What inspired the Tri-Zone All Sports Boots?
Brushing boots are traditionally used across all disciplines. However, in general, they tend to only provide protection from brushing and are made from a non-breathable neoprene. Equilibrium wanted to create something that could truly be used for any activity, with all round protection. Alongside this protection, Equilibrium wanted to ensure maximum comfort for the horse, as well as taking into account leg health. Therefore, the super lightweight, breathable, flexible, and protective boot known as All Sports Boots was born!
Protection provided by the All Sports Boots for horses.
The boot design uses a four-layer system, each chosen for their unique properties.
The first layer is providing an inner lining that sits against the horses' leg. Made from perforated EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate), the liner sits comfortably against the leg. The perforations allow heat to escape and aids breathability, while the flexibility of the material allows it to mould to the horses' leg.
Layer two is a strong nylon mesh. This adds another layer of protection to the sports boots, but also stops any debris making its way into the boot towards your horses' leg.
Layer three is the internal guard made from vinyl - a strong, durable and moisture resistant material. This layer is placed over the vulnerable tendon area and is made with strips of material to allow it to mould around the horses leg. This allows the horse to move freely without the feeling of a ‘splint’.
Lastly, the outer layer is an EVA waffle. Commonly used in the soles of human shoes and as padding on sports equipment, this material is durable, breathable, and protective! We’ve made sure it's easy to clean and maintain too!
Who are Tri-Zone All Sports Boots for?
Anyone can use Tri-Zone All Sports Boots! However here are a few scenarios they are commonly used in:
• As a breathable turnout boot.
• A lightweight cross country with internal tendon protection.
• A hacking or endurance boot that doesn't hold water.
• A comfortable flatwork boot offering all round protection.
• As a durable and long-lasting everyday boot.
How do I care for the Tri-Zone All Sports Boot?
Machine washable at 30 degrees, so you can quickly and easily clean your boots. Our Hook Cleaner Brush can also help keep your straps debris free and prolong their life.
Or for quick day to day care, you can give them a short rinse on the yard and leave them to dry ready for the next day.

What is the inspiration behind the Tri-Zone Brushing Boots?
As preventing horses’ legs from overheating is such a ‘hot’ topic, we wanted to create a brushing boot that moved away from the traditional neoprene to something that is scientifically tested to fulfil its role protecting the leg from brushing related injuries, while remaining as breathable as possible. While the Tri-Zone All Sports Boots are very breathable, not every horse or activity warrants maximum or all round protection, so a durable and lightweight brushing boot was the solution.
What are the materials used in the Tri-Zone Brushing Boots?
Inner Layer: The spacer fabric on the inside of the boot creates a soft lining against your horses’ leg. Ideal to act as a ‘cushion’ and comfortable to wear, the spacer fabric is also fantastic at letting heat and moisture pass through easily to get sweat and warmth away from the skin. This fabric doesn’t hold water, to ensure they stay lightweight even when wet!
Outer Layer: EVA material is commonly found in the soles of human shoes and as padding on sports equipment - this material is durable, breathable, and protective. We’ve made sure it's easy to clean and maintain too. Tested in a laboratory to withstand a considerable amount of brushing action, the EVA is abrasion and scratch resistant, doesn’t hold any water and offers great impact protection.
Who are the Tri-Zone Brushing Boots for?
In short, the Tri-Zone Brushing Boots are for everyone. Due to the breathable and protective properties of the boot they can be for flatwork, hacking, can even splash through water without the boots becoming heavy as they do not with hold water, or turnout in all conditions.
The breathable material makes them perfect for all year round especially in hot weather, unlike traditional neoprene brushing boots, the Tri-Zone Brushing Boots provide good ventilation to keep your horses legs cool and are the most breathable boot within our range.
Due to their design and the sizes available, they fit a wide variety of horses too – from those with little bone to horses with feather. Their design also allows for free movement of the fetlock – a high motion joint that plays a fundamental part in how your horse moves.
How do I care for the Tri-Zone Brushing Boots?
The boots can be washed off with a rinse from the hose or if needing a slightly more thorough wash, they are machine washable at 30 degrees Celsius. Leave them to air dry away from a direct heat source and they will be dry and ready to use in no time!
How do I fit the Brushing Boots?
- Take measurements. Most boot brands will offer boots in sizes ‘small’, ‘medium’ and ‘large’ or ‘pony’, ‘cob’ and ‘full’, but these can be rather abstract terms (as many of us will have experienced when trying to shop for clothes – one shop’s ‘small’ is another’s ‘extra-large’!), so having an idea of your horse or pony’s actual measurements can help. We’d recommend measuring both front and hind legs, as it is very common for horses to take different sizes for both. See our size guide for measurements for these boots.
- When putting the boots on, with the longer part on the inside of your horses’ leg covering the inside of the fetlock joint, slide the boot down the cannon bone until you should feel the boot ‘fit’ into place as the front of the boot comes down to meet the top of the fetlock joint.
- Correct ‘tension’. One finger should fit snugly between the top of the boot and the horse's leg. If the boot is too tight it could rub the horse's skin, or cause damage to the tendons. If the boot is too loose it could move around or down the leg
Why use Brushing Boots?
Brushing Boots are a popular choice of boot to protect the horse’s lower leg during exercise from ‘brushing’ injuries. These are injuries that may occur if one leg, or hoof, strikes the opposite leg. Brushing boots can also provide protection from minor scrapes and injuries during schooling, hacking, or turnout. This modern brushing boot is also lightweight, durable and the most cost-effective boot for everyday use.
Does your horse need more protection than a Brushing Boot can offer?
Depending on your horse and what you do with them, they might need more protection. While they are a great tack room staple, Brushing Boots are great for protection against brushing, but not too much else. With an advancement in materials, some boots are made from highly breathable materials, while offering more all round protection. Take a look at the Tri-Zone All Sports Boots for example. These boots not only offer all round protection, but specific tendon protection too. This might be useful when jumping, doing fast work, or on a big moving horse.

Massage Pad Testing:
Equilibrium take pride in researching and testing their products. The Equilibrium Massage Pad was independently tested by Myerscough College in Lancashire, UK.
There were two parts to the study:
1) The horses were measured for signs of stress / relaxation immediately before, during and after the application of the massage pads over a six-week period
2) The horses were assessed in terms of flexibility and suppleness. There were two groups of horses – a treated group and a control group.
Test Methods
Back flexibility was assessed using the ‘Arch Dip Test’. The Arch & Dip test is a reliable and proven indicator of back flexibility (Pelham & Schobesberger 2006). It involves the use of pressure stimulus to generate a reflex in the horses’ back. Pressure applied to a specific region in the spinal area results in the horse ‘dipping’ away from the pressure, with a more flexible back allowing the horse to exhibit a greater ability to dip away from the source of the pressure. The arch test involves the application of pressure to the horses’ midline, in order to stimulate an upwards arch reflex in the horses’ back away from the source of pressure. Similarly, a more flexible back allows the horse to exhibit a greater ability to arch the back upwards away from the source of the pressure.
The results, following six weeks of testing, showed that the massage pad offers significant benefits to horses. A significant increase in back flexibility and relaxation was noted, but it also showed an increase in stride length.
Increased Flexibility
Massage helps to promote flexibility in healthy muscle tissue, fascia, and other soft tissue fibres. The effects of massage on flexibility can be measured using the 'Arch Dip' test to determine the amount of upwards or downwards bend of the horses' back. Test results from the trials demonstrated an overall improvement in back flexibility of approximately 46%.
Stride Length
The trial showed that the stride length of the treated horses increased over the period of the test by 12cms, whereas the control group showed little improvement. Horse owners know that a small change in stride length can make a major difference to the way of going in a horse!
Promoting Relaxation
Using a heart rate monitor, horses wearing the Equilibrium Massage Pad showed an increase in relaxation compared to the horses in the control group.
The results after 6 weeks of testing indicate that 1) the horses appeared more relaxed and 2) the performance of the horse would be expected to improve due to the increased flexibility of the horses’ back muscles. Relaxed muscles will assist with flexibility and movement in particular for competition horses performing dressage movements and jumping technical fences.
How does the Standard Massage Pad work?
The control panel allows you to select low, medium, or high settings and as a result, you can choose the intensity of the program to suit your pony. Each program runs through a cycle of three different types of massage – pulsing, vibration, and stroking –to ensure all muscles are worked in different ways.
Choosing your setting:
• LOW for cool down after exercise, for a sensitive horse or to introduce the pad to your pony for the first time.
• MEDIUM to warm up the muscles prior to exercise or for general maintenance.
• HIGH if your pony prefers a more intense massage.
The massage pad will run for 30 minutes before turning itself off automatically however, you can manually turn it off sooner if needed.
It can be used on its own or in conjunction with the hand-held Massage Mitt for an all over massage, or the Massage Mitt Hotspot to combine heat and massage.
When to use the Standard Massage Pad?
In short, you can use the Standard Massage Pad before riding, after riding or on a day off! Here’s a few scenarios:
• Horses on box rest to maintain good circulation.
• After exercise to help support recovery.
• Before exercise as part of warm up.
• At a show after travelling to relax.
• On your horses day off as general maintenance.
• Anytime as a reward.
Crafted with a smart, weather-proof material and backed by scientific testing, the Stellar All-Weather Safety Headcollar is ideal for daily use, competitions, and as a field-safe option.
Key Features of the Stellar Headcollar:
- Reusable and replaceable safety release system tailored to your horses’ size and weight.
- Scientifically tested for reliability.
- User tested for fit and ease of use.
- Constructed from PVC with high-grade metal fittings for durability and weather resistance.

Inspiration Behind the Design of Stellar:
Driven by a commitment to equine welfare and safety, Equilibrium embarked on a journey to investigate headcollar standards, a piece of equipment used daily by most horse owners. The survey findings were startling, showcasing alarming injury rates. This ignited the start of a commitment to delve deeper into headcollar testing and safety.
At Equilibrium we are dedicated to continuously evaluating and developing our products. After conducting a thorough examination of headcollar safety and incorporating valuable feedback from our dedicated customer-base, an opportunity was highlighted to further elevate the Stellar All-Weather Headcollar design to offer a tailored release system, which is appropriate for the individual horse’s size and weight. The Safety Release System is now located on the right side of the headcollar allowing for easy replacement no longer needing to replace the whole headpiece, but also allowing for easy adjustability.
Headcollar Safety Survey Results:
Equilibrium commissioned Dr David Marlin to conduct a survey. Answered by 5615 horse owners*, the survey aimed to find out their experience with using headcollars. This included how often they used them, what types were used, how they were used and the problems associated with them.
The results were surprising.
• Almost 1 out of 3 people experienced a horse being injured as a result of a headcollar.
• More than 1 in 7 people have been injured in a headcollar related incident.
• There were 167 horse fatalities as a result of a headcollar.
Unsurprisingly the majority of incidents happened tied outside, closely followed by in the field.
These results demonstrated that perhaps, headcollars should be investigated in more depth…

Scientific Testing of Headcollars:
To explore headcollar safety further, Equilibrium commissioned Dr. David Marlin to test the release points of different types of headcollars and tying up devices, including baling twine. The results showed a great variation, from some tie up aids releasing as low as 9kg, to some headcollars releasing as high as over 600kg - more than the average horses’ weight.
Find the full research paper here: https://doi.org/10.1177/17543371211039610
Equilibrium conducted more testing to develop this concept further using a tensile machine. Different lengths of straps were tested to measure their maximum load before releasing. This allowed the appropriate strap and release weight to be matched with the ideal horse size, with the average release rates being based on 10-15% of the horse’s or pony’s weight. Therefore, the different headcollar sizes are set to release at an average of:
Small/Pony Headcollar = 45kg.
Medium/Cob Headcollar = 58kg.
Large/Horse Headcollar = 68kg.
Extra Large Headcollar = 83kg.
The release system is tested to release consistently, up to 10 times. Equilibrium recommends that the safety strap is replaced after 10 pulls (or if the Velcro is not adhering well) to ensure efficiency of the strap.

What is the inspiration behind the Impact Sports Boot?
There are so many things to consider when purchasing horse boots, that we wanted to offer a boot where you didn't have to compromise at all. Generally if you go for a hard shell/very protective boot, it can be heavy, inflexible and unbreathable. Likewise, a lightweight boot might be more breathable and flexible, but won't offer the protection that is needed. The Impact Sports Boots offers protection that is tested to withstand overreaching, hitting a cross country fence, etc, yet still retains all the other desired features to keep your horse comfortable and their legs in good shape!
Protection provided by the Impact Sports Boots for horses.
The boot design uses a five-layer system, each chosen for their unique properties
The first layer is provides a inner lining that sits against the horses' leg. Made from perforated EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate), the liner sits comfortably against the leg. The perforations allow heat to escape and aids breathability, while the flexibility of the material allows it to mould to the horses' leg.
Layer two is a strong nylon mesh. This adds another layer of protection to the sports boots, but also stops any debris making its way into the boot towards your horses' leg.
Layer three is the internal guard made from vinyl - a string, durable and moisture resistant material. This layer is placed over the vulnerable tendon area and is made with strips of material to allow it to mould around the horses leg. This allows the horse to move freely without the feeling of a ‘splint’.
The fourth layer is a EVA waffle. Commonly used in the soles of human shoes and as padding on sports equipment, this material is durable, breathable, and protective! We’ve made sure it's easy to clean and maintain too!
Finally, layer five includes strategically placed vinyl strike guards. On the front boot, these are placed down the vulnerable tendon area, as well as at the front of the boot. On the hind boot, they cover the vast majority of the inside of the horses' leg.
Who are Tri-Zone Impact Sports Boots for?
Anyone can use Tri-Zone Impact Sports Boots when they are looking for maximum protection, without having to compromise on breathability, fit and flexibility. However here are a few scenarios they are commonly used in:
- as a highly protective turnout boot
- a lightweight cross country with maximum protection
- a racing boot which doesn't weigh the leg down more than needed
- a polo/polo-cross or mounted games boot
- as a durable and long-lasting everyday boot.
How do I care for the Tri-Zone Impact Sports Boot?
Machine washable at 30 degrees, so you can quickly and easily clean your boots. Our Hook Cleaner Brush can also help keep your straps debris free and prolong their life.
Or for quick day to day care, you can give them a short rinse on the yard and leave them to dry ready for the next day.

What inspired the horse Massage Mitt Hotspot Heat Pad for horses?
With the Equilibrium Massage range already helping horses worldwide, it seemed only natural to add the next best thing – heat! Not just a heat pad, Equilibrium have added different types of massage so you can really tailor the session to your horses needs and preferences.
How can Massage and Heat benefit horses?
Our horses work hard for us with a lot of pressure being put onto their muscles through exercise.
Massage and heat are two simple ways in which we can help support healthy muscle function in our horse.
Massage
Performance depends on freedom of movement, full flexibility, and an absence of musculoskeletal pain, all of which can be improved using massage (Gellman, 1998).
These factors also contribute towards keeping your horse comfortable and happy in general too!
Benefits of Massage include:
• Helps maintain healthy blood and lymph circulation.
• Soothes tired muscles.
• Supports recovery after exercise.
• Promotes relaxation.
Heat
Using heat is a great way to help sensitive horses who may find massage too much. Heat is non-invasive, gentle, and well accepted with many associated benefits.
Research suggests that tissue temperature needs to increase by at least 3 to 5°C from the resting temperature (Bockstahler et al, 2004). However, using something that is too hot could cause discomfort and even damage to the tissue.
Did you know?
The Massage Mitt Hotspot has been tested to increase skin temperature by 8.7°C on average?
Benefits of Heat include:
• Helps maintain good oxygen supply to muscles.
• Encourages muscle relaxation.
• Increases flexibility.
Using the equine Massage Mitt Hotspot Heat Pad:
LOW – this is best suited for a relaxing massage:
• After exercise.
• On a day of rest.
• For a sensitive horse.
• When introducing the Hotspot for the first time.
MEDIUM – this is best suited for general maintenance and everyday use:
• For a pre-exercise warm up.
• General maintenance massage.
HIGH – this is best suited:
• For horses who prefer a more intense massage.
• Those with thicker coats.
• Horses who are a bit overweight.
Use cyclical massage for your horse if you are holding the Hotspot heat pad still. This is useful when targeting a specific area.
Use continuous massage for your horse if you are moving the Hotspot heat pad over larger areas. This allows each sweep to deliver the same massage.
Use the heat for your horse on its own for a gentle session to aid healthy circulation. This is ideal for sensitive horses or those returning to work. Heat is also perfect to help warm up muscles prior to stretching your horse.
For the ultimate session, use heat and massage together! This is best suited when holding the Hotspot heat pad in one area or sweeping it over a smaller area.
Who is the Massage Mitt Hotspot for?
All horses and ponies could certainly benefit from the Massage Mitt Hotspot, including those:
• At rest/retirement.
• In work from hacking to competition. This includes horses returning to work or retraining.
• For older horses.
• Horses on box rest, standing in for long periods of time or on limited turnout.
How do I care for the Massage Mitt Hotspot?
The Massage Mitt Hotspot just needs a gentle wipe down with a damp, clean cloth if the material gets scurfy. For Battery and Charger care, please see their safety instructions included in the packaging, or here.
Caution! Do not use on the following (for humans and horses):
• Open wounds, new injuries, or new swelling (for the first 48 hours).

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.
The innovative Net Relief Muzzle Net was the first product we developed back in 2001 - a simple horse nose net that continues to make a difference to horses’ lives helping to alleviate the symptoms of headshaking worldwide.
Unlike traditional nets that cover the whole muzzle, its contoured, shaped design covers only the top half of the muzzle. Once in place, it is unobtrusive, allows saliva to escape from the mouth freely and does not interfere with the horses breathing. It can remain on the bridle at all times and places no restriction on the type of bit or noseband used.
Fully Adjustable, Net Relief Muzzle Net is attached to the noseband via hook and loop straps, which allows it to be adjusted up, or down and tailored to every horse. The Nets are easy to replace and refills are available in the pack.

More Information
What is the inspiration behind the Stretch & Flex Wraps?
A horse called Timmy was the inspiration behind these innovative support wraps. Timmy had extremely sensitive skin, which were rubbed by other boots. He needed something soft and comfortable, but also something suitable to keep his legs protected, cool and allow him to move freely when dressage training. As a result, the Stretch & Flex Wraps were born!
What are the materials used in the Stretch & Flex Wraps?
Stomatex: Originally developed for human athletes, Stomatex® was designed to provide four-way stretch, to enable use around mobile joints, and an outstanding ability to keep the skin dry. It is commonly used in the manufacture of heat acclimatisation suits, padding for wheelchairs, special wetsuits and sports injury support bandages. The material mimics the way a leaf ‘breathes’, which allows the horses leg to stay cool and maintains an ideal skin temperature over an extended period of time. The way the material works is by efficiently moving trapped vapour molecules from beneath the fabric by the flexing action of minute dome shaped chambers which contain a tiny pore in the centre. This also gives it it’s unique appearance.
Automotive Grade Cushioning Spacer Mesh: This mesh is strategically placed over the inside of the cannon bone for extra protection. The spacer fabric has an additional jersey fabric on the inside of the boot to create an even softer lining against your horses’ leg. Ideal to act as a ‘cushion’ and comfortable to wear, the spacer fabric is also fantastic at letting heat and moisture pass through easily to get sweat and warmth away from the skin.
Who are the Stretch & Flex Schooling Wraps for?
Primarily designed for schooling or a smart, comfortable, and protective competition boot, Stretch and Flex Wraps are shaped to fit comfortably around the contours of the horse’s leg making them ideal for horses with knocks, scars or splints.
The stretch fabrics and boot construction means your horse can move with ease, and so the boots are popular for flatwork, including lateral or advanced movements.
How do I care for the Stretch & Flex Wraps?
The boots can be washed off with a rinse from the hose or if needing a slightly more thorough wash, they are machine washable at 30 degrees Celsius. Leave them to air dry away from a direct heat source and they will be dry and ready to use in no time!
Why use these schooling wraps?
Offering an alternative to bandages, these support boots are not only easy to put on, but breathable and comfortable for your horse too. Available in two different styles giving you the choice of added fetlock coverage with the Training Wraps, or a brushing boot design with the Flatwork Wraps, the boots feature a unique material that allows a close, comfortable, and flexible fit.
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!
Net Relief Riding Mask
A unique fly mask for riding which protects your horse’s face, eyes and ears from flies and strong sunlight.
• Provides an effective barrier for flies and biting insects.
• Protects from the sun’s harsh rays with over 65% UV protection.
• Comfortable fit and excellent visibility with excellent clearance over the eyes and eyelashes
• Ideal for all ridden work allowing your horse to concentrate on working, rather than on flies and bright sunlight.
• Approved by British Showjumping and British Dressage for use in competition **Nose nets and Equilibrium Net Relief Riding Masks (or similar) are permitted and must be discreetly coloured i.e., the same/similar colour to the horse. Masks or nose nets should cover the face/nose only, leaving the mouth and bit visible. Face masks/nose nets are not permitted under FEI rules, which may be applied to certain competitions in the UK.
What inspired the Riding 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 shaking his head as a youngster. This led to the development of many products, including the Muzzle Net, Field Relief Max and finally, the Riding Mask. While the Muzzle Net gave him much needed relief, paired with the Riding Mask it was an even better solution!
What is the material used within this ride on fly mask?
Two types of mesh are used within the Riding Mask. There is a softer one, which goes over your horses’ ears to keep them protected but comfortable. And then a slightly firmer PVC mesh over the face, giving it structure to stay away from your horses’ eyes and eyelashes. This mesh also provides over 65% UV protection for those horses who are sensitive to sunlight.
Who is this Ride on Fly Mask for?
While anyone can use the Riding Mask, it is great for horses who:
• Are sensitive to sunlight.
• Are sensitive to flies and midges.
• Shake their heads when ridden.
How do I care for the Riding Mask?
To clean the Riding Mask, we recommend that you just rinse it regularly in lukewarm water. Do not wring or spin the material.
Other products in the range.
For horses who are very sensitive, stop to itch their muzzle area or headshakle while riding or hacking, we recommend pairing the Riding Mask with the Equilbrium Muzzle Net.
If your horse likes the Riding Mask, they may get on with the Equilibrium Field Relief Fly Mask range too!
A fly mask without ears your horse will love too. Every detail was thought of in the design of the Field Relief Midi No Ears:
• Screens out over 70% of harmful UV rays.

The inspiration behind the Midi fly mask without ears.
Sunglasses. These simple products that shield our own eyes are the design inspiration behind our Midi fly masks. They don’t cover too much of the face, they provide protection from the sun (and flies too in our horse’s case!), and they need to be comfortable otherwise you might get a headache!
The design of this horse fly mask without ears.
Designed to fit a wide range of horses and ponies, the Midi Fly Mask No Ears was made with comfort in mind. After all, horses wear their fly masks for hours at a time!
The fly mask is designed with 2 different types of mesh. There is one which acts as the visor over the eyes and face. This mesh is thicker than the other to give it rigidity and structure to stay away from the sensitive structures on your horses’ face. This mesh also offers over 70% UV protection against the sun’s rays.The second mesh is a softer, elasticated one which sits around the jaw and over the poll. We wanted something comfortable for the horse, but also something close fitting so that the pesky flies couldn’t get underneath the mask.
Other comfort features include:
Adjustable fastenings under the cheeks and behind the ears of the fly mask. This ensures the perfect fit and stops any nasty insects getting inside.
Soft sponge padding located on the nose and brow areas. This means that these areas, which sit close to the horse’s skin, are kept rub free.
Lastly, the Midi Horse Fly Mask No Ears features strategically placed darts. These darts are positioned on the front of the mask and keep it clear of the eyes and eyelashes.
Customising your horse’s Midi fly mask
We've introduced additions to the Field Relief range to allow you to customise the fly mask to yours and your horse’s needs. If you'd like to add a nosepiece to this fly mask, take a look at our Detachable Nosepiece. If your horse is bothered by the flies but doesn't need UV protection, you might want to consider the Muzzle Fringe instead.
Our fly masks all carry a one-year guarantee but most last for several seasons. Long lasting and easy to wash, the Field Relief Midi Fly Mask comes in a variety of sizes from ponies to large horses. The Midi Fly Mask also provides excellent visibility so is ideal for veterans, visually impaired and spooky horses! Also available, Field Relief Midi with ears.
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!
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:

• 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.
The Stellar Style Safety Headcollar combines scientifically tested safety with superior comfort and durability, giving you peace of mind every day.
The high-quality Stellar Lead Rope has been tested to work with the Stellar Safety Headcollar, plus it matches too.
The Stellar Lead Rope was tested by Dr David Marlin, on a Test Rig under controlled conditions, to work with the Stellar™ Head Collar to ensure consistency with the required release points. This is important because 75% of accidents* happen when the horse was tied up (*survey of 5,615 respondents).
The handy stop ‘cuff’ gives the end of the rope extra grip, while the ‘chunky’ rubber collar near the clip end of the rope enables the handler to maintain a good grip of the lead rope under the horse’s head. Our lead rope is also smart so perfect for every day or use at shows.
Equilibrium Hind and Hock Chaps
The Equilibrium Hind & Hock Magnetic Chaps has magnets where you want them in these magnetic hock boots designed to support mobility, aid joint function, and maintain healthy tendons. Ideal for horses prone to fluid filled legs in the stable, those with chronic tendon problems or suffer from hock arthritis, splints, bone chips, and general knocks and bumps.
• Includes four movable magnets to place where your horse needs them, including the hock joint.
• Use overnight as part of your horses’ daily routine for maintaining leg health.
• Recommended for ridden horses, veterans, on box rest/standing in for long periods of time.
• Use as an alternative to stable bandages to keep the legs warm and maintain circulation.
• 1-year guarantee.
• Supplied in pairs.
Do not apply magnets on open wounds, bruises, areas of inflammation or for the first 5 days following steroid injections.
What is the material used within the Magnetic Hock Boots for horses?
Equilibrium Magnetic Boots are made of a nylon inner and outer, with polyester fill. The fill provides enough warmth and padding but is not too thick, so the boot remains flexible and comfortable, while providing some warmth but not overheating the legs.
The inner layer is completely Velcro receptive too, so that our magnets can be placed anywhere throughout the boots – including over the hock joint.
Four magnets are supplied with each pair of boots. They are reasonably thin and flat, yet extremely flexible. This allows them to mould to the horses’ legs, should they need to be placed over a joint. Supplied in a small pouch, they can be placed anywhere within the magnetic boot lining with the simple hook and loop attachment. This allows you to target the magnets exactly where your horse needs them.
Which magnets are used and how do they work?
The body’s cells have electromagnetic properties which means they can be affected by a magnetic field. The magnets used in these Magnetic Hind and Hock Boots for horses and present two alternating poles to the body, negative and positive, making them different to standard neodymium magnets, which present only one pole. These strong, linear, and permanent magnetic fields of alternating pole sequences penetrate the body tissue.
When should these Magnetic Hock Boots for horses be used?
• Every day as part of your horses’ daily routine for maintaining leg health. Usually overnight or in the day when stood in.
• For horses in work from hacking to competition. This includes horses returning to work or retraining.
• For older horses or those who are slow to warm up.
• Horses on box rest, standing in for long periods of time or on limited turnout.
• General knocks and bumps.
How do I care for the Magnetic Hock boots?
Machine washable at 30 degrees, so you can quickly and easily clean your boots.

What inspired the Stretch & Flex support boots for horses?
A horse called Timmy was the inspiration behind these innovative support wraps. Timmy had extremely sensitive skin, which were rubbed by other boots. He needed something soft and comfortable, but also something suitable to keep his legs protected, cool and allow him to move freely when dressage training. As a result, the Stretch & Flex Training Wraps were born!
What is the material used within the Stretch & Flex Wraps?
These popular wraps are made from a unique material called Stomatex, which was originally developed for human athletes.
The material is perfect to provide support, comfort and breathability due to its technical properties:
- 4-way stretch to allow free movement without restriction
- Actively breathable keeping legs cooler
- Soft lining to ensure comfort against the horses’ leg.
4-Way Stretch:
Being able to stretch the material in multiple directions makes it ideal to wrap around mobile joints. It means the joint can the move, and while the material will supply gentle compression, it won’t restrict the movement.
In the human world, Stomatex is commonly used in heat acclimatisation suits, padding for wheelchairs, special wetsuits and sports injury support bandages.
Actively Breathable:
Stomatex features dome shaped chambers which contain a tiny pore in the centre. As the horse moves this dome flexes, which ‘pumps’ air away from the leg allowing it to stay cool.
Comfort:
The soft material is comfortable against the horses’ skin, but it also provides padding along the tendons, around the fetlock and on the inside of the leg to aid protection against knocks. The stretch also allows the wraps to sit over lumps and bumps and move around them, rather than agitate them.
Who are these horse support boots for?
Not only ideal for dressage and schooling, the Stretch & Flex Training Wraps can also be used for hacking, lunging, showing, endurance, carriage driving, as well as low level jumping.
The are great for horses:
- With big movement
- Doing lateral work
- Who could benefit from additional support
- With knocks, bumps and scars
- With sensitive skin
How do I care for the Stretch & Flex Training Wraps?
Our Stretch & Flex range are easy to care for. Machine washable at 30 degrees, we recommend you close the straps to ensure the hook and loop does not get caught.
A Hook Cleaner Brush can be used to keep the hook in good working order so it attaches to the loop effectively.

The Equilibrium Tri-Zone Tendon Boots are the only ones you will ever need, they are so easy to keep clean, you can wear them everyday and for competitions. Plus they don’t include the hard restrictive outer casings that many on the market have.
- Safety tested in an independent laboratory (read more here)
- Breathable to reduce heat
- Doesn’t restrict movement, flexible and moulds to horses leg
- Lightweight
- Doesn’t hold water
- Five-layer protection system
- Matches perfectly with the Tri-Zone Fetlock Boots
- Sold in pairs
What is the inspiration behind the Open Fronted Tendon Boots?
There are so many things to consider when purchasing horse boots, that we wanted to offer a boot where you didn't have to compromise at all. Generally if you go for a hard shell/very protective boot, it can be heavy, inflexible and unbreathable. Likewise, a lightweight boot might be more breathable and flexible, but won't offer the protection that is needed. The Tri-Zone Open Fronted Boots offers protection that is tested, yet still retains all the other desired features to keep your horse comfortable and their legs in good shape!
Protection provided by the Tri-Zone Open Fronted Tendon Boots
The boot design uses a five-layer system, each chosen for their unique properties
The first layer is provides a inner lining that sits against the horses' leg. Made from perforated EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate), the liner sits comfortably against the leg. The perforations allow heat to escape and aids breathability, while the flexibility of the material allows it to mould to the horses' leg.
Layer two is a strong nylon mesh. This adds another layer of protection to the boots, but also stops any debris making its way into the boot towards your horses' leg.
Layer three is the internal guard made from vinyl - a string, durable and moisture resistant material. This layer is placed over the vulnerable tendon area and is made with strips of material to allow it to mould around the horses leg. This allows the horse to move freely without the feeling of a ‘splint’.
The fourth layer is a EVA waffle. Commonly used in the soles of human shoes and as padding on sports equipment, this material is durable, breathable, and protective! We’ve made sure it's easy to clean and maintain too!
Finally, layer five includes strategically placed vinyl strike guards. These are placed down the vulnerable tendon area for maximum protection.
How do I care for the Tri-Zone Open Fronted Boot?
Machine washable at 30 degrees, so you can quickly and easily clean your boots. Our Hook Cleaner Brush can also help keep your straps debris free and prolong their life.
Or for quick day to day care, you can give them a short rinse on the yard and leave them to dry ready for the next day.

Such as useful addition to any feed room, stable or yard!

Tri-Zone Over Reach Boots
Tested, hard-wearing over reach boots for horses, specifically designed for jumping and galloping.
Have a horse that’s prone to over reaching on the cross country course, or loves to remove shoes in the field? The Tri-Zone Over Reach Boots are a popular tack room staple for many riders to help prevent strike injuries caused by over reaching.
• Carefully designed with an anti-spin heel button.
• Great protection for high impact sports or during turnout.
• Tough PU Kevlar type strike guard heel strike pad.
• Hardwearing, waterproof and rot-proof.
When it comes to our rider wear and equipment, testing is inevitable. So why do we compromise on our horses’ equipment? This is why our Tri-Zone Over Reach Boots are put through a unique 3-phase testing process, giving you the confidence you need when choosing the right protection for your horse.
What are Tri-Zone Over Reach Boots made of?
With the Equilibrium Tri-Zone Over Reach Boots, protection is where it’s most needed. Made from a PU Kevlar type strike guard at the heel allows for concentrated protection, without being too bulky or heavy for your horse.
Featuring an EVA foam inner layer, this shock absorbing layer aids in preventing further injury if your horse was to knock himself, due to its tough and flexible properties.
The outer layer is made from a ballistic PU Nylon, which is both hard-wearing, waterproof, and even rot-proof, providing not only a long-lasting boot, but long-lasting protection for your horse!
This fetlock boot has it all, protective but not stiff like others in the market, the perfect combination for show jumping!
- Matches perfectly with the Tri-Zone Open Fronted Tendon Boot.
- Extremely lightweight for freedom of movement.
- Breathable.
- Three protective layers, offering good protection from both concussion and penetration injuries.
- Easy to wash and keep clean.
- One year product guarantee.
Protection provided by the Tri-Zone Fetlock Boots for horses.
The fetlock boots are comprised of 3 protective layers, which aim to protect from concussion and penetration.
The first layer against the horses skin is smooth and soft EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate). This allows it to sit comfortably against the horses' leg and also complies with class rules.
The second layer is a tough and breathable, yet flexible EVA waffle. This allows it to be durable and protective, but also enables the horse to move without restriction.
Finally, the third layer provides strategic protection to the inside of the fetlock joint. Made from vinyl which is a strong, durable and moisture resistant material.
How do I care for the Tri-Zone Fetlock Boot?
Machine washable at 30 degrees, so you can quickly and easily clean your boots. Our Hook Cleaner Brush can also help keep your straps debris free and prolong their life.
Or for quick day to day care, you can give them a short rinse on the yard and leave them to dry ready for the next day.
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!
The Net Relief Muzzle Net is one of the most effective products on the market to help alleviate the symptoms of headshaking. The Net Relief Muzzle Net for anatomical bridles such as Micklem® Bridles has been developed as part of the Net Relief Muzzle net family, which was first introduced in 2001, in line with the advancements of different bridles and nosebands being used by riders.
About the Net Relief Muzzle Net for anatomical Bridles:
• Improved the symptoms of 79% of headshaking horses in clinical trials at De Montfort University
• Contoured mesh for a comfortable fit
• Shaped specially to fit the cross over part of an anatomical Micklem® noseband
• Easily attached via hook and loop fastenings
• Unobstructive and permitted by British Eventing and British Dressage**
Unlike conventional nose nets that cover the whole muzzle, the Net Relief Muzzle Net for anatomical bridles features a shaped design that covers only the top half of the horse’s muzzle. This allows the product to be unobstructive, has no interference with the horses breathing and can easily remain on your horses’ bridle, so there’s no need to remove every time you ride!
We ensure that every product we produce helps to create a difference to horses’ lives, so with this in mind the Net Relief Muzzle Net underwent clinical trials at De Montfort University in the UK. The results of ‘Net Relief’ were outstanding:
• 79% of the animals experienced an improvement in symptoms.
• 84% of respondents said Net Relief was easy to use.
• 88% of respondents said Net Relief had an attractive appearance on the horse.
With the Net Relief Muzzle Net being permitted by both British Eventing and British Dressage, help your horse perform to his full potential, without the irritation and distraction from headshaking.
Each standard pack includes 1x Micklem® shaped Noseband (medium/large) and 3x Nose Nets (in black).
*Micklem® is a registered trademark of Horseware Products Ltd
**Always check the relevant rule book for the most recent guidelines.
• Based on the Massage Pad technology, which is proven to increase relaxation and flexibility.
• Battery operated, so you can take it wherever you go!
• 3 intensity settings which you can tailor to your horse’s needs.
• 2-year guarantee.
What inspired the horse Massage Mitt?
As an extension of the Equilibrium Massage range, the Mitt was brought in to extend the positive effect the Massage Pad was having on horses across the world. While the Massage Pad effectively targets the back, the Massage Mitt can target any muscle you want to!
Using the equine Massage Mitt:
The Massage Mitt has three different settings, which can be selected easily from the mitt control panel. You can select the intensity of the program to suit your horses’ needs. Each program has three different types of massage: pulsing, vibration, and stroking. This ensures the muscles are worked in different ways. Each session lasts 10 minutes which allows enough time for full coverage over the horses’ muscle groups.
The Massage Mitt can be easily incorporated into your warming up and cooling down routine.
• The low setting can then be used as part of a gentle cool down.
• The medium setting can be used to help warm muscles up prior to exercise or on a day off.
• The high setting can be used for those horses that prefer a more intense massage.
It comes in a handy carry bag which makes it ideal for use at home, away or in the lorry. It is wipe clean, making it easy to care for. The bag also has useful storage spots for the battery and charger.
How can Massage benefit horses?
As found with the Equilibrium Massage Pad, there are several benefits of massage.
Massage is well known for its ‘feel good’ factor and the Massage Mitt has been shown to aid relaxation and assist with the maintenance of healthy muscle and muscle function. Tension is often one of the most common reasons for poor performance. By increasing relaxation and improving back flexibility, the negative effects of tension can be reduced. A relaxed horse, with relaxed muscles, will move with fluidity and suppleness which is particularly important for competition horses performing dressage movements, and those jumping technical fences.
Who is the Massage Mitt for?
All horses and ponies could certainly benefit from the Massage Mitt, including those:
• At rest/retirement
• In work from hacking to competition. This includes horses returning to work or retraining.
• For older horses
• Horses on box rest, standing in for long periods of time or on limited turnout.
How do I care for the Massage Mitt?
The Massage Mitt just needs a gentle wipe down with a damp, clean cloth if the material gets scurfy. For Battery and Charger care, please see their safety instructions included in the packaging.
The Equilibrium Symmetry Straps are a special training aid which works by fixing your stirrups to the girth but in a safe and subtle way using hook and loop (sometimes referred to as Velcro). This allows you to develop feel and security of the lower leg – the foundation for skilful riding.
Increases your body awareness.
- You become immediately aware of when your lower leg moves or is out of position.
- Promotes muscle memory and strength.
- By training the body to adopt a quieter position, you build the muscular strength to hold the correct position.

The inspiration behind the Field Relief Muzzle Fringe.

How do the magnets work?
The body’s cells have electromagnetic properties which means they can be energised by a magnetic field. Vitaflex® magnets present two alternating poles to the body, negative and positive, making them different to standard neodymium magnets, which present only one pole. These strong, circular and permanent magnetic fields of alternating pole sequences penetrate into the body tissue.
They are ideal:
- Every day as part of your horses’ daily routine for maintaining leg health. Usually overnight or in the day when stood in.
- For horses in work from hacking to competition. This includes horses returning to work or retraining.
- For older horses or those who are slow to warm up.
- Horses on box rest, standing in for long periods of time or on limited turnout.
- General knocks and bumps.
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.

Field Relief Max Donkey Fly Mask
The same great Field Relief Fly Mask Max from Equilibrium but designed specifically with donkeys in mind!
The difference is in the detail with this full-face UV fly mask! Equilibrium looked at every detail when it came to creating this Field Relief Fly Max Mask for donkeys, to ensure it is not only effective against flies, but also comfortable for your donkey to wear all day. Plus, it covers your donkey’s 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.
• Specially designed donkey 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 your equine friend 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 donkey; 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 ‘donkey-shaped’ ears are generous for those who need a little more room; similarly, if your donkey 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!
Equilibrium fly masks all carry a one-year guarantee but most last for several seasons. The Field Relief Max Donkey Mask also provides excellent visibility, so is ideal for veterans!
