What’s NEW A look at the latest gear from the equine world

Kick off your boots

Using a traditional bootjack makes it almost impossible to keep your socks clean and dry as you have to place your clean foot on the same place you had your dirty boot. But the clever Boot Butler means no more muddy, wet socks. It’s made from oak and, after removing your boot, you simply flip the tread to reveal a clean and dry surface so that you can remove your other boot with minimum mess.

A complete feed for oldies

As your horse gets older, he may need help to maintain his condition and topline. The Pure Feed Company has launched a new range of feeds for veterans. It’s available as a mix or pellet and combines a high specification balancer with easily digestible fibre and oils. PRICE £15.95 CONTACT www.thepurefeedcompany.com

Comfy feet

Avoid sore feet with Grub’s Boot Socks. Stay-Dri technology allows feet to breathe, retaining heat and preventing the wet feeling you can get from cotton or synthetic socks. Elasticity on the cuff, ankle and instep give great grip, so boots won’t rub. PRICE £ 9.95 CONTACT www.grubswarehouse.com

Bye to moody mares
