Getting your
horse ready to go showing can be a long and arduous process, especially in all
this heat! So the Hartpury Saddlery Team have put together some of our favorite items from Nettex to help you out, and reduce the amount of time you
need to spend making your horse look dashing.
Nettex have
a fantastic range of no-rinse shampoos, which means you can ride your horse and
instead of giving him a full bath after, you can wash him off as usual and just
apply the shampoo with a quick sweat scrape after. There are several different
smells you can choose from, including lavender and peppermint, however in this
hot weather we suggest you use the citronella to help deter those pesky flies!
After your
quick rinse, the use of Nettex main and tail detangler means that you can brush
through his tail quickly in the morning without taking half it out with your
brush. A quick spray over with a coat spray to repel the dust, dirt and grime
is also a must to ensure quick grooming in the morning. Whether you plait in
the morning or the night before, the Nettex plaiting spray gives a fantastic
grip on the main to make plaiting your horse much easier.
So you get
to the yard in the morning and your horse has very kindly covered himself in
poo! How rude. Well never fear, the Nettex stain remover is the thing for you!
It quickly removes stable and grass stains leaving him lovely once again. Make
sure you have the Nettex sunblock in the lorry or car as you can use this on
both yourself and your horse, no need to have multiple pots, one does all… Less
to remember is always a bonus.
Once you are
at your show, the eye and nose wipes ensure a clean face as they effectively
remove any tear stains, and help you remove any marks he may have got on
himself whilst in transit. A quick spray with the Nettex D.E.E.T based fly spray
will help ensure the flies are
deterred, so you don’t have to battle with them alongside everything else. The
traditional hoof oil from Nettex ensures that your hooves are looking shiny and
fabulous, without drying them out, and includes a brush. A quick spray with the
Nettex hi-shimmer coat spray ensures even the dullest of coats is made to stand
out, and off you go to look fabulous in the showing ring!
Happy
showing!
