Tack manufacturers are constantly innovating and introducing new equipment to cater for the needs for horses and riders. So if you’re looking for a new saddle, bridle, bit, girth, saddle cloth or protective boot for your horse, this is the place to find out about the latest equipment being released.
This is also the place to come for news of rule changes linked to what tack is allowed to be used in specific equestrian sports, and the latest research into tack, including bits, bridles, saddles, and other equipment.
Comfort is key if your horse is going to perform at his best and this has been a key focus in the development of new items of tack in recent years. From comfort head pieces to girths designed to spread pressure across the widest possible area to ergonomically-designed bits, if there is something new coming on to the market, we will bring you all you need to know about it.
If your company has launched a new item of tack or equestrian equipment suitable for inclusion here, please email details to us.
