Bucas Competition Cooler

Keep chills at bay while out at competitions during the Spring months with the Bucas Competition Cooler.

The bottom half of the rug is made from a mesh that is designed to encourage airflow around the horse aiding its cooling and wicking properties.

This cooler is perfect for travelling to and from competitions and popping over the saddle while waiting around in the warm up arena. The Competition Cooler reduces the risk of catching a chill and is an important part of your horse’s wardrobe.

Shoulder darts ensure a good fit and plenty of shoulder room, while a low friction outer finish helps to prevent bedding from sticking. An overlapping front provides comfort and prevents rubbing from straps and fasteners, so you can rest assured your horse will be warm and cozy whatever the occasion.

The Competition Cooler has two detachable and adjustable surcingles on the inside to keep the rug in place letting you choose how to use them. You can just use one straight across the horses’ girth area to keep in place while out at a competition or both of them for extra security when in the stable

Sizes: 125cm – 170cm

Colours Navy/Silver (plus new SS 2014 seasonal colours - Antelope and Ochre)

A group of nine retailers were invited on a trip to Germany to visit the home of leading bit manufacturer, Sprenger, courtesy of Zebra Products Ltd.
The visit included a trip to the company's head office and factory, where the group got to see the full manufacture process – from design to production.
'We had a great trip to Sprenger,' said Kathryn Jacquet from RB Equestrian. 'Not only was it fascinating to see the vast amount of physical effort that goes into producing each bit, it was also interesting to have an insight into the research and development behind each Sprenger product.' Victoria Highfield, from Online for Equine echoed Kathryn's comments; 'Understanding the in-depth manufacturing process has helped us to understand why the products are so unique and has demonstrated why Sprenger are the market leaders. The trip has helped to improve our sales figures as our staff are far better informed when it comes to discussing the bits with customers.'
While Erica Leeson from Harley Equestrian added; 'A fascinating and informative visit to the Sprenger head office and factory, which leaves me in no doubt that Sprenger should be every riders' first choice.'

Leading saddle manufacturer Amerigo has extended its Vega line with two new dressage saddles.
