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.

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)

Bucas Competition Cooler RRP: from £78-£80
