Hard Waring And Versatile Horseware

By Essie Osborn


Horses are beautiful animals that need a lot of care and attention. Most domesticated horses are used for riding or driving. They live a very different existence from their wild cousins. Many spend most of their time in stalls and are only turned out for a few hours each day. They are also ridden by their owners and many compete in shows and competitions. This requires a lot of specialized equipment and training.

No matter how they like to enjoy their horses, all riders need a lot of equipment. This ranges from the basic necessities such as an approved helmet and strong pair of boots all the way to expensive show gear that is only worn for special occasions. Most people like to shop on line and many have found that Horseware is an excellent company.

Most owners by at least one or two rugs for their horse each year. These are important to keep a horse warm in winter and clean in summer. As large athletic animals, horses need to be turned out into a well fenced field each day so they can get some exercise and graze. However, the first thing they typically do is roll in the first mud puddle they find.

Getting value for money is at the top of every ones mind. This is especially true for parents who may have more than one child participating in the sport. They will have to really stretch their budget to make sure that everyone is kept happy and gets what they need. Knowing there is somewhere to turn that can provide for all their needs is really great. Shipping costs are very reasonable and sometimes there are specials with free shipping on certain orders.

Show outfits for English riders include a well fitting and secure hunt cap with a black velvet cover. They will also need a properly fitting show jacket in either navy blue or black. Junior riders wear jodhpurs, tight fitting riding pants in a neutral color such as beige, cream or white. Short leather boots in black or brown will complete the outfit. Everything should be kept in absolutely spot less condition and only worn when the child is actually in the ring.

The horses themselves also need a lot of clothing. A show horse will need a set of blankets or summer sheets. The sheets are usually made of light weight cotton and are easy to wash and dry. They will need to be laundered regularly to help keep the horse clean. Wearing a sheet keeps the dust and flies off the horse in summer and helps to keep their coat in perfect condition.

Over the past few years lots of new touches have been added that really help the horse owner. The new nylon shells can actually polish the horses coat to make them shine. The front Velcro fasteners also prevent rubbing and sore spots. The new cross surcingles help to keep the rug in place but eliminate pressure points on the horses back.

Most of the horse ware products can be purchased on line or from a local retail outlet. Any questions can be addressed to the knowledgeable sales staff. Products are shipped fast and can even arrive over night if needed quickly.
