Horsetraining- Equipment



Horsetraining equipment is very basic. To start off with, you always need brushes. Usually three different brushes are used. The first brush is the round rubber brush. It will work deep into your horses hair. It loosens up all dirt and extra hair on the horse. The second brush is the stiff brush. It will remove all of that unwanted hair and dirt and make sure there is nothing stuck on your horse that may hurt you horse when putting the saddle on. The last brush used for horsetraining equipment is the soft brush. It puts a shine back in your horses coat and they love it when you brush their face with it!

Out of all the horsetraining equipment, the saddle can be the most complex. When picking out a saddle, you don't just want to pick out the prettiest or flashiest one. You need to pick a saddle that will fit your horse. If it is not comfortable for your horse, it will show when you ride. The second thing to consider is finding one that also fits you. There are different size seats for all sizes of people.

For the last horsetraining equipment you will need a bridle and a blanket for your saddle. The blanket should be consistent with the weather you are riding in. If you are riding in the summer time, you want a very light blanket that also has support for your horse. For winter riding, you will want something thicker for the cooler weather. Bridles are pretty basic. There are different layouts for a bridle. You can get a bridle with one ear, or two, or a whole brow band. They come in many different colors and they are all adjustable in length. When getting a bit with your bridle, all you need is a snaffle. It is kind to your horses mouth.
