Horse: Everything for feeding, keeping, equipment and riding

Horse: well supplied from stable to saddle

Owning a horse means responsibility and a great deal of joy every day. Whether you have a leisure horse in an open stable, a sport horse at livery or a pony on your own smallholding, at Agrarzone you will find horse supplies for every area, from feed and supplements through stable and pasture equipment, tack and care products to equestrian sports, first aid and clothing for you as a rider.

Well fed and kept the natural way

The basis of all horse feeding is good forage, meaning hay or haylage in sufficient quantity. Hard feed is added according to need and workload, while mineral feed and salt balance out what is missing from the basic ration. Fresh water should always be available, and changes to the diet are best made gradually. In the stable and field, water troughs, hay nets, hay racks, feed bowls and well thought out equipment ensure order, safety and plenty of movement.

Equipped for care, training and riding

A well fitting saddle, a suitable bridle and a safe headcollar are the foundation for relaxed riding and leading. Rugs, leg protection and fly protection shield your horse depending on the weather and season. During daily grooming you check the coat, skin and hooves. Lunging, groundwork and arena equipment add variety to training, and with a well stocked first aid kit you are prepared for small emergencies. For you there are riding hats, riding clothes and boots.

Frequently asked questions

What basic equipment do I need for my own horse?
The essentials are a headcollar and lead rope, a grooming kit with a hoof pick, a saddle and bridle that fit, and a cooler rug. Add buckets, a hay net and a small first aid kit with a thermometer and bandaging material. Everything else depends on how your horse is kept and your discipline.

How often does the farrier need to come?
As a rule of thumb every six to eight weeks, whether your horse is shod or barefoot. Depending on hoof growth, season and workload, it may be a little sooner or later. Your farrier or trimmer will tell you which rhythm suits your horse.

Does my horse need a rug in winter?
Not every horse needs a rug. Healthy horses with a winter coat usually cope well with the cold if they have shelter and enough hay. Clipped, older, ill or very fine-coated horses, on the other hand, often benefit from a suitable rug.
