Your horse's equipment really does depend on where your horse lives, what breed he is and how he is kept. For this post, I will be covering the things I own for my sports horses who are partly stabled and are clipped in the winter.
Everyday
- Head collar and lead rope (I always have spares of these!)
- Fly mask (I prefer the ones that cover the whole face rather than other kinds!)
- Grazing Muzzle
Travelling
- Travelling boots
- Tail bandage
- Poll protector
- Fleece
- Leather Headcollar
- Quick release lead rope
Rugs
- fleece (I use this as a lightweight stable rug and drying off horses)
- Mediumweight stable rug
- Heavyweight stable rug
- Fly rug (I usually get ones that have UV protection!)
- Lightweight turn out rug
- Mediumweight turn out rug
- Heavyweight turn out rug
- Under rug
- Turnout boots (I recommend these so much! They have really protected my horse's legs from cuts and the mud in the winter!)
- Stable boots or pads and bandages (I bought one part for my horses. I use the front ones on my smaller horse's back legs and the back ones on my larger horse, I only put on the back to reduce filled legs).
- Over-reach boots (for horses who overreach or with strenuous work).
- Medicine or dressage boots (for schooling, hacking and dressage).
- Brushing boots or Tendon boots (I prefer tendon boots for jumping).
- Ice boots
