Italian saddle brand Amerigo has launched a new jump saddle - the CC Basso.
The first saddle specially designed for horses that have a lot of compensation in their backs and a straighter topline, the Basso combines technology with supreme craftsmanship.(Compensation is the difference in height between the withers and the lowest part of the back.)
Each saddle comes complete with a wooden spring tree and wool flocked panels and is handmade according to the needs of horse and rider, to ensure their well being and improve performance.
The Basso is available as Pinerolo, Pinerolo Monoflap, plain or printed refined leather, with a choice of knee rolls, and there is also a forward flap option. RRP: £3,400 for Pinerolo versions or £3,300 for plain leather.
The quality and function of Amerigo saddles is constantly tested and perfected across all disciplines, and they are now the preferred choice of many top equestrian athletes including Sam Griffiths, Nicola Wilson and Billy Twomey. The Amerigo saddle collection offers a selection of different models for both dressage and jumping, as well as a wide range of choices to ensure a perfect fit for both horse and rider.

New From Bucas

The Ultimate rain and fly turnout rug from Bucas 

Hot on the heels of outstanding success in 2013 with the launch of the Bucas Zebra Fly Rug, the brand has launched a hybrid rain and fly sheet just in time for the 2014 Sweet Itch Season.

The Bucas Buzz-Off Rain Zebra is an innovative combination of the waterproof and breathable properties of their proven rain-sheet with the hugely successful Zebra pattern printed fly mesh.

This hybrid rug is perfectly shaped in a Black, waterproof and breathable rip stop nylon, to protect the back, shoulders and hindquarters from the rain. The sides of the rug which are generous in length are in the unique zebra stripe which repels flying insects. Research was carried out by scientists, that proves that the zebra stripe actually protects the animal as flies are confused by the pattern, avoiding it.

The Bucas Buzz off Rain Zebra is the ultimate in quality. It comes with a detachable and adjustable zebra stripe belly pad to ensure the horse is completely protected from the flies. It is secured with a comfort, overlapped padded front and has a new tail cover design that incorporates a tail flap over the top of shaped back panels to provide even more protection from flies.

An additional Buzz-Off Rain Zebra Combi-Neck is also available to attach to the sheet. This has the Black waterproof, breathable fabric running down the mane area with the sides and under neck being made from the zebra mesh. This Combi neck secures firmly to the rug with hook & loop attachments and covers the horse from the top of the ears with an elasticated head band to keep it in place

Both fabrics in the Bucas Buzz-Off Rain Zebra and matching Combi-Neck ensure your horse is comfortable, dry and bite free.

So next time you can’t decide fly rug or rain sheet – you can have both.

The unique, innovative design ensures a softer aid for horses, thanks to the positioning of the rowel and its increased thickness. Favorites with Michael and Maria Eilberg, the spurs are ideal for horses with more sensitive skin or when their coat is changing as they don't mark.

As with all Sprenger spurs the Comfort Rollers fit perfectly to your riding boots, without any pressure or movement, to ensure maximum effect.

The spurs are available in Ultra Fit, RRP £66.40 and Ultra Fit Extra Grip (rubber covered), RRP £81.66.

The uvex winter ear warmers slot simply into the sides of the helmet, keeping the cold, wind and rain out.

RRP: £24.95

Bucas Competition Cooler

Keep chills at bay while out at competitions during the Spring months with the Bucas Competition Cooler.

The bottom half of the rug is made from a mesh that is designed to encourage airflow around the horse aiding its cooling and wicking properties.

This cooler is perfect for travelling to and from competitions and popping over the saddle while waiting around in the warm up arena. The Competition Cooler reduces the risk of catching a chill and is an important part of your horse’s wardrobe.

Shoulder darts ensure a good fit and plenty of shoulder room, while a low friction outer finish helps to prevent bedding from sticking. An overlapping front provides comfort and prevents rubbing from straps and fasteners, so you can rest assured your horse will be warm and cozy whatever the occasion.

The Competition Cooler has two detachable and adjustable surcingles on the inside to keep the rug in place letting you choose how to use them. You can just use one straight across the horses’ girth area to keep in place while out at a competition or both of them for extra security when in the stable

Sizes: 125cm – 170cm

Colours Navy/Silver (plus new SS 2014 seasonal colours - Antelope and Ochre)
