Spring Essentials for the Change of Season 🌸

Winter is officially behind us — spring has arrived! 💐 Temperatures are rising, the days are getting longer, and nature is coming back to life. But this transition brings its own set of challenges: shifting temperatures, winter coat shedding, and grounds that can still be quite muddy… 🙊

We've put together our must-haves to help you and your horse enjoy the season in comfort! ✨

Shedding products ✨

Spring marks the end of the winter coat and the start of the big shed! To help your horse along, we love the Hippotonic Shedding Comb, available in blue, pink, grey, green, lilac, and orange. Its stainless steel blade effortlessly removes excess hair without irritating the skin, while its memory foam-covered handle provides an ultra-comfortable grip.

You can also combine comfort with practicality with the Hippotonic Anti-Shedding & Massage Grooming Glove. It gently removes loose hair while giving your horse a relaxing massage 😍

A lightweight mid-season rug 🌼

If your horse is clipped or sensitive to temperature changes, a lightweight waterproof rug (between 50g and 100g) is perfect to prevent early morning chills while keeping them cool during the day.

Hoof care products 💪

With persistent ground moisture, hooves take quite a beating. To prevent thrush or, on the other hand, excessive drying as the warmer days arrive, the Ungula Naturalis Clear Mid-Season Hoof Ointment is ideal. You can also alternate between a moisturising ointment and a cleansing treatment depending on the condition of the hooves.

Sun protection ☀️

With the return of sunny days, light-coated horses can be prone to sunburn, particularly on the nose. A good sun cream is THE solution to avoid these little issues. Our favourite: the Cura Natural SPF50+ Sun Balme 🧡

Fly repellent products 🪰

As temperatures rise, the first insects start to appear. To keep your horse comfortable and protected from flies and other pests, kit them out with a fly veil and a repellent spray to apply before every outing.

⭐ Our two essentials: The Horseware Amigo Fly Mask Fly Veil and the Ravene Emouchine Protec Insect Repellent Spray

A lighter outfit for the rider 👕

No more endless layers to battle the cold! With spring here, it's time for lighter, more breathable clothing — so you can ride comfortably while adapting to changing temperatures.

🌸 Horse Pilot - Women's Raintech Mesa Pink Rain Jacket
🌿 Horse Pilot - Women's Optimax Iron Long Sleeve T-Shirt

With these essentials, you and your horse will be ready to make the most of spring! 🌼💛
