A hugely successful Amerigo demo evening at Hartpury College took place on Friday 4 November in front of a 300 strong crowd, raising £800 for charity.

Organised by Zebra Products, the Amerigo Gala Event was expertly compered by eventing supremo Lucinda Green who guided the audience through the evening’s proceedings. Peter Menet, Amerigo’s renowned saddle designer got things started with a talk about horse biomechanics and the importance of saddle fitting.

Cavalor® Dry Feet makes the hoof a less hospitable home for necrotic bacteria thanks to the combination of different active ingredients. Glutaraldehyde has an astringent (drying) and hardening effect, while Benzalkonium chloride makes sure the product sticks to the hoof longer.
Thrush is a very common bacterial infection that occurs on the hoof of a horse, specifically in the region of the frog. Horses with deep clefts or narrow or contracted heels are more at risk of developing thrush. Even if you try to keep your horse’s environment as clean as possible, bacteria are always prominent. Horses often stay in a stable with manure or a wet, muddy paddock.

Total balance and optimal coordination of movement for both horse and rider are the inspirations behind the design, making it an excellent choice for dressage riders of all levels.

Statement from Chris Farr at BE.

In relation to the hat standards for 2016 onwards all SEI ASTM F1163 04a will be accepted for use in BE competition and, as long as they do not have a peak (as per wording in the statement) may be tagged for use in the XC phase.

Cavalor® SoleMate provides natural care and prevention of sensitive hooves. The paste you put on the bottom of the horse’s feet functions as a cushion. Epsom salts combined with arnica will have a soothing effect on the frog and sole.
The use of Pine Tar in Cavalor® SoleMate will help to maintain the right moisture balance in the hoof to promote healthy hoof growth.
Cavalor® SoleMate has been specially designed for use on the frog and sole after hard work, training sessions or on the day before or during periods of major physical effort, such as competitions.
Available in a 1.6kg jar, priced at around RRP £94.00.
