Western riding boots
Western boots are an integral part of western riding. It's not just about the traditional look, but also about the safety, functionality and comfort of the rider. Their shape and construction are adapted to western saddles, stirrups and long hours in the saddle, whether for recreational riding, working with livestock or competing.

Electrolytes for horses
Electrolytes are essential minerals that play a key role in hydration, muscle function, nerve impulses, and body temperature regulation in horses. Horses lose electrolytes primarily through sweating, so replenishing them is especially important for sports, working, and, in the summer months, recreational horses.

Using a horse bridle
The bridle is one of the most important pieces of horse equipment. It is used to control the horse while riding or working from the ground and allows communication between the rider and the horse through the reins and bit. A properly selected and properly used bridle significantly affects the comfort, health and cooperation of the horse.

Western saddles for horses
Western saddles are among the most robust and comfortable saddles used in equestrianism. They were developed for long hours in the saddle when working with cattle, which is reflected in their design - they distribute the rider's weight over a large area of the horse and provide excellent stability. Today they are used not only for work, but also for recreational riding, western sports and tourism.

Using Western stirrups
Western stirrups are an important part of a western saddle. They provide the rider with stable foot support and comfort during longer rides. They are used mainly in western riding, working with livestock, but also in recreational riding.
