Introducing FOMO FAZE the Brand New Award Winning Body Protector

This brand new equestrian body protector has won numerous prestigious awards and is set to revolutionise the market.

The women’s FAZE is the first in FOMO’s line of state-of-the-art equestrian body protection. It aims to enhance rider performance not inhibit it. FAZE features a unique, adjustable mechanism which works to mould it to the riders exact body shape; by limiting the space between the body and the foam which significantly reduces the margin for injury should the rider fall. The mechanism allows for adjustability to enhance comfort and safety. The soft adaptive foams instantly hardens on impact.

The outer is removable and washable. Approved BETA 2018 Level 3 body protector, which is the highest level of safety standard in the world.

Women’s FAZE RRP £299

Introducing TurmerItch from The Golden Paste Company

NEW from The Golden Paste Company and set to hit shelves in October 2020, TurmerItch™ is an exciting new equine maintenance supplement which was developed for horses and ponies with issues such as sweet itch and other skin conditions. TurmerItch combines key ingredients including Neem, Red Bush Tea and Chamomile, to help provide relief from itching and soothe the skin while Turmeric and Micronised Linseed help produce a high shine to the horse’s coat.

The active ingredients in TurmerItch™ support biting insect repulsion and help maintain reduced sensitivity which was demonstrated during trials with the supplement over a 12-month period. Also promotes coat condition and hair regrowth.

The easy to use pellets are highly palatable and by introducing this dietary system in winter before the sweet itch season begins horses should be less reactive to midges when they return.
