A hugely successful Amerigo demo evening at Hartpury College took place on Friday 4 November in front of a 300 strong crowd, raising £800 for charity.

Organised by Zebra Products, the Amerigo Gala Event was expertly compered by eventing supremo Lucinda Green who guided the audience through the evening’s proceedings. Peter Menet, Amerigo’s renowned saddle designer got things started with a talk about horse biomechanics and the importance of saddle fitting.

Cavalor PodoGuard hoof oil is a unique blend of nourishing and essential oils which penetrate deep into the hoof promoting optimal hoof condition.
The nourishing oil in Cavalor PodoGuard creates an ideal moisture balance. This will help promote better hoof growth, development and quality.
When hooves are soaked in water and mud, they will soften. The natural protective oils will then be stripped away making them more susceptible to invading organisms. Cavalor PodoGuard acts as an antibacterial barrier to keep moisture and microorganisms out.
500ml bottle - RRP £21.00
2000ml pouch – RRP £58.00.

Total balance and optimal coordination of movement for both horse and rider are the inspirations behind the design, making it an excellent choice for dressage riders of all levels.

Pre Competition - Preparing the Coat
When getting horses ready for competitions bath one or two days before a show, weather permitting.
If your horse or pony is in need of a thorough bath Cavalor Equi Wash is great for taking out all the grease and dirt, accumulated from turning out at grass.
As we have a lot of greys on the yard this season including the lightweight cob Copenhagen owned by Rowena Stevenson and the maxi cob, Correl Wood belonging to Ruth Parker it appears to be a constant round of bathing and trimming.
Correl Wood is having a great season finishing at the top of the line at BSPS Area 5 and North of England Summer shows, just missing out on his HOYS ticket when finishing second at Lincolnshire Show.
