Truly Versatile

In this issue Sprenger Bitting Consultant, Lindsay Middleton looks at the Nathe Pelham Collection and why it is so versatile.
The Nathe Pelham Bit range has been developed to assist mouth sensitive horses to perform at the highest level.
All the Nathe Pelham Bits feature variable rein options to adjust the leverage effect on the poll and bit guards to protect the lips.
Explains Lindsay: “The Nathe bit range is ideal for when jumping horses that can be a bit keen into their fence.
“When riders need to take a check coming into a jump the Nathe Pelham works really well, especially for horses that are sensitive in the mouth.
“The Nathe mouthpiece combined with a Pelham cheek works really well for keen horses.  The bit is soft on the mouth but provides control thanks to the cheeks and curb.”
The Nathe Mullen Mouth Pelham Bit with Port relieves pressure on the middle of the tongue and has bit guards to protect the lips.  It comes in both soft and hard mouth pieces.
The Nathe Gag Pelham Bit with Flexible Mullen Mouth is suitable for strong horses and provides contact on the mouth, poll and lower jaw.

Equipe Rarity Grip Saddle

The Equipe Rarity Grip Saddle has been specially designed with the younger rider in mind, making it a great junior pony saddle.

It is an elegant and very comfortable jumping saddle crafted in refined leather equipped with a synthetic tree that favours the seating of the rider, whilst adapting itself perfectly to the structure of the pony.

The Equipe Rarity Grip Saddle comes in Grip Leather, specially developed hard wearing calfskin leather that is particularly durable.

The double flap saddle is fitted with larger knee blocks that are especially positioned to help keep the leg steady, and external thigh block for added security and improved position.

The Equipe Rarity Grip features customisable details to add a touch of colour; the rider can choose among a number of bright tones to add a vibrant splash to the stirrup leather keeper on the flap, the cantle insert and all the underneath gullet of the seat, as preferred.

Available in Black, Brown, New Market and Red Brown the Equipe Rarity Grip is priced around £2,475.

New Bucas Freedom Fly Mask

With the warmer weather approaching, fly masks are an important part of your horse’s wardrobe to protect them from pestering insects and from the sun.
The Bucas Freedom Fly Mask provides excellent protection and can be used with the Freedom Fly Rugs or on its own.
Anti-fly and anti-insect features, the fly mask helps to protect your horse’s eyes and face from those pesky irritants.
The Freedom Fly Mask is available in Spicy Pink and Sweet Blue in sizes XXXS-XL and is priced at around £18.00.
