💛🐴 BE BRIGHT. BE SEEN. BE SAFE! 🐴💛

🍂 The clocks have gone back, the evenings are drawing in, and those grey, gloomy autumn days are well and truly here!

Whether you're hacking out, riding along country lanes or heading to the yard, NOW IS THE TIME TO GET YOUR HI-VIS SORTED! 🌧️

At Brendon Saddlery, we've got a great selection of hi-vis clothing and accessories to help you and your horse stand out!

💛 WHY HI-VIS MATTERS!

🚗 BE SEEN SOONER – Bright fluorescent colours help you stand out during daylight, particularly against dull autumn backgrounds.

🌧️ GREY SKIES & POOR VISIBILITY – Make yourself more noticeable to other road users on those miserable, overcast days.

🐴 DON'T FORGET YOUR HORSE! – Hi-vis exercise sheets, leg bands and other accessories can help make your horse more visible too.

✨ REFLECTIVE DETAILS MAKE A DIFFERENCE – Reflective materials help you stand out when illuminated by vehicle headlights.

👀 VISIBILITY FROM ALL ANGLES – Wearing hi-vis on both horse and rider can help other road users spot you more easily.

💡 OUR TOP TIP: Don't rely on just one piece of hi-vis! Combining fluorescent clothing with reflective accessories on both horse and rider is a sensible choice.

⚠️ REMEMBER: Hi-vis improves visibility but doesn't guarantee safety. Always ride according to the conditions, and avoid hacking on roads when visibility is dangerously poor.

💛 DON'T BLEND INTO THE AUTUMN BACKGROUND – STAND OUT!

📍 Pop into Brendon Saddlery, Pyecombe, and explore our range of hi-vis essentials or buy on-line.

👇 BE HONEST…

Are you…

💛 A – Head-to-toe hi-vis, including the horse!

🐴 B – Just a hi-vis vest and a few accessories!

😂 C – So bright you can probably be seen from space!

🐴🌧️ MUD FEVER SEASON IS HERE… ARE YOU PREPARED? 🌧️🐴

Mud, rain, soggy fields and muddy gateways… welcome to autumn with horses! 🍂😂

And while our horses might LOVE a good roll in the mud, their legs aren't always quite so enthusiastic!

LET'S TALK MUD FEVER! 🐴

Wet, muddy conditions can weaken the skin's natural protective barrier, making horses more vulnerable to irritation and infection.

At Brendon Saddlery, we've got a range of mud fever care products to help you look after those precious legs!

🧴 BARRIER CREAMS
Help protect healthy skin from prolonged exposure to wet and muddy conditions.

🫧 GENTLE CLEANSING PRODUCTS
Useful for cleaning legs when necessary, without excessive scrubbing or washing.

🐴 SKINCARE & SOOTHING PRODUCTS
Designed to support skin care and help maintain healthy skin during the wetter months.

🧤 MUD FEVER BOOTS
An additional protective option for some horses, provided they're correctly fitted and kept clean and dry inside.

💡 OUR TOP TIPS FOR MUD FEVER SEASON!

✔️ Check your horse's legs regularly for scabs, redness, swelling or soreness.

✔️ Avoid repeatedly washing legs unless necessary. Constant wetting can make matters worse!

✔️ Allow muddy legs to dry naturally where practical, then gently brush away loose mud.

✔️ Apply barrier products to clean, dry, healthy skin, following the manufacturer's instructions.

✔️ Avoid picking off firmly attached scabs or scrubbing sore skin.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: If your horse develops painful, swollen, hot or infected-looking legs, contact your vet. Mud fever can require veterinary treatment, and not every skin condition is mud fever.

🌧️ DON'T WAIT UNTIL MUD FEVER BECOMES A PROBLEM!

Pop into Brendon Saddlery, Pyecombe, and explore our range of mud fever prevention and skincare essentials.

🐴 A little preparation now can make managing muddy conditions much easier or buy on-line.

👇 LET'S HEAR FROM YOU!

What's your biggest challenge during mud fever season?

🌧️ A – Constantly muddy legs!

🐴 B – A horse that's prone to mud fever!

🧴 C – Finding a skincare routine that works!

😂 D – Finding a field that isn't a swamp!

🐴🌧️ MUD, MUD & MORE MUD… HERE WE GO AGAIN! 😂

If your horse's field is starting to resemble a swamp, you know what's coming!

🍂 MUD FEVER SEASON! 🍂

Wet, muddy conditions can create the perfect environment for mud fever, leaving horses with sore, irritated skin and scabby legs.

But there are ways to help protect those precious legs!

🐴 MUD FEVER BOOTS – A WINTER WARDROBE ESSENTIAL!

✔️ Help reduce direct contact between mud and your horse's lower legs.

✔️ Provide a protective barrier during muddy turnout.

✔️ Designed for practical everyday use in challenging conditions.

✔️ Available in different styles to suit your horse's needs.

💡 TOP TIP: Mud fever boots aren't a guaranteed preventative. Correct fit, clean boots and keeping legs from becoming damp underneath are essential.

🛍️ We've got mud fever boots at Brendon Saddlery!

Don't wait until your horse's legs are covered in mud and scabs before thinking about winter leg care!

📍 Visit us at Brendon Saddlery, Pyecombe, and let us help you find the right protection.

🐴🍂 A FRESH RUG FOR A COSY NIGHT IN! 🍂🐴

After a day in the field battling wind, rain and mud, there's something lovely about bringing your horse into a clean, comfortable stable! 🏡🐴

But here's a question…

DO YOU CHANGE INTO A STABLE RUG AT NIGHT OR LEAVE THE TURNOUT RUG ON? 👀

While modern turnout rugs can often be worn indoors, there are some great reasons to have a dedicated stable rug in your horse's wardrobe!

🐴 WHY CHOOSE A STABLE RUG?

✨ CLEANER & MORE COMFORTABLE
After a muddy day in the field, a clean stable rug means your horse isn't spending the night wearing a dirty outer layer.

🌧️ GIVE THAT TURNOUT RUG TIME TO DRY
Changing rugs gives you the opportunity to dry, inspect and air your turnout rug before the next day's adventures!

🧸 SOFT & COMFORTABLE
Stable rugs are designed specifically for indoor use, without needing the heavy-duty waterproof outer fabric of a turnout rug.

🌡️ CHOOSE THE RIGHT WARMTH
With different rug weights available, you can select the right level of insulation for your horse and the stable conditions.

🐴 A CHANCE TO CHECK YOUR HORSE
Changing rugs provides the perfect opportunity to check for rubbing, skin irritation, changes in condition or any little lumps and bumps!

💷 A WORTHWHILE INVESTMENT
Having separate stable and turnout rugs allows you to rotate them, keep them clean and look after them properly.

💡 OUR TOP TIP: A wet or uncomfortable rug shouldn't be left on overnight. However, a clean, dry, well-fitting turnout rug may be perfectly suitable in the stable. Always consider your horse's individual needs and avoid over-rugging!

🐴 FRESH RUG. COMFORTABLE HORSE. HAPPY OWNER! ❤️

At Brendon Saddlery, we've got a lovely selection of stable rugs, from lightweight options to warmer weights for the colder months ahead.

📍 Pop into Brendon Saddlery, Pyecombe, and explore our range or buy on-line.

👇 LET'S SETTLE THE GREAT RUG DEBATE!

🐴 A – Stable rug on every night!

🌧️ B – Turnout rug stays on if it's dry and comfortable!

😂 C – My horse has a bigger wardrobe than I do!

🐴🌧️ SECOND-HAND RUG OR BRAND-NEW? LET'S TALK TURNOUT RUGS! 🌧️🐴

We all love a bargain, especially when it comes to horses! 💷😂

But when the rain starts falling and your horse is standing in a muddy field, is that second-hand turnout rug really the bargain you thought it was? 👀

Here's why investing in a BRAND-NEW TURNOUT RUG could be money well spent!

☔ WATERPROOF CONFIDENCE
With a new rug, you know you're starting with a fresh waterproof coating and no unknown history of wear, washing or reproofing.

🐴 NO PREVIOUS WEAR & TEAR
No hidden repairs, stretched straps, worn stitching or tired fastenings from years of use.

✨ CLEAN, FRESH & UNUSED
No lingering dirt, hair or potential contamination from another horse's skin. A fresh start for your horse!

💪 BETTER VALUE THAN YOU MIGHT THINK
A well-chosen new rug can provide seasons of use when properly fitted, maintained and cared for.

🌧️ READY FOR WHATEVER AUTUMN THROWS AT US!
From lightweight turnout rugs for milder days to warmer options as temperatures drop, choosing the right rug makes all the difference.

💡 OUR TOP TIP: A good turnout rug isn't just about warmth. Fit, waterproofing, breathability and your horse's individual needs all matter!

🐴 SECOND-HAND HAS ITS PLACE… BUT SOMETIMES NEW JUST MAKES SENSE!

At Brendon Saddlery, we offer a selection of new turnout rugs at prices that might surprise you!

Why not compare the cost of buying new before taking a chance on a pre-loved rug?
