Buying guide for horse accessories – everything for you and your horse
Horse care
Horse care is a broad term but includes everything within coat care, hoof care, exercise for the horse as well as care of the stable and horse paddock. Some horse care needs to be carried out daily, while other things can be done every few days.
Grooming
Grooming of the horse is often included in the daily horse care and is carried out with a dense brush. Grooming is done to keep the horse and its coat clean of dried dirt and sweat, and can also be comfortable for the horse and remove excess hair when the horse moults.
In our range you will find different types of brushes for grooming such as a coarse brush, rubber shedding brush or a root brush. Do not forget to buy a handy bag to store your grooming brushes in.
Horse equipment
Having the right and quality horse equipment is important for you as a rider, the horse and for a functioning everyday life in the stable. At Biltema you will find hoof boots, halters, horse blankets, saddle pads, neoprene boots and salt licks. For you and your horse's safety, you can also buy halters, riding blankets and neoprene boots in reflective material, so that you are properly visible if you are out riding in the dark.
Equestrian equipment
To reduce the risk of injury while riding, all riders should ensure that all their equestrian equipment is intact. It is important that your riding helmet and safety vest are approved according to the EU rules for CE marking.
