Bags: Bum bags, multi bags and holdalls for riders and the yard

Bags: everything with you, everything in its place

Riders have a lot to carry: phone and keys on a hack, grooming kit and boots for the yard, a change of clothes and the horse passport for a show. The right bags make sure nothing goes missing. We stock bum bags and phone pouches for riding, large and small shoulder bags, multi bags for storage, holdalls for travelling and a wallet for the horse passport, so you are organised wherever you go.

Small and close to the body

When you ride, your phone is best kept right on your body. A bum bag or strap on phone pouch sits snugly on your hip, does not flap and can be opened even in the saddle. That way your phone is within reach if you have a fall or run into trouble out on a hack. Small bags are also handy for keys, treats and a hoof pick while you work at the yard.

Large for the yard, shows and travel

A multi bag or large bag holds grooming kit, bandages, boots or rugs. Tough, wipe clean materials cope with dust and straw. For travelling and show weekends, a roomy holdall that also fits riding clothes and shoes is practical. A horse passport wallet protects the passport from damp and creases. Highly visible saddle bags with reflective strips are useful on the saddle when hacking out.

Frequently asked questions

Where should I keep my phone when hacking?
The safest place is on your body, in a bum bag or a phone pouch on your breeches. In a saddle bag it is out of reach if you fall and your horse runs off. Many riders also save an emergency contact so it is clearly visible on the lock screen.

What should go in a show bag?
The horse passport, show clothes, gloves, hairnet, a spare stock and a cloth for polishing boots are a good start. Add drinks, a snack and a small first aid kit for rider and horse. With a fixed packing list you will not forget anything.

How do I clean a yard bag?
Shake out straw and dust regularly and wipe the bag with a damp cloth. Many bags made from synthetic fabric can also be cleaned with a soft brush and a little soapy water. Then leave them open to dry in the air.
