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!
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.
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.

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.
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.
Vitamunch Marvellous Meadow
Keep your horse occupied for longer with this high fibre, low sugar fibre block, which is bursting full of tasty herbs and nutritious vitamins and minerals.
A 1kg healthy, low sugar fibre block with endless uses. Packed full of essential vitamins and minerals together with herbs naturally sought by horses in the field, red clover and nettle, Vitamunch blocks can help in many ways:
• As a boredom breaker.
• Encouraging natural foraging in the stable when turnout is limited.
• Topping up essential vitamins & minerals.
• Providing a healthy, low sugar but high fibre snack.
• To slow food intake with its highly compressed nature.
• As a smaller (and tastier!) alternative to hay when travelling.
• Keeping horses occupied at competition.
What inspired this vitamunch fibre block?
As a company focused on the horses’ wellbeing, we thought it was only right to look at the mental and nutritional wellbeing of our equine friends too!
What is in vitamunch**?
Not just a simple fibre block, vitamunch fibre blocks are made from dried timothy hay and are also fortified with essential vitamins and minerals, while containing tasty herbs naturally sought by horses in the field:
Dandelion – rich in potassium, magnesium and vitamin A.
Nettles - known for their effect on the circulation, a source of vitamin C and iron.
12 Vitamins - including A, B, C, D, E, as well as biotin, copper and zinc!
Timothy Hay - naturally high in fibre and low in sugar, and super tasty!
*1 vitamunch provides 50% of the published daily requirements for vitamins & trace elements based on a 500kg horse in light work.
**based on the most recent batch
Who is it for?
All horses can enjoy a vitamunch meadow fibre block due to its high fibre and low sugar content, including those prone to laminitis. It is particularly useful:
• As a boredom breaker.
• Encouraging natural foraging in the stable when turnout is limited.
• Topping up essential vitamins & minerals.
• To slow food intake with its highly compressed nature.

Ways to feed vitamunch hay blocks.
There is no right or wrong way, it’s whatever works for your horse.
As it’s so tasty, most horses are keen to try gobble it down. Feeding vitamunch 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!

The perfect solution to cool the temperature of your horse. This advanced rug utilises water-activated conduction technology to draw heat away from your horses’ body, promoting optimal comfort and cooling during warm weather.
Ideal for:
- Cooling your horse down without the need to get them soaking wet (when used for up to 10 minutes).
- Providing cooling relief in the stable at rest for at least 2 hours*
- Providing instant cooling up to 5.9℃ in the stable* or after exercise**
- Warm competition days to gently cool your horse before, in between or after classes.
- Horses who get hot when/after travelling.
- Horses who don’t like the hose, or the feeling of running water.

*Based on horses in the stable in temperatures ranging between 28-30℃. ** Based on horses exercised for 20 minutes and cooled directly afterwards.
How the Quick Chill Rug works:
Designed with your horses’ wellbeing in mind, the Quick Chill rug provides a refreshing cooling effect without the need for traditional soaking.
Here’s a breakdown of how the Quick Chill rug works:
- Specialised Material
The rug is made from a high tech, breathable open cell structure material, which is designed to effectively absorb and store water. This material has been chosen for its ability to retain water, but also to allow the water molecules to move through the fabric easily.
The rug should be fully submerged in a bucket of water, or thoroughly soaked. Once removed from the bucket, wring out the excess water and place onto the horse. The water stored within the fabric is essential for the cooling process, but due to it being held within the fabric, it will stop your horse from getting soaking wet when used for up to 10 minutes.
2. Heat transfer, evaporative cooling and breathability.
Your horse will be warmer than the rug, and so the thermal energy will move via conduction from the hottest place (the horse) to the cooler place (the rug) to equalise temperatures. The water from the rug also evaporates into the atmosphere to further aid cooling, similar to what happens when your horse sweats to naturally attempt to cool themselves down.
The cooling area of the rug is contoured and shaped so that it covers the large muscle groups across the back and hindquarters with direct contact, and the remainder of the rug is mesh to allow it to remain lightweight for use in the summer, but also to remain well-ventilated to facilitate breathability and evaporation to further aid the cooling process.
3. Reusability
This process helps regulate the horses body temperature while providing a cooling sensation without soaking the horse. The rug can be reactivated as many times as it is needed by re-soaking it in water, making it an environmentally friendly solution to keep horses cool in warm conditions.
The Equilibrium Magnetic Therapy range has long offered targeted support for legs and hocks – but knee coverage was a missing piece. We listened to feedback from customers and riders who wanted the same level of support for their horse’s forelegs. These new chaps were developed to complete the magnetic range, using our trusted dual-pole magnet design in a new ergonomic shape that stays in place and comfortably fits over the knee.
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.

Plus – the Hotdot is not just for horses, dogs and pets. You can use it on yourself too!
What inspired the Massage Mitt Hotdot?
With the Equilibrium Massage range already trusted by horse owners worldwide, the Hotdot was designed to offer a compact, targeted way to combine the benefits of heat and massage.
Using our signature cyclical massage, the Hotdot is ideal for holding over specific areas that may benefit from focused support. Whether you are using it as part of your horse’s routine, to support your dog or pet, or even on yourself, the Hotdot gives you a simple way to add heat and massage into everyday care.
How can massage and heat help?
Horses, dogs and active people can all experience tired, tight or hardworking muscles. Massage and heat are two simple, non-invasive ways to support healthy muscle function, relaxation and comfort.
Massage
Massage can help support healthy circulation, soothe tired muscles and encourage relaxation. The Hotdot uses cyclical massage, making it ideal for targeting specific areas or trigger points.
Benefits of massage include:
- Helps maintain healthy blood and lymph circulation.
- Soothes tired or hardworking muscles.
- Supports recovery after exercise.
- Promotes relaxation.
Heat
Heat is a gentle option for animals who may find massage overstimulating, or for those who need a softer introduction. It can also be used on its own before stretching, during a calm session, or alongside massage for a deeper treatment.
The Hotdot is designed to reach 42°C on the surface and has been carefully tested to stay within the researched heat range of 40–45°C during the 10-minute treatment period.
Benefits of heat include:
- Supports healthy blood circulation.
- Helps maintain good oxygen and nutrient supply to the surrounding tissue.
- Encourages muscle relaxation.
- Increases flexibility.
- Helps maintain joint mobility.
Using the Massage Mitt Hotdot
The Massage Mitt Hotdot has three massage intensities, allowing you to tailor each session.
LOW
Best suited for:
- Introductory sessions.
- Cooling down after exercise.
- Particularly sensitive horses, dogs or pets.
- Animals new to massage.
MEDIUM
Best suited for:
- Everyday use.
- General maintenance.
- Pre-exercise use.
- Horses and pets who are comfortable with regular massage.
HIGH
Best suited for:
- Horses who prefer a stronger massage.
- Animals with thicker coats.
- Animals who are slightly overweight.
- Larger or giant dog breeds.
For a targeted session, hold the Hotdot over a specific area for 5–10 minutes. If tolerated, light pressure can be applied for a stronger massage.
For an all-over massage, move the Hotdot slowly in sweeping motions over the main muscle groups, following the direction of the hair. Spend around 2 minutes on each area, including the neck, shoulder, back, hindquarters and hamstrings.
Use heat on its own for a gentle, warming session. This is ideal for sensitive animals, those returning to work, animals recovering from injury, or for warming muscles before stretching.
For a deeper session, combine heat and massage together.
Who is the Massage Mitt Hotdot for?
The Hotdot can be used on horses, humans, dogs and other pets.
It is suitable for horses and ponies:
- At rest or in retirement.
- In work, from hacking to competition.
- Returning to work or retraining.
- Who are older or sensitive.
- On box rest, standing in for long periods, or on limited turnout.
It can also be used for dogs and other pets who enjoy gentle handling and massage. Always introduce the Hotdot slowly, especially with nervous, sensitive or suspicious animals.
How should I charge, store and care for the Hotdot?
A full charge can take up to 6 hours. The indicator light shows red while charging and blue when fully charged. Charge indoors only, with the cable fully uncoiled, and avoid wet environments.
Once charged, replace the dust cap on the charging port.
When not in use, make sure the Hotdot is completely dry before storing it in the bag provided. Store in warm, dry conditions, away from direct sunlight.
To clean, do not wash the material. Gently wipe with a damp cloth using water only, and do not scrub.
Caution
Do not use the Hotdot on:
- Open wounds, new injuries or new swelling within the first 48 hours.
- Areas where infection is suspected.
- Malignant tumours.
- Bony areas such as the wither, point of shoulder or point of hip.
Do not apply more than 2 consecutive cycles of heat in one spot.
The Hotdot is not a toy. Do not leave it unattended with horses, dogs or other pets, and do not allow chewing or mouthing.

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!
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.
- Features in-built safety release system making them ideal for use in all equestrian disciplines from flatwork schooling to show jumping, so you can ride confidently with a secure leg and seat.

Our collection of re-conditioned Standard Massage Pads have been tested to ensure they are in full working order before they are sent. Re-conditioned pads have been seen by a qualified electrician to check and repair if necessary, they may have been restitched, they are then fully cleaned and tested before being packed for sale. So you can be sure that if you buy a re-conditioned pad it is in full working order and you are saving one from landfill. Reconditioned Standard Massage Pad sent complete with: • High-Performance Battery & International Charger • Carry bag • 1 Year Product Guarantee The Equilibrium Horse Massage Pad was developed through clinical trials at Myerscough College, UK. The innovative design provides effective, affordable equine massage for horses and ponies sized 14.1hh – 16.1hh or in 5ft9 – 6ft3 sized rugs. Battery operated 30-minute sessions – give your horse or pony a massage while you complete other yard tasks. Choose the intensity of the massage from 3 different programs. Lightweight and portable – take it with you wherever you go. Massage more and charge less with our high-performance battery & universal charger. What are the benefits of massage for horses? Massage is well known for its ‘feel good’ factor and 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. What is the material used within the Standard Massage Pad? The Massage Pad is made up of polyurethane, or PU, with foam padding. The PU outer makes the product extremely hardwearing, but also hygienic – which is ideal if it is shared between many horses and ponies. It is resistant to water and grease, but also to fungus. This material paired with the padding also makes it comfortable for the horse. Four massage motors are positioned in the target areas for horses and ponies. There are two either side of the wither and another two just behind the saddle area. The careful design of the massage pad then facilitates the spread of the massage along the back muscle. Who is the Standard Massage Pad for? While this Massage Pad is suitable for multiple sizes of horses, the size who most benefit from the standard size are those 14.1hh – 16.1hh, or in 5ft9 to 6ft3 rugs. Pony and XL sizes are available for horses and ponies either side of that range. You can use the horse 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 horse or pony’s day off as general maintenance. Anytime as a reward. 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 horse for the first time. MEDIUM to warm up the muscles prior to exercise or for general maintenance. HIGH if your horse 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. Massage Pad Testing: We take pride in researching and testing our products. The Equilibrium Massage Pad was independently tested by Myerscough College in Lancashire, UK. 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.
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).
