Horse owners know that high-quality horse accessories are important. We not only offer products to meet your horse's basic daily needs, you can also find all kinds of accessories for your horse, for the stable and for you as a rider. Each horse owner decides for themselves what accessories they need in addition to the basics. This depends on various factors. Depending on the breed of horse, where the horse is kept and how exposed it is to the weather. But the equestrian discipline such as show jumping, dressage or eventing also determine the need for horse accessories.

What is the basic equipment for a horse?

Anyone who is the proud owner of their own horse needs a certain amount of basic equipment. Even though horses and riders naturally have individual needs, there are a few products that almost every horse owner has. In everyday life, riders and horses need a few basic equipment and horse accessories.

First of all, you need a halter and a lead rope. The halter should fit well and neither cut in nor be too loose so that the horse can free itself from it. There are halters in countless variations, colors, designs and sizes. So there is something for every taste, but also for every horse and every budget.

In addition, every horse owner should have a grooming kit with various grooming and care products. In addition to various brushes for the horse's mane, head and body, this kit should also have a hoof pick for cleaning the hooves. The grooming products required include special coat and mane care, hoof care, shampoo and hoof care.

For small and large emergencies, it is a good idea to have a stable first aid kit on hand. Minor injuries can be treated in just a few steps, and for more serious injuries, you can provide first aid until the vet arrives. A stable first aid kit should always be stored in a dry and protected place, easily accessible to everyone, and regularly checked for expiration and completeness.

Depending on the horse and of course also on the type of horse being kept, a horse blanket may be necessary. Horse blankets are available in different designs and depending on the needs you may need a special blanket. To protect the horse from the weather and cold, you need a weatherproof and warm blanket. A sweat blanket ensures that the horse does not cool down after exercise and special magnetic field blankets can help your horse to regenerate.

Fly repellents, fly rugs and fly masks are helpful in protecting the horse from annoying insects when it is grazing. As the horse usually needs protection from flies for several hours, the material should allow sufficient air circulation to prevent unnecessary sweating. Light colors are also a good option, as they reflect sunlight rather than absorb it. Of course, both the fly rug and the fly mask should fit perfectly and neither rub nor be too loose.

What equestrian equipment does my horse need?

Equestrian sports, with its various disciplines, are as diverse as the range of equipment available. There are countless options and exactly what equipment is needed depends primarily on how the horse is used.

A perfectly fitting saddle is the basis for every rider, whether for dressage , show jumping , western riding or eventing. A saddle pad and bridle are also required for each discipline. This basic equestrian equipment is supplemented by leg protection such as various gaiters, bandages or bell boots .

Depending on the weather or the horse's state of health, it may also need a protective blanket during training. You can find out more about this in our " Horse Blankets " category.
