unique (at the time, but may not be now) spine free construction see …… SeeHere
I was also using on both my horses the Mattes Platinum Range Seat Saver, and was pleased with the quality of those.

See attached picture of the numnah 5 years on (sorry it is not clean) …. Not bad really, as it is still used regularly and apart from the black now being a shade of blue and the Velcro on the Girth Straps showing wear, it ‘fluffs’ up perfectly and still has years of use.

My second recommendation is the Oster Tail and Main Brush. I was always told that you should never go out of the yard with Straw or Shavings in the horses tail, and I am a stickler for it. Both my horses have lovely thick mains and tails and I love to see them looking tidy. This is the only type of product that is ‘man enough’ for the job!! Other makes are available now though, but perhaps not as strong

Here are some piccies from yesterday, sorry the sun is not in the right place, but you get the gist (sp)

I can recommend Cowboy Magic Green Spot Remover. Fabulous stuff.

Also Keratex Mud Shield Powder. Makes washing off muddy legs a lot easier!

I can recommend Ariat boots & the Albion KB bridle

Both are excellent quality, long lasting and beautiful looking.
I would also recommend Allen & Page feeds.

I recommend Ariat boots too - love them!

Also, LOVE my Bartyl Sheepskin saddlecloth. Its the ONLY one I found which doesnt slip on one of my horses (and I went through a lot of them!). It seems very comfy, washes well and still looks brand new.

I can recommend the Kieffer Neoprene girth - 8 years on the first one is just like new, horses love them and they dont slip or pinch and they wash fantastically. Well worth the ££

And Equitector boots - the only ones with an all round toecap to stop your 17hh IDxTB slicing your toes off if he stands on your foot on a soft surface with a top only steel toecap....and so comfy and well made in UK and very warm.

 

[Solstar]

I recommend Ariats too- but espiecially (sp) the Grasmeres!

Also, the Oster grooming brushes- i just wish they did more of a body brush type brush!

Oh, and how could i forget my faithful Musto Snug jacket- 6 years old and still going strong!

Ariat Devon Pro's get my vote for my feet.

A 'Tailgator' tail bag for keeping a white tail - white! Fab thing.

Another vote for Green Spot remover by Cowboy Magic

but the gloopiest, purple-est shampoo ever is Brite Whites

(So gloopy that it doesn't come out of the bottle when the lid comes off whilst on the train coming home from Olympia

)

I am going to have a look at the Ariat Boots as the concensus of opinion is that they are well worth spending your money on, thanks.

ariat devon pros and the matching gaitors; anything coat wise by Musto and hats by Charles Owen

 

[Befney3]

I also love my Ariat Devons & matching gaitors.

My best buy has got to be my Rambo Overchaps!! They're fantastic, waterproof & warm. I wear them everyday over the winter & over my white johds @ shows & they still look as good as new (2yrs old).

I love my Mountain Horse Rider 2 boots. So comfortable, I am on my second pair now. also have a pair of the Ariat Bromonts which are great for winter.

Love the Dodsen and Horrel pasture mix as it has bits of carrot and mint and garlic in it. Polly adores it.

Also would recomend Miscanthus (sp?) Elephant grass bedding as a deep litter. Once you have a decent base, it is really quick and easy to maintain, economical and clean for a deep litter.

Got one of those goats hair body brushes for Christmas, finally can groom my ticklish mare without dodging teeth every time i touch her tummy
