6 Important Horse Accessories
-
Nice saddle pad for your horse or pony
A good saddle pad is an essential when it comes to horse accessories. It provides both comfort and protection for your horse. The pad prevents the saddle from coming into direct contact with your horse's skin, which reduces friction and irritation. The saddle pad has the important task of absorbing sweat and preventing the saddle from shifting while riding. Our saddle pads are made of soft and breathable material, which promotes ventilation and prevents overheating! Check out our pony accessories for the most beautiful saddle pads!

Extensive cleaning kit
An extensive grooming kit is essential for the daily maintenance of your horse or pony. In addition to the standard items such as a curry comb, soft brush, hard brush, mane comb and hoof pick, the grooming kit can also contain extra accessories such as a coat shine spray. Brushing not only helps to remove dirt and sweat, but also stimulates blood circulation, which contributes to healthy skin and a shiny coat.
-
Warm blanket for match days
During cold days, especially before or after intensive training or competition days, a warm blanket is an important horse accessory. A good show blanket keeps your horse warm and prevents the body from cooling down, which can cause muscle pain or stiffness. These blankets are often made of breathable, yet insulating materials that keep your horse comfortable and dry. They offer extra protection against cold and wind, allowing your horse to recover faster after training or competition.
-
Good quality halter
A good quality halter is important for guiding your horse safely and comfortably, both in the stable and during outdoor rides. Halters are available in various materials, such as leather, nylon or fleece, and can be adjusted in size and style to suit your horse’s needs. It is important to choose a halter that fits well and does not cause friction. In addition, a good halter can help you guide your horse in a calm manner, without having to apply too much pressure.
-
Safety reflectors for outdoor riding
For outdoor rides, especially in the early morning or late evening, visibility is of great importance. Reflective strips, vests or fur protectors ensure that your four-legged friend is clearly visible to other road users, which increases safety while riding. This is especially important when riding in areas with little street lighting or during bad weather.
-
Leg protectors or bandages
Leg protectors and bandages provide protection for your horse or pony’s legs, both while riding and during grooming in the stable. They help prevent injuries from bumps or chafing and provide extra support during training or in the pasture. Bandages can help support joints and muscles, especially during intensive training or when your horse or pony has to turn or jump a lot. Make sure that the bandages are fitted correctly and that they are not too tight so as not to restrict blood circulation.
