Sally Rejoins the Herd
First Aid Essential - Cavalor FreeBute Gel
The externally applied gel is packed with natural ingredients. It contains a unique mixture of eight essential oils, including eucalyptus, lavender and tea tree, which are known for their relaxing, cooling and soothing effects. This makes Cavalor FreeBute Gel the ideal solution for overworked, sensitive or painful muscles and tendons.
When addressing pain, it is not only important to deal with the pain itself, but also to tackle the source. After applying, the gel will first have a pleasant cooling effect, after which it will start to feel warm. Thanks to the hydrogel, Cavalor FreeBute Gel quickly penetrates the skin, where it has a deep and powerful effect on the underlying tissues. Because it has a positive influence on the blood flow, Cavalor FreeBute Gel can be used to relax sensitive muscles prior to training, but will also help to rid the body of toxins after an intensive workout, therefore preventing muscle stiffness.
The gel can also be used for bruises, injuries and swollen legs to reduce swelling and speed up recovery. On top of that, Cavalor FreeBute Gel is an antiseptic and can sooth pain caused by wounds.
Available in a 200ml tube, priced at around £26.50 and a 2 Litre Jar with Pump, priced at around £195.00.

Eve Looks Set for Show Jumping Success
YOUNG Eve McCoy may have a legend of a father in the form of champion jockey AP, but it is the sport of show jumping that has attracted the 14-year-old who is rapidly making a name for herself over the coloured poles.
And her recent successes as a part of the GB Children on Horses team this year has led to her gaining support from Equipe saddles and UK distributor Zebra Products.
Eve has had a fantastic season with the bay gelding, Non Stop, known as Frankie at home, and was chosen to compete for Team GB at the European Championships at Vilamoura in Portugal where they finished in team bronze position.
At their two Children on Horses Nations Cup competitions, Eve and Non Stop were in the gold medal winning team in Holland and took team silver in France. Read more
Bucas Quarter Sheet and Therapy Quarter Sheet
The Bucas Quarter Sheet is the ideal light weight and durable all weather exercise rug which fits perfectly over the back behind the saddle to keep the horse warm and dry while exercising.
It is also available as a Therapy Quarter Sheet which helps to stimulates blood circulation and oxygen flow in the horse’s body and back. This helps heal and reduce both swelling and inflammation and helps increase blood circulation and warms up muscles faster while you ride.
Bitting the Youngster with the Sprenger Dynamic RS Full Cheek Bit
Sprenger Dynamic RS bits are characterised by an ergonomically shaped mouthpiece allowing a soft and even distribution of pressure for a better contact between horse and rider.
The Dynamic RS Full Cheek bit lies very quietly in the horse’s mouth as the cheeks prevent the bit from being pulled through the mouth, making it ideal for the young horse. It avoids inconvenient pressure on the back teeth.
Due to the curved joints, the mouthpiece remains in the correct central position on the tongue, letting the rein aids work perfectly with the horse’s mouth and therefore encouraging the horse’s confidence in the rider’s hand and increasing safety.
