Unsure about the fit of your current helmet?

This video has step by step instructions on how to ensure your helmet is a good fit.

The safest helmet is the helmet that fits your head best!

A helmet that is too big or small, or the wrong shape for your head can put you at a greater risk for serious brain injuries during a fall.

What is Mips exactly?

Mips stands for Multi-Directional Impact Protection System.

The Mips safety system features a low-friction layer inside the helmet that allows multi-directional movement of 10-15mm on certain angled impacts.

The impacts that occur from falling are typically angled impacts. This can cause rotational motion, a common cause for concussions and brain injuries in oblique hits to the head. A helmet equipped with Mips is intended to help manage those forces and reduce the rotational motion.

The yellow low-friction layer can be found in your Tipperary Windsor or Devon helmet, underneath the removable liner.

One of the most import things you can do for your horse is to learn what discomfort looks like!

Putting Horses First - Why is it so hard?

Realistically, horses have never come first when it comes to the desires of humans.

They have been used for centuries for work, transport, war - and the industry continues to find ways of using them, now for our entertainment and personal goals, without regard for their welfare.

What a sad reflection on humanity to continue to flaunt horses in pain under the guise of horsemanship, covered up with false sentiments and false claims of caring.

The evidence and research is there to tell the difference between a horse that is being cared for or not.

There is no excuse, but excuses keep being found and justified.

All of the happy riders flaunting medals and ribbons, being celebrated publicly, with photos, all while sitting on horses in pain and discomfort.

All being accepted by so many as perfectly fine.

A change must come. We must advocate for these horses to be treated better - from the top down.

Raise Awareness. Educate. Advocate.

This is the Vision and Mission of Equitopia through our education platform and our recently formed Alliance for Horse Welfare in Sport.

Join the evolution and be part of the change that needs to happen.

Here's something we're excited about!

The new Horseware Dry Liner is a game changer for wet or sweaty horses in the winter.

This amazing liner eliminates the need to dry your horse before blanketing! 🤯
Yes, you read that right!

From Horseware.com
"This Horseware® Dry Liner (50g Light) is every horse owner's dream rug! Drying sweaty horses quickly and efficiently - saving you time and effort. Designed to eliminate the need to use a separate moisture-wicking rug after exercise, you attach this liner to your Horseware® turnout or stable rug and it does the job of drying your horse while they enjoy their field time. No more waiting around for your horse to completely dry before dressing them for the field, giving them total comfort, and giving you peace of mind.

The breathable liner consists of a sophisticated triple-layered fabric construction which creates the perfect conditions for excellent moisture evaporation to help to dry your horse even when fully blanketed without creating a damp environment inside your turnout rug. Here's how it works:

Layer 1: A moisture-wicking ultra-soft polar fleece supports your horses' natural ability to wick moisture away from the skin while providing ultimate comfort.

Layer 2: 50g high loft fibrefill is layered in the middle to help drive moisture created by your horse's body heat further away from your horse, assisting in moisture evaporation and keeping your horse warm.

Layer 3: The top layer consists of a 3D 'airmesh' for improved air circulation, giving increased airspace within its fabric construction, sustaining warmth and further aiding moisture evaporation, preventing your outer rug from becoming damp or your horse from feeling a chill.

With dual leg arches for freedom of movement and a simple and secure Velcro front closure along with clips at the back to secure, this liner is a must for your rug accessories!"

A very important reminder to keep a close eye on those easy keepers!

09/10/2023

Bathing is an important part of keeping your horses skin and coat healthy.

After a dry, dusty summer, your horse may have a build up of dander, dirt and dried sweat trapped underneath their hair coat. The addition of a blanket over top of dirty skin can cause irritation, itching, and even fungal infections.

As we continue our prep for the fall season, the window for giving your horse that final summer bath is quickly closing.

Don't wait until it's too cold!
