Just Chaps I first discovered Just Chaps about 4 years ago when I purchased my first pair of half chaps. They are the best chaps I have ever worn, a great fit, comfortable, hard wearing and machine washable. I am still using my first pair however they are a bit worn after 4 years of daily use so I have purchased another pair to wear for best. So if you are looking for a pair of half chaps that are very good value for money it is worth checking out Just Chaps.   

Racesafe Body Protector I have owned my Racesafe body protector for several years. This is the 5th Body protector I have owned and I can report it is the most comfortable one I have ever owned. This body protector is light weight and meets the highest levels of protection. The construction makes it comfortable to wear as it is very adjustable, it is made up of small independently hinged foam sections. It is important when you purchase a body protector to get specialist advice on fitting as these body protectors can be made to fit almost anyone in any colour. 

Loveson Jodhpurs I am a great fan of Loveson Jodhpurs as they are great value for money, comfortable, easy to wash, and are hard wearing. I now have many pairs as they come in a fabulous range of colours. I use mine for everyday wear at the stables, riding and competing.   

Mountain Horse Crochet Glove This classic glove I have used for riding, lunging, handling horses and day to day yard activities. They are well made, hard wearing and very comfortable. The upper part of the glove is crochet knitted and the between fingers and on the palm the glove is made of beautiful soft leather.  Excellent gloves! 

Equimins Horsey Hands Lotion This hand lotion is great stuff. I love it. My hands suffer badly from being dry and in the winter they get chapped. The Horsey Hands Lotion from Equimins has made a big difference to my hands very quickly. The first time I used it I noticed a difference to my skin and after 4 days my hands are the best they have ever been. The lotion is very quickly absorbed into the skin and it doesn’t leave an oily residue. It also smells lovely too. 

Equisafety Asprey Jacket If you are looking for a High Viz jacket then check out the Equisafety Asprey jacket. When you think of High Viz you often think of unfashionable and workman like clothing. The Equisafety Asprey jacket is a million miles away from this, it is fabulous! The jacket is beautifully designed and stylish. When wearing the jacket I received lots of compliments, the jacket has a very flattering cut. I love the careful consideration of the horse rider’s needs and detail that has gone into this jacket. The High Viz colour is broken up with areas of black and silver reflective piping details which not only help you to be seen but also make the jacket look trendy. The fabric is soft, waterproof, lightweight and easy to keep clean as it washes at 30 degrees. The jacket has useful pockets including one for your mobile phone. The jacket has a great feature to use when out hacking, it has a unique pull down warning triangle, which fastens at the sides of the jacket, you can roll it back up into the collar when not required. The Asprey jacket is my favourite jacket I use it every day and not just for occasions when High Viz is required. So to be safe, to be seen and to be fashionable an Equisafety Asprey jacket is a must have for any horse rider.
