The much loved authentic equestrian brand Dublin, offers an excellent variety of legwear for the professional and everyday rider. The difference in each item, from material to fit and style, truly reflect on the brand’s ability to develop perfectly suitable clothing for most, if not all of the equestrian’s needs. This month we trialed three pairs of Dublin breeches, just ahead of Christmas and of course in time for winter. All different in their own way, here we’ve detailed our thoughts on each item based on fit, durability, and comfort.…

Tried and Tested: Ariat Ladies Hex Showstopper Show Shirt Everything Horse Rating – ♥♥♥♥♥ 5/5 New for 2017, the Ariat Ladies Hex Showstopper Show Shirt is stylish, yet comfortable. The entire range of Showstopper shirts boast moisture wicking technology, designed to keep any equestrian athlete comfortable in, and out, of the saddle. Ariat’s Moisture Movement Technology (MMT™) draws moisture away from the skin, transferring it to the fabric’s outer surface to evaporate quickly. On review we found the top to be hard-wearing, elasticated and the fit was according to size. The…

Tried & Tested – Grubs Socks Overall thought; Warm and comfy! The Grubs socks are hardwearing, warm and are certainly very comfy, your feet will feel pampered and looked after as soon as you put them on. Feet didn’t over heat or feel uncomfortable after a full day at the stables. They wash well without loosing their elasticity following several washes. Ideal for inside a pair of wellies or walking boots. They are fairly thick though so may not fit well under a pair of closely cut riding boots. What…

Tried & Tested – Ladies Shaped Equestrian Underwear This month Everything Horse sponsored rider, Steph Gumn, trialled the Ladies Shaped Equestrian Underwear from Calm Leisure. All of the Calm Leisure branded products are innovatively made here in the UK with those who are active, in and out of the saddle, in mind. Here’s what Steph had to say: I have been using the ladies shaped equestrian pants now for a couple of months, and I have to say how very impressed I’ve been. I wasn’t sure at first how much difference pants could…

Last month we (well our horses) were more than thrilled to receive two packs of the NEW Crunchits from Equilibrium products. Naturally, we didn’t try them ourselves, but our horses did, and they loved them. There’s plenty in each pack, and they come in a variety of different colours according to taste. Perhaps here we should let you into a little secret: even our dog loved these treats! Due to the molasses free, low sugar content, these treats are great for horses prone to laminitis. The vegetable extracts add to the…

The gilet offers a comfortable fit, which is soft to the touch and elegantly displays the Blue Chip branding. The traditional Blue Chip logo sits on the front left panel of the gilet offering a beautiful contrast of gold, red and white against the navy material. The fit is tapered to the waist and has two…

Tried and Tested Valegro Women’s Rugby Shirt The Valegro Women’s Rugby Shirt is a fabulous addition to the Valegro merchandise range, that was initially released during 2015. The rugby shirt will help keep you warm throughout the winter months and will be a fabulous addition to any equestrian wardrobe, whether kept as a collectors piece or worn throughout the year. The hallmark blueberry shade is enhanced with a rather fitting gold, as a contrast colour. This 100% cotton Landsdown rugby shirt also has an array of traditional polo shirt embroidery that…

Equisafety Dog Harness Review The Equisafety Dog Harness is available in two colours, hi-viz pink and hi-viz yellow. The harness is  fully adjustable and offers 360 degree fluorescent edging and strips, to add extra visibility with a flashing collar. There’s two lead attachments, one at the front and one on the rear strap, both are suitable for a pulling dog. We found the front was more effective. The advantage of having the lead attached to the harness and not the collar was for a dog that ‘pulls’ receives a greater force…

Elim-a-Net review The Elim-a-Net is an innovative designed haynet available from Parell Products. Designed with the overweight horse in mind, this unique design of haynet allows for a slower feeding time, which helps reduce over indulgence, digestive upset and general stable boredom. The smaller than average triangular holes reduce the amount of hay, or haylage, that can be taken at any one time, thus regulating forage intake. The holes in the net are made smaller by the strike through of an almost inner net, which is great for minimising waste.…

T&T Equestrian Hoodies How many of us have seen a slogan we want to wear? A lot of companies produce equestrian slogan clothing but Equestrian Hoodies go that one step further. They produce a number of different clothing items with different colours and designs. We trailed the long style hoodie and the high visibility design and can say we were pleasantly surprised with both. The products were delivered beautifully packaged and with sweets for you and your equine friend! A lot of thought has gone into their deliveries and it has…
