As an equestrian, you will already know that by grooming your horse daily you are increasing blood flow to the surface of the skin, therefore helping to maintain healthy skin and coat but also affording you the opportunity to check your horse over for any lumps, bumps and cuts.
However, there are far wider reaching benefits too which don’t get discussed within grooming features. Having spoken to numerous customers about their horses and their grooming experiences using our kit, we thought we’d pick our top 5 favourites
The Chance To Bond With Your Horse
The perfect bonding opportunity each and every time you pick up a brush, nothing gives us more pleasure than the joy a good grooming session can give to a horse. Whether you discover ‘that spot’ they love you to brush, or he nudges you to groom him some more, or even points to the area with his nose, these are cherished interactions and further cement a trusting relationship.
The Opportunity To Spend Time With Your Horse Productively
It’s easy to get into the habit of dashing from one-yard chore to another or racing to the yard, only to ride then rush off again just because time is tight. But time spent grooming coupled with using the right grooming tools means that you can enjoy grooming your horse with improved results and less effort. Busy equestrians are possibly the most organised folk we know, which is why we created a kit that works hard, so you don’t have to.
To Pause & Reflect
Our horses are not the only ones to enjoy the grooming experience. For many busy equestrians, the opportunity to stop and focus on something else other than everyday life is a joy. Whilst grooming your horse may not be particularly taxing on the brain, it does allow us an opportunity to direct our focus on getting rid of those stable stains or muddy legs for a short while and reflect on the fantastic relationships which we have with our horses.
Taking Pride In Your Turnout
We all take pride in our horses, and nothing fills a horse owner with more pride than a complimentary comment! Our customers tell us that our kit delivers superb results but also that the tools are a pleasure to use. Many have cobbled together bits and pieces over the years to make up ‘their’ grooming kit, so when people experience our kit as one (with each tool designed to work in harmony with the other), all feedback is positive! Most people comment about how much easier it is to groom their horses, and how much quicker it is to have an effective, streamlined kit that works!
Playing A Part In The Routine
For some horse owners, particularly those who have their horses at livery, the opportunity to be part of their horses’ daily routine is not possible. For these equestrians, being able to spend time grooming their horse before and after riding is a superb opportunity to spend some quality time with their equine friend, other than in the saddle. For these equestrians, this everyday practice is something many look forward to as much as the ridden aspect of horse ownership.
