The unique, innovative design ensures a softer aid for horses, thanks to the positioning of the rowel and its increased thickness. Favorites with Michael and Maria Eilberg, the spurs are ideal for horses with more sensitive skin or when their coat is changing as they don't mark.

As with all Sprenger spurs the Comfort Rollers fit perfectly to your riding boots, without any pressure or movement, to ensure maximum effect.

The spurs are available in Ultra Fit, RRP £66.40 and Ultra Fit Extra Grip (rubber covered), RRP £81.66.

Italian saddle brand Amerigo has launched a new jump saddle - the CC Basso.
The first saddle specially designed for horses that have a lot of compensation in their backs and a straighter topline, the Basso combines technology with supreme craftsmanship.(Compensation is the difference in height between the withers and the lowest part of the back.)
Each saddle comes complete with a wooden spring tree and wool flocked panels and is handmade according to the needs of horse and rider, to ensure their well being and improve performance.
The Basso is available as Pinerolo, Pinerolo Monoflap, plain or printed refined leather, with a choice of knee rolls, and there is also a forward flap option. RRP: £3,400 for Pinerolo versions or £3,300 for plain leather.
The quality and function of Amerigo saddles is constantly tested and perfected across all disciplines, and they are now the preferred choice of many top equestrian athletes including Sam Griffiths, Nicola Wilson and Billy Twomey. The Amerigo saddle collection offers a selection of different models for both dressage and jumping, as well as a wide range of choices to ensure a perfect fit for both horse and rider.

New From Bucas

The Ultimate rain and fly turnout rug from Bucas 

Hot on the heels of outstanding success in 2013 with the launch of the Bucas Zebra Fly Rug, the brand has launched a hybrid rain and fly sheet just in time for the 2014 Sweet Itch Season.

The Bucas Buzz-Off Rain Zebra is an innovative combination of the waterproof and breathable properties of their proven rain-sheet with the hugely successful Zebra pattern printed fly mesh.

This hybrid rug is perfectly shaped in a Black, waterproof and breathable rip stop nylon, to protect the back, shoulders and hindquarters from the rain. The sides of the rug which are generous in length are in the unique zebra stripe which repels flying insects. Research was carried out by scientists, that proves that the zebra stripe actually protects the animal as flies are confused by the pattern, avoiding it.

The Bucas Buzz off Rain Zebra is the ultimate in quality. It comes with a detachable and adjustable zebra stripe belly pad to ensure the horse is completely protected from the flies. It is secured with a comfort, overlapped padded front and has a new tail cover design that incorporates a tail flap over the top of shaped back panels to provide even more protection from flies.

An additional Buzz-Off Rain Zebra Combi-Neck is also available to attach to the sheet. This has the Black waterproof, breathable fabric running down the mane area with the sides and under neck being made from the zebra mesh. This Combi neck secures firmly to the rug with hook & loop attachments and covers the horse from the top of the ears with an elasticated head band to keep it in place

Both fabrics in the Bucas Buzz-Off Rain Zebra and matching Combi-Neck ensure your horse is comfortable, dry and bite free.

So next time you can’t decide fly rug or rain sheet – you can have both.

These innovative functional fetlock boots help to improve performance thanks to their effect on the horse’s hind leg action, and are popular with leading showjumpers including; Bertram Allen, Marcus Ehning and Pius Schwizer. Meanwhile the anatomically shaped guard protects the fetlock, while the VENTO system, characterised by double ventilation, keeps the horse’s tendons cool as the heat is channelled to the outside by the 3D mesh ducted fabric. The boots are also waterproof.
The pro-jump short vento boots come in two options – either with interchangeable Velcro straps or with elastic straps and are available in medium and large, black or brown, RRP £115.

With many horses having less room in their mouths to accommodate thick bits, especially in double bridles, the need for streamline models was recognised by the leading bit manufacturer.

Committed to safety and comfort of the horse, Sprenger undertook intensive research to ensure that these new slimmer versions wouldn't break under pressure. Both bits are manufactured using Sprenger's unique Sensogan material to give a more delicate and sophisticated connection to the horse.

• Novocontact. Its unique oval shape design widens the contact area of the mouthpiece on the horse's tongue, without putting pressure on the palate. Ideal for horses with sensitive mouths.
• HO Weymouth. Its slanting mouthpiece and a smooth, rounded port is angled forward to give even distribution of pressure on the tongue. Suitable for horses that dislike tongue pressure.

Novocontact bradoon from RRP £95 and, Ho Weymouth from RRP £265.

The uvex winter ear warmers slot simply into the sides of the helmet, keeping the cold, wind and rain out.

RRP: £24.95
