What inspired this calmmunch fibre block?
As a company focused on the horses’ wellbeing, Equilibrium thought it was only right to look at the mental and nutritional wellbeing of our equine friends too!
What is in calmmunch?
Made with only the best ingredients, our calmmunch fibre blocks are made from slow dried timothy hay so to maintain its fresh, succulent flavour. Fortified with carefully selected ingredients which are well known for their calming properties.
Camomile – traditionally used to help with nervous tension and support digestion.
Hops – traditionally used for restlessness or excitability.
Timothy Hay – naturally high in fibre and low in sugar, and super tasty!
Who is it for?
While all horses can enjoy a calmmunch block due to its high fibre and low sugar content, it may be of most benefit to:
• Horses who are nervous or anxious.
• During stressful situations – change of routine, yard, farrier, etc.
• When travelling.
• At competitions.
• Horses on box rest.
• As a distraction when companions go out.
Ways to feed calmmunch fibre blocks.
There is no right or wrong way, it’s whatever works for your horse.
As most horses are keen to try gobble it down, feeding calmmunch in a specialised munch net can help slow down those eager feeders. You can also place it in the middle of their normal haynet, so they spend time trying to hunt down the tasty treat!
For oldies whose teeth don’t quite do as well as they used to, or all horses in the winter, soaking the munch block will see it evolve into a warm, tasty bowl full of delicious goodness, right in front of your eyes!
It can of course be fed in the field or stable on its own on the ground or in a bowl. The highly compressed nature of the block will naturally slow eating down and act as a boredom breaker too!

Equi-Chaps Close Contact Turnout Chaps
Save time, maintain healthy skin, and keep mud away with these turnout boots which help keep legs clean in the field.
Breathable turnout boots which are great to help protect the horses’ legs from mud, wet and cold in the field.
Close Contact Chaps:
• Offer maximum coverage, extending from below the knee/hock down to the coronet band.
• Save precious time in the winter months with less cleaning.
• Maintain healthy skin, providing a barrier from the winter elements.
• Allow your horse to move freely in the field with their flexible, soft material with four-way stretch.
What inspired the Close Contact Turnout Boots?
Winter conditions can be tough on horses’ legs. One horse’s story stayed with Equilibrium, where he physically couldn’t go out in the field because of the wet and mud and the effect it had on his legs. As we horse owners know – turnout is an important part of a horses’ routine for both their physical and mental wellbeing. The winter weather can be relentless, and therefore the Close Contact Turnout Boots were born. They are designed as a second skin on the horses’ leg while keeping them protected from the mud, wet and cold.
What material is used in the Close Contact Boots?
These close-fitting turnout boots are made from perforated neoprene. This helps keep legs cool with their breathable material. They also feature a four-way stretch, which is essential. As horses wear these boots in the field, there is a lot of movement involved. The boots are designed to stay in place but allow the horse to move freely too.
Why do the Close Contact Chaps fit so far down the leg?
For maximum coverage and protection from the elements, the Close Contact Chaps extend from below the knee/hock all the way down to the coronet band. This means the correct size is essential to ensure the entire lower leg is protected.
Do the Close Contact Turnout Boots also provide protection in the field?
The Close Contact Chaps do provide some protection towards brushing and overreach injuries, but as they are primarily designed to promote good skin health, the material is not too thick to ensure breathability.
Who are the Close Contact Turnout Boots for?
These turnout boots are perfect for horse owners who would like to:
• Keep legs clean in the field.
• Protect their horses’ legs against mud and wet in the field.
• Offer gentle protection to their horses’ legs in the field with a breathable boot.
• Save time in their winter routine.
Please note, these boots are not suitable for horses with a neoprene allergy.
Caring for the Close Contact Turnout Chaps:
The cleaner you can keep these chaps when placing them onto your horses’ legs, the better! Machine washable at 30 degrees, and quick to dry means they are easy to care for. However, for day to day, giving them a quick wash off once your horse has come in is best practice if they are particularly muddy. While they do dry quickly, having a second set on standby can help if the weather is particularly bad, cold, and wet!

Equi-Chaps Hardy Turnout Chaps
Tough turnout protection for field hooligans for the entire lower leg, all the way to the coronet band.
The Hardy Chaps:
• Are ideal for boisterous, playful, or accident-prone horses in the field.
• Offer maximum coverage, extending from below the knee/hock down to the coronet band.
• Save precious time in the winter months with less cleaning.
• Maintain healthy skin, providing a barrier from the winter elements.
• Easy to wash and quick to dry.
What inspired the Hardy Turnout Boots?
These tough turnout chaps were made as a result from a request from a popular dressage yard. As some competition yards do, the horses had limited turnout. So, when the horses did go out, you can image they threw some shapes! Hardy Chaps were designed to help them enjoy their field time, safely.
What material is used in the Hardy Chaps Turnout Boots?
The 7mm neoprene, lined on the outside with a textured fabric and with polyester on the inside, is tough on the outside and comfortable on the inside protecting your horse from potential injury. The material is fast drying, so they are easy to wash mud off and dry for the following day.
Why do the Hardy Chaps fit so far down the leg.
For maximum coverage and protection, the Hardy Chaps extend from below the knee/hock all the way down to the coronet band. This means the correct size is essential to ensure the entire lower leg is protected.
Who are the Hardy Turnout Boots for?
These turnout boots are perfect for horse owners who would like to:
• Keep legs clean in the field.
• Protect their horses’ legs against mud and wet in the field.
• Help protect against leg injuries in the field.
• Save time in their winter routine.
• Keep their older horses’ legs and joints warmer in the winter months.
These boots are not suitable for horses with a neoprene allergy. You should limit the time worn in warmer weather due to their thick material.
Caring for the Hardy Chaps:
Machine washable at 30 degrees, and quick to dry means they are easy to care for. However, for day to day, giving them a quick wash off once your horse has come in is best practice if they are particularly muddy. While they do dry quickly, having a second set on standby can help if the weather is particularly bad, cold, and wet!

Equi-Chaps Stable Chaps
A quick alternative to bandages, these stable boots are designed to keep horses’ legs clean, warm, and comfortable.
Experience next level comfort with the stable chaps for horses. An alternative to stable bandages, the Stable Chaps:
• Keep legs clean in the stable.
• Offer gentle compression, similar to a bandage.
• Encase the lower leg from below the knee/hock to the coronet band.
• Keep legs and joints warm in the colder months.
• Easy to wash and quick to dry.
What inspired the Stable Boots?
Winter conditions can be tough on horses’ legs. We wanted to provide a simple solution for horse owners to keep their horses comfortable when standing in the stable, but convenient to use too.
What material is used in the Stable Chaps?
The inner liner is made from a soft fabric which is particularly useful when the horse has come in from the field cold and wet or after exercise. It also ensures that the horse remains comfortable when left in the Stable Chaps overnight.
The outer fabric is smooth which helps to repel shavings, straw, dust, and dirt and is easy to clean and wash.
Why do the Stable Chaps fit so far down the leg?
For maximum coverage and protection, the Stable Chaps extend from below the knee/hock all the way down to the coronet band.
Who are the Stable Chaps for?
These stable boots are perfect for horse owners who would like to:
• Keep legs clean in the stable.
• Use an alternative to bandages without the faff.
• Provide compression for horses who experience filled legs.
• Help protect against knocks and scuffs in the stable.
• Keep their older horses’ legs and joints warmer in the winter months; especially for those who suffer from arthritis.
• Help dry off horses’ legs after being in the field or ridden.
Caring for the Stable Chaps
Machine washable at 30 degrees, and quick to dry means they are easy to care for. Keeping them clean will help to maintain good skin health.

Give the gift of choice with our Equilibrium Gift Card. Perfect for any occasion, it allows the recipient to pick out their own special gift.

Ideal for horses with pink or sensitive noses, who need UV protection, or those who are extremely sensitive to flies or midges around their muzzle. The Field Relief Nose Piece attaches easily to any fly mask within the Field Relief Range.
• With 1 year product guarantee
• Over 70% UV protection
• Designed with a simple but strong hook and loop attachment

The inspiration behind the Field Relief Detachable Nosepiece.

We recognise that every horse is an individual with their own preferences. Some may like ears on a fly mask. Some may not. Others may need a nosepiece, while others don’t. Our Field Relief additions such as the Detachable Nosepiece, or the Muzzle Fringe, give you the option to tailor your horses fly mask to what they need and prefer!

The design of this horse fly mask nosepiece.

This simple yet effective product is designed to attach to our Field Relief Max, Field Relief Midi or Field Relief Midi Without Ears by a simple hook and loop (otherwise known to most as ‘Velcro’) attachment. Not to fear though, this attachment, if kept clean, is very strong for horses who do like to challenge their fly masks durability! Simply ‘stick’ the nosepiece onto your Field Relief Fly Mask and you’re ready to go! Why not buy our handy Hook Cleaner too to keep the straps clean and functioning!
Also available is our Muzzle Fringe, allowing fly protection over the muzzle without covering it completely.

Field Relief Max Fly Mask
Combining the best protection against summer irritants with exceptional comfort for your horse, there’s a reason this fly mask was Horse & Rider’s Best in Test on more than one occasion.

The difference is in the detail with this full-face UV fly mask! Equilibrium looked at every detail when it came to creating this popular fly mask, to ensure it is not only effective against flies, but also comfortable for your horse to wear all day. Plus, it covers your horses entire face from ears to nose!
Features include:
• Protection from harmful UV rays with over 70% protection.
• Padded nose and brow for comfort.
• Close fitting to keep flies out.
• Eye darts to allow ample clearance of eyes and eyelashes.
• Horse shaped ears.
• Detachable nose piece.
The mask is constructed from tough UV protective mesh, blocking out over 70% of harmful UV rays, whilst the rigidness of the mesh over the face allows it to sit away from the face and keep it structured.
Comfort is key for when a horse is wearing a product for longer periods of time, so having adjustable fastenings and elasticated bindings allow for the mask to fit securely and not move and irritate your horse; as well as featuring a soft padding at the nose and brow.
Equilibrium also investigated the little details to ensure maximum comfort, providing full protection from ears to nose. Therefore our ‘horse-shaped’ ears are generous for those who need a little more room; similarly, if your horse is sensitive around his nose, the detachable nose piece allows for extra protection for those who are pinked skinned or more at risk to sun burn!
What inspired the Equilibrium Max Full Face Fly Mask for horses?
Timmy, who if you haven’t heard of him before, is the reason behind Equilibrium Products. He was a very sensitive soul who started head shaking as a youngster. This led to the development of a fly mask that would fully cover his face and the Field Relief Max was developed.
Equilibrium fly masks all carry a one-year guarantee but most last for several seasons. Long lasting and easy to wash, the Field Relief Max Fly Mask comes in a variety of sizes from ponies to large horses. The Field Relief Max Fly Mask also provides excellent visibility so is ideal for veterans, visually impaired and spooky horses!

Field Relief Fly Rug

Made with your horse’s comfort in mind, the Field Relief Fly Rug will keep your horse protected from the flies while remaining cool and able to move freely in the field. With a unique hexagonal pattern tested to reduce fly landings by 51% on average when compared to other fly rugs*.

Featuring:

●        Anti-rub lining.

●        Wither pressure relief panel.

●        Shoulder relief shaping

●        90% UVB protection.

●        Elasticated surcingles with belly flap.

●        Extra-large tail flap.

●        Contoured back shaping.

The inspiration behind the Field Relief Horse Fly Rug

We had a few requirements we wanted to address with the Field Relief Fly Rug. First and foremost was comfort. As a rug your horse wears for long periods of time and moves around in all day (and potentially all night), we wanted a rug that would fit from ears to tail for full protection, allow your horse to move and keep them cool. Features like our unique shoulder shaping, as well as our wither relief panel and anti-rub lining, offers space and allows your horse to move with ease.

Secondly, we tested several colours and patterns to see which one flies liked landing on the least! The monochrome hexagonal print had less than half the amount of fly landings when compared to other plain and coloured rugs*, and therefore influenced our design.

What is it made of?

The rug is made up of different panels to allow relief and ease of movement through the high movement areas, as well as those at risk of rubbing.

A quick dry, silky panel lines the top of the neck allows a snug fit for protection against flies while preventing against rubbing. The use of a separate Lycra panel also eliminates the need for a silky satin lining inside the fly rug mesh, offering a more breathable option with less material.

This neck panel then feeds down to the wither relief panel which is designed so there are no seems on the sensitive and prominent wither area.

Going down from this is our unique shoulder relief shaping, made with extra material to allow your horses shoulder to move without restriction.

The mesh of the rug is designed to be closed enough to restrict biting insects, but open enough to keep the horse cool when the temperatures are warmer. Finally, the material protects against the sun’s harmful rays, offering 77% UVA and 90% UVB protection.

Who is this UV protective fly rug for?

●        Horses with a UV sensitivity.

●        Horses sensitive to fly irritation.

●        Horses who bleach in the sun.

●        Horses prone to sweet itch.

●        Horses who get warm easily.

●        Sensitive horses prone to rubbing.

*Field Relief Fly Rug Testing Results

Our aim was to determine which fabric print or colour choice had the least amount of fly landings. While this testing was conducted by ourselves in the development stage of the fly rug product, our test method was based on a combination of the methods used by the professors from the University of Bristol and other previous studies that investigated fly landings on cattle.

We tested a total of 6 different fabrics of identical size and created baited ‘landing zones’ for flies. We recorded these zones for a total of 6 hours, before repeating this on 3 separate occasions and an average was taken from this. 

 The results showed that our monochrome hexagonal design had significantly fewer landings than most other compared prints and colours.

Field Relief Max Donkey Fly Mask
The same great Field Relief Fly Mask Max from Equilibrium but designed specifically with donkeys in mind!

Features include:
• Protection from harmful UV rays with over 70% protection.
