Everything You Need for Year-Round Horse Care

Everyday Maintenance for Healthy Horses

Your horse’s care routine should be as tailored as their training plan. We supply the essentials to keep your horse in peak condition—shampoos, conditioners, hoof dressings, mane and tail detanglers, and skin balms for daily use. Whether you're preparing for a show or just freshening up after turnout, you'll find a grooming and care product that suits.

Fly Protection & Itch Relief

Summer can bring challenges like flies, midges and itchy skin. Browse our fly repellents, insecticidal shampoos, sweet itch creams, and protective sprays to keep your horse comfortable. We also stock fly rugs and masks to work alongside your topical treatments.

Mud Fever Prevention & Treatment

In muddy seasons, prevent leg conditions with our mud fever washes, barrier creams, and leg wraps. These help protect your horse’s skin from prolonged dampness, especially in turnout conditions or fields with heavy ground.

First Aid & Wound Care

Every tack room needs a stocked first aid kit. We offer wound sprays, antibacterial creams, saline washes, non-stick dressings, and bandages for both minor injuries and post-vet care.

Respiratory & Immune Health

Support your horse's respiratory system with steam inhalants, soothing syrups, and airways supplements, especially if they’re stabled often or competing in dusty arenas. These products can help reduce coughing and promote clear breathing.

Skin Conditions & Specialist Support

Our range includes products for fungal issues, scurf, hair loss, and sensitive skin conditions. Popular lines include Goodbye Flys, NAF, Barrier, and Carr & Day & Martin, offering natural and veterinary-style solutions.

Invest in your horse's health and comfort with our carefully curated selection of equine care products. From daily maintenance to specialized treatments, we have everything you need to keep your horse in optimal condition.
