In this issue we talk to Zebra Products rider Tabitha Kyle on the topic of why she chooses Bucas rugs.

The Amerigo Protector Stud Girth is an essential piece of equipment for any jumping horse.
Small sometimes unnoticed injuries inflicted by studs can affect a horses’ performance over fences and its willingness to jump.
Offering the highest level of protection for your horse, the Amerigo Protector Stud Girth is specially shaped to protect the horse where necessary but still allows it that vital freedom of movement.
The special shape provides extra comfort for the horse and the front side of the girth is softly padded with calfskin with three different options for choice of easy martingale attachment, traditional ring, buckled strap and flexible snap clip. Double sided triple elastic allows centralised positioning.
In keeping with the quality of their saddles, the Amerigo accessories are not only made from the finest materials but are technically designed and engineered to give you the highest level of protection and comfort for your horse.
The Amerigo Protector Stud Girth is priced at around £478.

The intelligent spur strap loop makes for a perfect fit on the boot and it is made of break-proof, high-quality stainless steel.

The spur comes in three neck designs straight 15mm neck, round neck 20mm and round neck 25mm.

It is priced at £35.

LOOKING for a super stylish riding helmet that also offers you excellent comfort and is developed using the latest technology?
Whether you are a seasoned competitor travelling the world or a leisure rider enjoying spending time with your horses or pony at weekends, uvex has riding helmets to suit all requirements.
Based in Germany, uvex is one of the leading international manufacturers of personal protective equipment and has been inspiring riders with pioneering technologies and innovative products for more than 90 years.

Antique style for Christmas

When it comes to choosing a gift for the equestrian who seems to have everything why not consider an antique, silver topped riding or dressage whip.

Fleck is a traditional family run, whip making company from Germany who specialise in hand made whips. 

The Antique ferrules on this whip are etched into the silver and are delicate and subtle. The top ferrule is rounded and covers the head of the whip and the cuff around the neck of the whip is etched in the same pattern.

The whip itself is made from hand braided leather and comes in eight colours from standard Black and Brown through to fashionable statement colours such as White, Green or Purple. It is available in a variety of lengths – in a classic riding whip style of 24” through to a dressage size of between 40-60”. The dressage whip comes with a woven end tail or the riding whip comes with a classic bat style end.

All handmade and crafted to perfection, Fleck whips promise quality and style. So, this Christmas, why not treat an equestrian mad friend or family member to a beautiful, hand-made antique piece that they will cherish for years to come.

RRP: Riding Whip (Fleck 02095) starts at £250.00 Dressage Whip (Fleck 03095) £280.00
