Finding success in equestrian sports doesn’t happen overnight, and it certainly doesn’t happen without the right equipment. From top-of-the-line tack to essential grooming accessories, choose tools you can trust to make all the difference. Start with a bridle by Equijump and find style, function, and purpose woven into this beautifully crafted piece. Whether you're gearing up for showjumping or even dressage, ensure you and your horse have the essentials en route to victory.
You simply can't go riding in a competition without a properly fitting bridle. It's absolutely imperative in terms of comfort and connection. The Equijump bridle proves a cut above the rest, looking out for your horse's best interests while achieving precision-crafted ease for the rider. The right equine bridle strikes a harmonious connection with your horse without causing discomfort due to tightness. A happy horse and a comfortable rider make for a winning combination.
Alongside your bridle, a saddle is one of the most important pieces of tack you can use. They impact your horse's ability to move, ultimately affecting your ability to move in a comfortable and nimble way. It doesn't hurt to get a professional saddle fitting regularly to ensure optimal results. A comfortable saddle for show jumping has ergonomic, weight-distribution properties. These features play a key role in giving your horse the freedom and encouragement to perform in the way it was bred and trained to.
A freshly groomed horse immediately draws attention to entering the arena. Keep their coat smooth and shiny with stiff brushes and hair shine, claws clipped, and all the dirt removed using a hoof pick every day. Always coordinate your horse saddle pad colors with your horse. Once you've mastered how to groom a horse, you can even get to work braiding its mane and tail. This extra special attention can make all the difference.
Seems like a small step in the grand scheme of the competitive approach, but a few shiny black braids, sparkly hoof paint, or specially shaped saddle pads can help you stand out from the crowd. Equijump provides a chic line-up of functional equestrian accessories for riders who want to combine panache with performance. Whether it’s a bridle or a pair of boots, equestrian gear must serve its function as well as look good.
Of course, safety must always come first. Never ruin a winning round because you didn’t adequately protect your horse’s legs while competing! Leg wraps, boots, and overreach protectors can safeguard your equine’s legs from strain or injury. Choose safety accessories constructed from breathable, streamlined fabrics. This way, required leg support is provided for your horse without inhibiting its natural movement.
During outdoor eventing fixtures, fly sheets or even a fly mask can help distract your horse from biting insects. An ear bonnet can muffle the invasive sounds your horse may pick up, particularly if showjumping or tackling the rigours of a cross-country course.
Advance preparation of the horse and rider is required for every equestrian discipline. Without adequate training, you and your steed are not likely to make light work of even the simplest showjumping course! After spending time tack-walking, you may now use a double bridle for your dressage training.
This will help build muscle memory of the correct aids in your dressage test and may mean that you need to carry out fewer instructions on your dressage sheet. Use equipment in training that you know will get you around when it comes to the event. The more your horse is used to a tack, the less likely it is to become distracted. The less distracted your horse is, the better you’ll perform.
There are certain items designed to make your horse’s life extra comfy, such as padded and continental-style headcollars. You can also use an ergonomic girth that has been designed to follow the contours of the horse’s body. An anti-slip saddle pad will help your saddle remain in place during a competition warm-up. Padded reins protect against blisters from a long day in the saddle.
Young or nervous horses can benefit from extra comfort. A regular horse or pony pad on top of your product can help spread the load. Gel pads can also help alleviate pressure from areas that might rub without them. In the evening, at the height of summer, you could also use a cooling rug. This could keep your horse at a comfortable temperature.
Equijump designs each riding accessory to be comfortable for horses and riders. There is style and performance, from the competition field to the training barn. The Equijump Tack Room range is ideal if you are a rider who wants to coordinate the performance wear that goes from the paddock to the park!
