Want to put your best foot forward this Show Season? We have a few tips to help you excel. 1. Have a plan. Plan your individual show carefully. Make use of corners and ride wide turns, keep a good rhythm and be careful not to push your horse or pony out of it's natural pace. 2. Don't underestimate the importance of the walk. The importance of the walk pace is often overlooked, show a natural free walk at the start and end of your show. Remember your individual show is your chance to shine! 3. Make sure your horse is well schooled and mannerly. It goes without saying that rideability is essential in the show ring and the better schooled your horse is, the more likely the judge is to enjoy riding him or her. Howev...

Choosing the right showing attire is more than just it looking good, you need to look good and feel good in order to really be able to perform your best in the show ring. Freedom of movement is really important, so choose jackets, which feel comfortable and fit! Squeezing yourself into a jacket that is too small or short in the body will not only look ugly but will make you feel uncomfortable and be an unwelcome distraction in the ring. Choosing a jacket, which is cut, to flatter is especially important for showing, so look out for a nicely cut jacket, which skims your curves and gives a nice overall impression. Equetech are proud to offer choices for fuller figured riders and our tweed show jackets go up to a size 24 as standard and are...

A gilet can be a perfect addition to any equestrian wardrobe and here are our top three reasons why a gilet should become a staple in your wardrobe! 1. It's all about the layers, a gilet allows you to layer up, put a long sleeve warm comfy base layer underneath or in the warmer weather a t-shirt. 2. Comfort. Don't sweat when you ride, a gilet will keep you warm but should mean less sweatiness when you are working hard. 3. Movability. A gilet allows you freedom to move when in the saddle, you won't be restricted and are free to get on and ride.
