News from Spoga September 2015

As we head into 2016 riders will be aware that they cannot use helmets manufactured to BSEN1384 , and instead require helmets manufactured to the intermediary standard of VG1, PAS015, ASTM F1163 or SNELL.
All helmets in the uvex range are now being manufactured and kitemarked by BSI to VG1, and will be available from all good stockists from December 2015 onwards. It is anticipated that the new revised EN1384 standard, will be available in September 2016, bringing with it a harmonised future for all riders, manufacturers and associations.

Cavalor Dry Feet

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.

The uvex variotronic eyewear

Launched at Spoga in September 2015 the uvex variotronic eyewear is revolutionary and unlike any other product on the market.
The eyewear can be operated manually at the touch of a button, or be left to function automatically. Pressing the button underneath the arm of the eyewear triggers the electrochromatic activation of a liquid cystal film on the polycarbonate lens in just 0.1 second.

A sensor constantly monitors the light intensity and changes transmission from 64% light to 16% dark. The e-Tint liquid crystals in this high tech lens have been developed through our exclusive partnership with US experts at AlphaMicron, and modify the level of tint in an instant.
The re-chargeable eyewear is powered by a tiny built-in battery powered by USB cable which takes twenty minutes to charge and powers for fifty hours.
The uvex variotronic is available in Sports Shield, or full frame depending on your preference.
RRP Approx: £299.95

Cavalor SoleMate

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.

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.
