How Horseware Saves Time Grooming

By Jerri Perry


Horse owners today are very busy and have many responsibilities. Anything they can do to save themselves some time is well worth it. Many people are finding that the right horseware can really help them cut down significantly on grooming, especially if they are getting ready for an important show.

It takes hours of work and preparation to succeed in the show ring. Each year many riders, from young children to veteran riders who have spent decades in the saddle, take part in shows and competitions. These range from small local events that are fun and friendly all the way to national and international level contests that require very expensive horses.

In recent years horses have maintained their relationship with people, but the dynamic of the situation has changed. Horses are now primarily recreational animals that can be ridden for pleasure, shown and work on ranches. These animals typically need a lot of gear ranging from saddles and bridles, to blankets and specialized tack.

During the summer months many horses are on the show circuit. This may mean many hours on the road travelling from show to show. These horses need a lot of equipment. This will include a variety of rugs and blankets. Most stables like to have their own distinctive colors. Their horses are all kitted out in matching rugs, halters and leg wraps. This not only looks very professional, but also gives the riders a great sense of team spirit.

A show horse must look absolutely perfect when they go into the ring. This takes many hours of grooming and conditioning. Yet something as simple as having the right coverings can really make the crucial difference in the show ring. Many of the new rugs have a polyester filling that actually polishes the animals coat and adds extra shine.

Many people are now shopping for their horeswares on line. They can take their time and browse the huge selection of items at their leisure. Before making a purchase it is important to make sure they are ordering the correct size. If there is any doubt it is a good idea to talk with the customer service department. They can offer pointers on measuring for rugs, tack and other items of horse clothing.

One of the newest horseware products to hit the market are stretch hoods or underwear for horses. These hoods are made from lightweight nylon and are available in sizes to fit the smallest pony to the largest thoroughbred. They fit over the horses face, neck and shoulders. Because they are so light they can be used even in hot weather.

There are some excellent heavy weight winter rugs for the colder months. They have been carefully designed to be water proof, breathable and still light enough to be easy to use. Horseware in available in many different colors, styles and prices. There is sure to be something to suit every budget and taste.
