The Many Benefits Of Horseware

By Katrina Wheeler


Many equestrians know how important appearance is when you are competing. Everything from blankets to horse boots is included in the completed look. Determining which horseware is the most appropriate for each event can be tricky. This article will discuss some of your options.

With cold weather approaching, blankets should be a consideration. Perhaps you want a turn out blanket to keep your equestrian friend warm during the chilly weather. If it is raining outside, you will want them to have the added protection of a water proof blanket. During summer months, you might want to consider a blanket designed to cool your animal after a hard work out.

Leg wraps and leg wear can be used for protection and support. If you are shipping your horse, you might consider shipping boots, which provide added protection when you are transporting your horse. You might choose a fleece wrap, a polo wrap, standing wrap or a stall wrap. If your horse has an injury you may want to choose a warming or cooling wrap. There are many color options to choose from as well.

Fly bonnets will protect him from the irritation of flies. These are great during the summer months. Other bonnets provide ear protection to block out scary sounds which could cause him to spook. Hoods are often used to prevent him from cuts, nicks and scratches. Decide which items would be best for him and ask your vendor for assistance in making a decision.

Long flowing manes and tails are gorgeous. Using tubes, mane socks and tail bags will provide you with a better ability to grow your horse's mane and tail. In order to keep your horse's hair from becoming tangled and dirty, use these items. Once you have braided their hair, insert each section into a bag and seal it using ties. The most difficult part of using these products is keeping it on the horse once you are done.

Hard and fast running can cause bowing of tendons and broken or chipped bones. By over reaching, a horse can damage his heel bulbs by causing the front of the back hooves to hit the back of the front hooves. Bell boots will correct over reaching and also prevent them from knocking off one of their shoes. Make your decision for boots based on the needs of your horse. Speak with your vendor regarding jumping, sport and splint boots as well.

If your equine buddy is wearing a bridle, your battle is half over. Bridles make catching and leading a horse much easier. When riding, a bridle is used to tell the horse which direction you want to go. You may choose to select products that match in color so that when competing you have a more complete and finished look.

Speak with your vendor regarding any upcoming events and ask for his assistance. You have many different options for horseware. Determine which items will best suit the needs of your horse and the events you are entered in. With so many styles, colors and choices you will have a great time enjoying your research.
