[SouthWestWhippet]

NAF leather cleanse is the best for cleaning tack IMO

Showsheen for detangling tails

I'm not particular about rugs but I wouldn't be without my fleece cooler as it is great for wet horses.

Gonna open a can of worms here (LOL) but the two things I wouldn't be without for my current horse are my Kimberwick and my standing martingale. At last, I have lightness and control.

standing martingales are much much better (and kinder to the horse) than running martingales. they don't interfere with the mouth, most importantly. good for you for bucking the trend!
