The professionals’ choice

Riders seeking maximum performance combined with ultimate protection for their horses when jumping should look no further than the pro-jump short vento boots from Veredus.

These innovative functional fetlock boots help to improve performance thanks to their effect on the horse’s hind leg action, and are popular with leading showjumpers including; Bertram Allen, Marcus Ehning and Pius Schwizer. Meanwhile the anatomically shaped guard protects the fetlock, while the VENTO system, characterised by double ventilation, keeps the horse’s tendons cool as the heat is channelled to the outside by the 3D mesh ducted fabric. The boots are also waterproof.
The pro-jump short vento boots come in two options – either with interchangeable Velcro straps or with elastic straps and are available in medium and large, black or brown, RRP £115.

Sprenger’s slimmer alternative

Due to demand Sprenger has introduced new 12mm versions of its Novocontact bradoon and HO Weymouth bits.

With many horses having less room in their mouths to accommodate thick bits, especially in double bridles, the need for streamline models was recognised by the leading bit manufacturer.

Committed to safety and comfort of the horse, Sprenger undertook intensive research to ensure that these new slimmer versions wouldn't break under pressure. Both bits are manufactured using Sprenger's unique Sensogan material to give a more delicate and sophisticated connection to the horse.

  • Novocontact. Its unique oval shape design widens the contact area of the mouthpiece on the horse's tongue, without putting pressure on the palate. Ideal for horses with sensitive mouths.
  • HO Weymouth. Its slanting mouthpiece and a smooth, rounded port is angled forward to give even distribution of pressure on the tongue. Suitable for horses that dislike tongue pressure.

Novocontact bradoon from RRP £95 and, Ho Weymouth from RRP £265.

Amerigo extends Vega line

The Vega Dressage Siena and Vega Close Contact Dressage saddles are also available as monoflaps, and in black and brown, RRP £2,700.
The Amerigo Vega 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.
