Trail Bridles and Bits
As a trail rider, you know your trail bridle should be tough and durable.
It's likely to become sweaty, it may get rained on, and it'll probably get
splashed during water crossings. Your bridle can catch on bushes, underbrush,
and tree branches. You'll be safer and have more fun on the trail... | read »

Why Riding Helmets Work
Everyone
has an excuse for not wearing a helmet when they ride: "I'm not going to jump;
I'm just going for a trail ride; my horse is perfectly safe; I'm only going to

dangerous." | read »

Weaver Leather Takes Economy Horse Bridles to a Higher Level
Appearances are important. Color and styling draw us in, but it's quality,
fit and price make the sale.
Horse bridles come in a range of sizes, but they aren't standard. A fine-headed
horse can nicely fit a cob bridle in some cases, just as some large cobs need a

Stop that Rub by Having a Fit
Come
spring, you can often (sadly) tell which horses wore blankets and which didn't.
We don't mean noting horses that are shedding buckets of hair vs. those with
relatively short coats. We mean the ones with chafed spots on their hips and
shoulders. But rubs don't have to be a part of the... | read »

Horse Grooming Tools and Gadgets
If you get
right down to it, you can keep your horse healthy and clean with just a hoof
pick, a medium-bristle brush and a rag. It'll take some extra work, but even
dried-on mud can be removed satisfactorily. Of course, you can go the other way,

Hoof Boots Hit the Trail
Hoof boots look funky. Hoof boots muffle the age-old sound of hoofbeats on the trail.
Most cost more than 10 times the cost of a pair of steel horseshoes. Yet horse
owners are booting up their horses and hitting the trail to experiment with
temporary hoof protection for trail riding.
