The Many Different Types Of Horseware

by Jerri Perry

Horse owners today are very busy and have many responsibilities. Anything they can do to save themselves some time is well worth it. Many people are finding that the right horseware can really help them cut down significantly on grooming, especially if they are getting ready for an important show.

It takes hours of work and preparation to succeed in the show ring. Each year many riders, from young children to veteran riders who have spent decades in the saddle, take part in shows and competitions. These range from small local events that are fun and friendly all the way to national and international level contests that require very expensive horses.

In recent years horses have maintained their relationship with people, but the dynamic of the situation has changed. Horses are now primarily recreational animals that can be ridden for pleasure, shown and work on ranches. These animals typically need a lot of gear ranging from saddles and bridles, to blankets and specialized tack.

In addition to excellent care the horse will need many of grooming. After being ridden in warm weather it is a good idea to bath the horse in cool water and use a gentle shampoo to get all the sweat and dust out of their coat. They should then be sprayed with a product that helps to repel dust and dirt. These silicone based sprays are excellent for use on the horses mane and tail as they help to reduce tangles and keep them in good condition.

Once a horse has been clipped he will need several warm blankets to compensate for the loss of hair. There are some excellent ones available today that are light weight, easy to wash and fully waterproof. They are also lined with specially developed nylon products that not only help to prevent rubbing and sore spots, but will actually polish and shine the coat.

As horses need to be turned out in the field every day a good warm blanket is essential. In fact many owners like their animals to have a designated turn out blanket and a slightly lighter stable rug. They can add layers to this as the weather gets colder. The lighter layers are also very easy to wash and help to keep the horses coat clean and ready for a show. Show preparation takes many hours and a lot of work so every little bit of help is appreciated by the owners and barn staff.

One of the newest <A href="http://www.countryandstable.co.uk">horseware</A> products to hit the market are stretch hoods or underwear for horses. These hoods are made from lightweight nylon and are available in sizes to fit the smallest pony to the largest thoroughbred. They fit over the horses face, neck and shoulders. Because they are so light they can be used even in hot weather.

The hoods are very quick to wash and dry and quite inexpensive to buy. For the hours of work they save they are totally worth the investment. They are made in a variety of colors and patterns.
