There’s a chilly breeze in the air and indoor shows are starting up again – which means it’s time to gear up for the season to come. The summer flew by and suddenly it’s time to get prepared for dropping temperatures! The best way to start your winter preparation process is by assessing what you already have in order to decide what you need. As a rule of thumb, we recommend going through your tack trunk first to get the best idea of what you currently have stocked. Then, it’s time to shop! We’ve pulled together our fall and winter gear essentials to make the shopping process easier for you.
Ear Plugs
Holy, INDOORS. Whether your horse is a seasoned competitor or new to the show ring, competing indoors can be a stressful experience. Between echoing walls and bright lights, sometimes your horse just needs a little internal silence to hone in on the task at hand.
When it comes to earplugs, you can never have too many. POMMS Ear Plugs allow your horse to hear normal tones while greatly reducing distracting or loud noises. POMMS “comfort plus” design protects your horse’s sensitive ears from wind, water, and debris. They are washable, reusable, comfortable, non-irritating, soft, pliable, discreet, durable, and won’t fall out.
Rider Gloves
It’s easy to take that one pair of gloves a little too far, and suddenly you’re walking to the ring with a hole by your pinky finger. Make sure your hands are set for the new season with the right pair of gloves.
Rider Gloves from Roeckl protect your hands from painful rubs and calluses while also helping to improve your grip on the reins. These hand-stitched gloves are fitted with an easy, secure Velcro closure. Roeckl’s classic hand logo provides a sleek, classic look that is perfect for the show ring or schooling at home. Roeck-Grip Gloves also feature touchscreen-compatible material, so you can continue to text and type in between rides without removing your gloves.
Jacket Weather
If you look good, you feel good, and nothing says that better than when you’re wearing a top-quality show jacket. Let your attire speak for itself in the ring this fall in the Alessandro Albanese Show Jacket.
The Alessandro Albanese Motion Lite Show Jacket is an award-winning, designer women’s jacket with the quality you expect from Alessandro Albanese. The jacket’s breathable material is perfect for any discipline and climate, keeping you comfortable while still providing complete opacity. With a flattering fit, multiple colors, and easy cleaning, the Alessandro Albanese Motion Lite Show Jacket is the only jacket you’ll need for any and all equestrian events.
Stay Cozy and Stylish
Want to stay warm and look good while doing it?
The Baker Plaid Scarf offers the perfect accessory to match with your horse this season. With a 100% double cotton weave in classic Baker plaid, this scarf belongs in every equestrian’s winter wardrobe. Sized at 7 inches wide by 6ft long and machine washable, the Baker scarf will be your go-to winter accessory for years to come.
Fierce in Fleece
After a summer of sweat, fleece girths will quickly turn a dull white and become severely matted. Make sure your horse’s tack is looking its best with a fresh fleece girth.
The Essential Sheepswool Girth by Equifit was designed for your horse’s easy, comfortable, everyday use. Made with durable material and double-elastic ends, this girth is easy to adjust from both sides of the horse. The soft Sheepswool liner of this girth is hypoallergenic and breathable, allowing for heat transfer away from the body and effective moisture wicking during use. Last but not least, the liner is removable for easy machine washing.
