Sportabac - I owe you one!

Advantages: Effective, durable protection
Disadvantages: Mud tends to stick so frequent washing needed

...bought 3 pairs of long Sportabac socks from my local saddlery for approx £26 each in Dec 2003. My horse had suffered a horrific injury to the lower part of her left hind, leaving very little flesh on the bone and after 4 weeks at the vets she was going stable crazy! The long turnout socks held the very large dressing in place and protected it from the elements so I could turn her out during the day - which I am sure aided has her recovery. As the ...
...ride her in a sand manege - and they successfully kept all the sand off the dressing whilst helping protect against brushing. Now they protect the still delicate scar tissue when she is turned out as well as keeping the mud off. After a year of wearing the socks each day - she has had absolutely no rubs. I have managed with just 3 pairs - so they have taken some hammer. Only now, after a full year of use, is the velcro starting to weaken and they ...

Review of Masta Regal Light Stable Rug

hard wearing pony saddle

Advantages: good fit for both pony and the child
Disadvantages: a little bit long on the girth straps

In my opinion I found this saddle great for starting my little girl in her riding career. I found it reasonably hard wearing. My little girl likes to help put in on and take it off her pony, needless to say she managed to drop it a few times whilst putting it away. In my opinion I found it quite light to carry and handle. Little girl liked it because of the safety handle in the front so if she felt unbalanced at any time, there was something there ...

Review of Wintec Kids Saddle

Bioflow Brushing Boots

Advantages: puts a new lease of life back in my horses
Disadvantages: no negative to report

I think they are a great product. I have used them for various reason. My mare damaged her ligaments and I found they were very helpful to increase the blood supply and helping the ligaments to heal. I have also used them on a horse that has quite a few problems with his lower legs and on Bute daily. I find them very easy to use, they are robust and hard wearing and easy to keep clean by sponging down after use. I turn my horses out in them as well ...

Review of Bioflow Horse Brushing Boot and Tendon Wrap

Marquis SuperGrip Hoof Boots easy to use and horse loved them

Advantages: hard wearing and easy to fit
Disadvantages: never wore them to ride in as my horse was retired

I was looking for a way to help my aged horse, cope with being barefoot and came across the Supergrip Hoof Boots. In my opinion I found them to be a good send. I remember the first day he wore them. I found them quite easy to put on after try other makes, having to walk along a loose stoney road to get to the field, he usually tip toed and took ages, however with these boots he had a new lease of life and he was bouncing along the road, got into ...
...Other people at the yard were amazed and said he was a different horse. After getting used to them he used to lift his feet and put them into the Supergrips. They were like air filled slippers. I found them quite robust and simply to use. They were worn in all weathers throughout the year and found in general they tended to stay put. Occasionally he would pull one off in the field but that was just when i started to use them. Even my boyfriend managed ...
