Davis Replacement Theraputic Hoof Pads $6 SBS equine Products and Davis Manufacturing have joined forces to develop a new delivery system for treating infections of the sole, frog and hoof wall. The secret is the addition of a new pad that fits into the Davis Horse Boot with new fiber matrix technology.When saturated with SBS Sav-A-Hoof Soak or Med-i-Sole gel, the pad wicks the ingredients to the affected area of the hoof without spilling or running. According to Ray Tricca of SBS, the technique is safer and more effective than most other treatments because it promotes a much longer contact time with the hoof without harming hoof tissue.Tricca also said that soaking can soften the hoof and over-soaking with products containing chlorine, formaldehyde, heavy metals, or other toxins can permanently damage hoof tissue.Sold in Pairs.

If there is one thing above all else you should know about horse riding it is that helmets save lives. However, so many people take unnecessary chances and ride without one. Professional and amateur riders in all different types of equestrian sports risk their lives by riding without head protection. Unfortunately, many figure out the consequences the hard way.

Both western and English riding enthusiasts should wear horse riding helmets. It shouldn’t matter if you will be jumping fences or taking a slow stroll through a field. Head injuries from horseback riding can happen at anytime and anywhere. The only surefire way to safeguard against them is by wearing horse riding helmets.

Grabbing any riding helmet is not the best way to go about choosing the appropriate protection against head injuries. Your helmet must be ASTM/SEI certified, meaning it passed rigorous guidelines for the protection of human skulls. Non-certified helmets do not provide satisfactory protection. Furthermore, your helmet has to fit correctly in order to be of use. Beginner riders should always bring a trainer or instructor with them for advice or ask an associate at the store for help.

It is very important your horse riding helmet fits correctly. An improperly fitting helmet may not provide the maximum protection needed. Here are a few tips to make sure your horse riding helmet fits properly:

Measure the size of your head. Place measuring tape around one inch above your eyebrows. Always round the measurement to the nearest half-inch.

Your riding helmet shouldn’t shift forward or backward when touched.

Try moving your helmet from side to side. It is supposed to fit snugly all around your head. If you find there is room between your head and the helmet, go down to a smaller size. If your head feels cramped or squeezed inside the helmet to the point it is uncomfortable, try on a larger size.

If you have longer hair, pull it back into a low ponytail at the nape of the neck. Adjust your helmet’s chin strap. You preferably would like it so that it fits snug under your chin. Test the helmet’s brim. It is supposed to be about one and a half inches above your eyebrows. If it is any higher than that, the helmet will not provide full protection.

Always follow the manufacturer instructions. Different brands will fit in their own way.

It is important to remember that safety standards are constantly changing and improving. So even if your helmet meets ASTM and SEI standards, it might still be obsolete. Experts recommended replacing your helmet every four to five years even if it has never been damaged from a fall or other accident.

Ted Stinson is a horse enthusiast who writes various articles on horses and the best methods of caring for a horse. Many of his topics include subjects ranging from the best riding boots to use to what type of horse riding helmets work best.

I have a question about saddles and saddle blankets?

Okie Dokie. So I am basically planning everything out because I am trying to convince my dad to get me a horse. I just emailed the owner if she knew the size of saddle he uses. (I am fairly close to the owner since I go and work/ride there every week.)
So when she tells me the size, could I use that size to find an appropriate saddle blanket/pad size??

More info please. (oh, it’s an All Purpose saddle)

Thanks!!
Oh, sorry. This is for english.
and I just mean the size. not the thickness.
Well, the size the owner gives me will be ok for him right? (stupid question..i know)

If you mean the tree size, then you should defintely go with that. There’s Arabian bars, Semi-Quarter Horse, Full Quarter Horse, and Pony bars, and maybe more. It’s very important to find the correct saddle. If not, it can lead to back/shoulder problems. This horse at the barn where I ride had a saddle that didn’t fit him for so long that he couldn’t be rode for months and now has to be rode in an English saddle because Western saddles aren’t good on his back. That’s just a little example of why it’s so important. My QH is very hard to fit saddles to. Not only is the tree size important, but the front has to be cut back enough to allow plenty of room for the shoulders to move. Hope this helped!
