New Veredus Carbon Gel Absolute Boot

NEW from Veredus is the Carbon Gel Absolute Boot by Marcus Ehning
This boot has been developed to provide the very best protection, by extending the protective surface of the gel and carbon from the flexor tendon to the fetlock in an innovative inverted Y shape.

The carbon outer shell is not only ultra-lightweight, it is also highly resistant to shocks especially in the areas of the tendon and fetlock, which are more at risk of knocks and bangs from other legs.
The Nitrexgel membrane is able to dissipate impacts by over 40% ensuring additional safety of your horses’ legs.

Lunging – from Fleck

Lunging – from Fleck

Lunging is probably one of the most effective ways of exercising your horse when daylight is limited and time is tight and using the right equipment is essential. Fleck offer a wide range of Lunge Whips that are all premium quality, super lightweight and balanced so making the job easier. Modern materials such as fibreglass, hollow glass and carbon are incredibly lightweight - enabling the handler to have a greater degree of control over its use.

The Fleck Hollow Fibreglass 2 part telescopic lunge whip 05065 comes in two lengths 180cm or 200cm and is a clever telescopic design, which allows the user to unscrew the hollow fibreglass shaft to replace it with a different length or for storage.

It features a rubberised Golf grip designed to fit comfortably in the hand and offers excellent grip to help prevent the hand from slipping. Available in a range of colours the whip has a lacquered finish to add to the style and durability.

All Fleck whips are individually hand made in Germany.
