Horse Equipment

Horse equipment includes the necessary material for riding but also essential accessories for its well-being. To properly equip the horse and enjoy different equestrian practices, it's important to consider the horse's size and morphology.

Then, it involves adjusting the equipment using associated buckles or snap hooks to ensure maximum comfort for both horse and rider with utmost safety.

Certain additional accessories should be planned for transport and equestrian competitions. Remember to coordinate the different equipment to highlight your equine partner!

Horse equipment for exercises: the bridle or halter with the headpiece, adjustable noseband, and bit, the headstalls, reins, and girth covers, the training, trail, or lead rope, the exercise rug, saddle pad or shock absorber, the saddle, stirrup leathers, and stirrups.

Equipment for taking care of the horse daily: stable blanket, fleece and waterproof sheet, type protections such as overreach boots or tendon boots for cross-country, fly bonnet and nose protector, reflective covers for bridles and the halter.

In riding, quality equipment allows for enjoyable horse riding. Adapted to each equestrian discipline, it provides comfort to the rider who can remain in a dynamic position without harming their mount.

Properly equipping your horse means providing all the necessary comfort for its well-being in action and movement. Good horse equipment minimizes friction and reduces shocks. It allows for intensive equestrian practice without causing discomfort to the horse. The choice of materials is therefore important, particularly in padding. Their thickness protects the most stressed areas.

Choosing equipment with an anatomical shape ensures good posture for the horse during exertion. Equestrian equipment that respects the nature of the animal promises better performance in competition. 

Some shock absorbers stimulate blood circulation in the muscles. However, accumulating accessories on its back shouldn't cause overheating. Choosing a breathable fabric reduces sweating.

There are blankets to dry the coat after training, preventing chills. At rest, the mount also needs to be equipped against cold and bad weather depending on the temperatures.

The equestrian blanket is part of horse equipment. Its name varies depending on its use. The exercise rug is essential for outings for clipped horses. This type of blanket is mainly used in winter. In fleece or waterproof material, it prevents any loss of body heat.

The exercise rug allows for better sporting results because the horse does not have cold muscles when leaving its stable. But there are other horse blankets.

The fleece sheet protects the horse from the cold when it remains in the paddock. It has a more covering shape than that used for horse or pony training. It can also be waterproof. The drying model absorbs moisture after exercises. It is also used as a stable blanket. The indoor protection has varying thickness depending on seasonal temperatures.
