Winter can be a tricky time for everyone, but surviving winter as an equestrian certainly comes with it’s own challenges…
Frozen hands filling haynets, dark gloomy days and chilblains, what a glamorous life we equestrians live!
Here are some of our favourite products to make surviving winter as an equestrian much easier!
(in no particular order.. But yes, the first one is for your horses benefit not yours)
- Weatherbeeta Thermocell Quarter Sheet
RRP: £54.99

We love how easy this quarter sheet is to put on and off, touch tape straps attach to the girth straps on the saddle making this super simple to remove at home or at competitions. The shape of this sheet means there is no extra bulk between you and your horse, yet it will still keep your horses back lovely and warm. Ideal for clipped horses on those chilly days.
