Horses will always give you a great ride but you obviously have to look after them. However, horses suffer from ailments as well such as laminitis and colic. Some suffer due to eye trauma and urinary problems. Some horses develop respiratory problems and gastric ulcers. Joint diseases are not uncommon as are allergies. One of the chronic problems horses suffer from is due to the inflammation of the bursae in the withers and this could be painful. This fistula in the withers may cause a swelling and bring about a fever in the horse as well. You have to bear all this in mind even as you go for a range of articles for your horses and horse accessories as well as corrective pads designed to keep your horses in great shape and fettle.
The range of horse accessories is pretty impressive. You have the girth sleeves and the breastplate sets besides the head collar sets and breast check sleeves, the grooming mitt, the corrective pads, the wither pad and the noseband cover. There are also the fleece saddle covers and formulations for washing the clothing and bedding of the horse. There are French blinkers, wool leg wraps, wool ear plugs and stirrup slipper.
Of the horse accessories, the girth sleeve is for the horse's comfort and is made of the finest British wool that is well known for its durability and elasticity as well as the comfort that it provides. The sleeves are used for the prevention of girth rub and are very useful for horses with sensitive girths. The breastplate set protects the horse's sensitive backs from abrasions while the fleece saddle cover generally looks smart besides increasing the longevity of your saddles.
Corrective pads are normally used when you need to use the same saddle on different horses. You have the half shimmy pad that has pockets both in the front and the back. The rider could insert all the foam shimmy pads if he desires on each side so as to adjust the saddle. There are corrective pads of the shimmy numnah variety and the half wool shimmy pad as well.
