Plus, with tough strike pads and a durable ripstop outer, you can trust that these travel boots will protect your horse’s delicate legs during transit.
Waldhausen Tail Protector
Since your horse’s dock area is at risk of injury while they’re travelling, it’s essential to protect the top of their tail when in a horsebox or trailer. Luckily, the Waldhausen Tail Protector is a handy alternative to a traditional tail bandage – saving you time when dressing your horse for travel, thanks to its sturdy Velcro fasteners! For extra security, this tail protector benefits from a D-ring that allows it to be fixed to your horse’s travel rug.
WeatherBeeta Fleece Cooler Rug
Help your horse stay cool and comfortable while travelling, with the WeatherBeeta Fleece Cooler Rug! This rug’s moisture-wicking properties ensure your horse feels comfortable during their journey on a horsebox or trailer, since it keeps your horse dry if they tend to sweat while travelling. With a fixed neck cover, striking colours, and anti-pill finish, this smart cooler rug is ideal if you’re searching for an eye-catching garment for your horse to wear to shows.
Equilibrium Calmmunch Snack
Stress is certainly something to be avoided while travelling your horse – but, for some horses, travelling can become stressful because it’s out of their ordinary routine. The Equilibrium Calmmunch Snack is a super tasty, low-sugar snack packed with calming ingredients (like magnesium and B vitamins) to inspire calmness in your horse during stressful situations, like travelling. Whether you feed this special snack block in the middle of their haynet or straight from a specially designed Munch Net, it should help to your horse feel more relaxed.
