items As an Equestrian for 6 years, I have learned what products and supplies are good and what is not. I am pretty picky on what I use for my horses as most of them have trauma and issues.

Training Supplies
This is a great desensitizing tool! I love training my horses to not be afraid of this flapping around.
Weaver Leather Training Flag
I love how this halter gives me some control without being too harsh, my 2 year old gelding has some baby moments so this helps me have more control.
Mustang Knotted Rope Training Halter
I love using surcingles! They work so well for teaching young horses how to steer and start to learn how to collect.
Basic Nylon Fleece 8-Ring Training Surcingle
This tool helped me to be able to desensitize my horses to stuff touching them on their back legs, under their belly and on their hindquarters. It's nice and gentle.
Training Stick
I don't have one but this looks so helpful! It makes your hands stay in the right position, I struggle with keeping my hands farther apart because I tend to brace for something to go wrong and keep my hands close together.
Equicube
Tack
I'm a hunter jumper and a huntseat rider, so my tack is pretty simple and easy, but my horses have some tack that they do need to help their skills undersaddle.
I LOVE Bates saddles! They are so comfortable and nice to ride in. They fit horses super well.
Bates Caprilli Close Contact Heritage
Weird opinion, but I prefer leather girths rather than the kind of stretchy kind. The leather girths are easier to clean, as you just put leather soap and conditioner on and your done!
Gatsby Chaffless Girth
I love these bridles because they have a soft leather pad on the top of the bridle. It offers a nice soft cushion for their pole.
Da Vinci Horse Bridles & Leathers
Obviously, we need stirrups unless you want to go no stirrups, which isn't my preferred choice. But these stirrup leathers are soft and easy to break in.
Bates Stirrup Leather Luxe
Most of my horses need a half pad because we do not have saddles to fit them all perfectly, so this half pad works super well!
Shires Arma Corrective Lined Half Pad
Most of the horses I ride are forward and love to jump, so this martingale is amazing to get a little more control without using the reins too much.
Perform 1St Choice Leather Training Martingale Br
Since I jump, the horses need safety for their legs in case they knock a pole, and these boots are simple but effective.
Basic Neoprene Splint Boots
As a short person with a 16 hand Friesian and a growing 16 hand Arabian, it is hard for me to anything with them, and sadly to say that I cannot get on my Friesian without a mounting block. I love this mounting block and I even use it for braiding my...
Horsemen''s Pride 3-Step Mounting Block
Supplements and Feed
Heres the feed I use and the supplements I give to my horses!
Lakin Lite is a super good grain and comes with alot! My horses love it.
Lakin-Lite Horse Pellets
My horses love Enrich! It provides supplements and acts like grain aswell, also great for horses who are hard keepers!
Purina ® Enrich Plus ® Ration Balancing Horse Feed
I love using this in their feed! You can put this in their water or their feed and hay. This makes it easier to make sure that they wont get dehydrated and colic.
First Companion EQU-Dex Cherry Flavor Electrolyte Horse Supplement, ...
I use this a lot! Since I live in a very hot area my horses get dehydrated very quickly. This does a great job getting them rehydrated.
AniMed Right Lyte Gel Syringe, 60 ml
This is a great dewormer! Works super well.
Durvet Paste, 1.87%, 6.08g at Tractor Supply Co
Bathing Supplies
I love bathing my horses and making them all pretty, although it doesn't last long it makes me happy seeing them clean for 10 minutes..
I love this stuff! I find that this works even better than the Equine shampoo. My mare who is allergic to everything is not allergic to this and it gets all the caked in dirt out of their coat and mane.
Suave : Shampoo
Same with the shampoo, this stuff works amazing and gets their mane and tail super hydrated and easy to brush.
Suave Conditioners | Nourishing & Refreshing Hair Care
My favorite to get a good scrub in! This is gentle enough to use on their legs and even their face. My horses love this!
Professional's Choice Jelly Scrubber
One of my favorite coat shine! I also use this on their mane and tail as a detangler and it works like a dream.
Showsheen
I love this stuff! Although I am allergic to it I still use it on my mare with skin issues, since the bugs bite her chest and face this helps the sores not get an infection.
Shapley's Original MTG Antifungal Treatment for Horses, 32 oz.
I have a grey, and she is the messiest horse! She loves to get stained so she needs this to get the stains out. I also use this on socks
Purple Shampoo for Colored Hair | Toning & Sulfate-Free Options
Emergency Supplies
My horses love to injure themselves so here is some stuff that I use for when they get hurt.
I use this a lot! My mare has a suspensory injury so I use this when her leg is a little puffy. It's also good for when they have inflammation in their legs.
Ice Therapy Products
Banamine is a no doubt necessity! Colic is no joke and not fun for horse and owner. Just remember to get it from a vet.
Banamine® Paste
This is also a great way to get horses hydrated in emergency's. I've used this in colic, when they won't drink. I use this when I first see them acting weird and it works really well.
AniMed Right Lyte Gel Syringe, 60 ml
My young gelding loves to get himself hurt, and this works so well! It gets the swelling down and helps with the pain.
Bute-Less® Comfort & Recovery Supplement Pellets
Grooming Supplys
I LOVE this thing! It fits perfectly in my hand and makes grooming so much easier, it gets the dirt to the surface so easily!

Great for lifting the dirt up too!
Tough1 Genie Groom Horse Brush
Amazing curry comb aswell.
Partrade Junior Hard Rubber Curry Horse Comb, Black
This is a super good brush to remove the dirt.
DuMOR Stiff Bristle Horse Finishing Brush, 1-5/8 in.
Amazing for getting the shine on the horses coat beautiful.
Horze Deluxe Soft Body Brush
I've tried alot other hoof picks but this one is amazing and never gets rust!
Horze Hoof Pick with Brush
Best face brush ever! It's small but that makes it easy to get the dirt out of the small spaces on the horses face. I also use it on their legs before I clip them or just to get them clean.
Decker Equine Face Brush
Although this is a brush for humans I find that this works better for the mane and tail better than the equine made brushes for them. They are also a better price and higher quality.
Conair Ceramic Wood Nylon Bristle Cushion Paddle Hair Brush - All Hair
Winter Blankets
I live in the desert, so it doesn't get cold often. But when it does it can be hard for the horses to stay warm if they do not have a fluffy coat, so here are my favorite blankets!
I have this for my gelding, and he loves it! He doesn't get much of a winter coat, so this kept him nice and warm during the winter.
Tough1 420 Denier Closed Front Stable Sheet
One of my favorites! I had this for my mare but sadly she ripped it in the trailer. I don't recommend this if your trailering your horse, but this is amazing for the stable!
Saxon Channel Quilt Standard Neck Stable Blanket
Sheets
Sometimes the weather can't decide if it wants to be cold or warm, so here are my favorite sheets to use if its too warm for a blanket but too cold for nothing.
Tough1 blankets are one of my favorites! They are so durable and they last forever.
Tough1 420 Denier Turnout Sheet
Sadly I don't have one of these, but they look super comfortable for the horse!
WeatherBeeta Cotton Show Sheet
Fly Sheets
I sometimes use flysheets, my mare gets terrible bug bites so this helps her be more comfortable and so the bugs don't get her.
Definitely my favorite fly sheet! I had this for my mare and it worked so well! It kept her cool and the flys could not get her.
Rambo Protector Plus Fly Sheet
This is another great one!
Professionals Choice Comfort-Fit Fly Sheet
I don't have one, but sometimes I'm tempted to get one just to see how funny my horse looks!
