For the Yard

There is no looking back once you’ve got your soggy hands on a Centaur rug dryer. What a lifesaver but it is a serious investment. Gone are the days of dragging drenched rugs around the yard but I would recommend getting a timer switch from your local DIY shop as I have been known to forget to turn it off.

BEDMAX Shavings offers you a 100% natural, dust free horse bedding developed and made specifically to help you keep your horse healthy, happy and comfortable in the stable.

I have used the H-Trap for a season now and wouldn’t be without them. We put one by the fields and one by the swimming pool where we kept being bitten by the horseflies ourselves.

We have all seen Sudocrem about the place but it is truly brilliant for a myriad of ailments for both the horse and the rider. I use mine the most on a very itchy 11.2h pony. He manages to ruin his tail every year when the flies come out and its soothing powers definitely ease the itch.

3M Vetrap Bandaging Tape has so many uses. It doesn’t slip as it sticks to itself, but can still be repositioned and is the most effective way of keeping a sterile dressing on an awkward place. It is also excellent for holding a poultice on the foot.

The question is clean tack or shiny tack? Grand Prix Leather Gloss like many other products nourishes you leather keeping it supple. Where Grand Prix Leather Gloss is in a league of its own is in the long lasting shine it gives your tack, with no extra effort.
