If you could give an award for a piece of kit?

[LEC]

I am looking for the best of the best in the following as I have certainly tried a few things from recommendation from stableyard which work so just wondering if we can get together a definitive list of the best!

1) Saddle Soap/leather protector

2) Rug

3) Leatherwear

4) Boots for the horse

5) Feed Suppliment

6) Bag of feed

7) Miscellanous

 

[Malibu]

1. ROBINSONS SPRAY, CHEAP BUT MY GOD YOU GET COMPLIMENTS!
2. RAMBO
3. PASSIER
4. NEW PERFORMANCE BOOTS FOR XC
5. FEEDMARK BENEVIT AND EXTRA FLEX HA
6. CALM AND CONDITION BY ALLEN AND PAGE
7. kk bits, i LOVE them, rubber over reach boots, nuumed wool half numnah, elevator bridle, biolfow rug and boots,

 

[Tia]

1. Stubben/Hammamol leather care products.

2. Fal

3. Cavallo boots

4. Eskadron sheepskin boots

5. Farriers Formula

6. Dengie Hi-fi Lite - my daughters pony would not be alive today had it not been for this feed.

7. Sprenger KK bits

 

[LEC]

For me it would be:
1) Hammonal - How did I live without this product?
2) Toss up between Weatherbeeta and Horsewear but our Beetas are better value so they just win!
3) I am not too fussy on this as long as its english
4) I am impressed with NEW they really have lasted and ok price.
5) I do not bother with suppliments have not found one that does anything. Keep thinking about maybe a balancer?
6) I think my bag of wonder feed would be Baileys No4 - horse loves it, good quality and ok price and does what it says! I only feed straights so not any good on mixes.
7) My misc item would be my cactus mitten - I love it I have a ticklish horse who rolls in mud and this item is a god send as cannot get near him with a brush.

 

[CastleMouse]

1) Saddle Soap/leather protector - I love Carr & Day & Martins Belvoir Saddle Soap in the spray-on format. Ko-Chao-Line is also brilliant to use before storing away tack you won't be using for a while.

3) Leatherwear - Berney Bros. & Decathlon

4) Boots for the horse - Eskadron for show jumping boots, and N.E.W for XC boots.

7) Miscellanous - I love Decathlon horsewear, really good value, and it's quite good quality! I love their bridles! Shires is also really good if you're a rider on a budget. I love my Eurostar Breeches too, really comfy and smart!

1) carr day and martins for ease, balsalm for lovely supple leather

2) Horseware without a doubt, followed by FAL.
