Our tester, Val Williams, says: A very good buy. We first used it on a Connemara pony with a full coat who travelled to the vet, had a small eye operation and then back again. She was sedated and so sweated, but was cold with the shock. The excellent wicking properties in the fleece soon dried her out as well as warming her up. The rug is breathable, has a 100% bonded fleece and anti-rub nylon shoulders. A superb design are the removable cross surcingles from both sides, so if the horse or pony rolls and becomes cast, it is easily easy opened. We also travelled a stallion here to his new home wearing it and he wasn’t sweated up at all on arrival.

Our tester, Emma Woolley, says: I love that this company provides a bespoke colour scheme for the rugs that they provide. Our business colour is a royal blue, and this is the colour that the rug arrived in, such a lovely surprise! It is a super material, not over thick and I have found it to be perfect for using on horses to cool down after exercise and to wear after being bathed. I also loved using it to travel in as it is the perfect weight for this. This rug is a high quality product and made very well, providing excellent wicking properties. It is perfect for everyday use on the yard and also serves as a very smart travel and show rug.

Our tester, Denise Richardson- Rowell, says: Comes in a easy to use plastic bottle with an easy to use trigger action handle. I used it on my young grey horse with a stable stain and it definitely worked, either on a dry coat, or on a wet coat. A very useful product for any last minute emergencies, and an excellent product for the stable yard every day, or at shows etc. Good sized bottle too.
The company says: Perfect for travelling to shows, this stylish bag has a handle on top and a long handle to enable you to wear over your shoulders. One Size. RRP: £25.00

Our tester, Josella Scott, says: Absolutely ideal for people with larger feet. It has ample proportions and will happily carry more than just a pair of large long boots. I particularly liked the location of the carry straps which enabled the bag to be slung over your shoulder whilst you wrestle to carry all the other equestrian paraphernalia that we lug to events. It proved to be made robustly, with excellent stitching and good quality zips. It certainly did the job of keeping my boots clean and protected until they were needed. I only wish they made a similar bag suitable for keeping my horse in, and clean until needed! Overall this is a handy item which most equestrians will find useful.
