Favourite piece of equipment:
This was a hard question but I would have to say two pieces of equipment the first being for me - my Animo show jacket, because of the beautiful fit and also how it ties in with all my gear (and it's easily cleaned and doesn't lose it's shape which is a bonus!)
My favourite piece of equipment for the horses would have to be Just Ridings wick away saddle cloths! I have never had any problems with them, they have never rubbed my horses, they always keep there shape after washing! They work wonders with my main ride Antrim a Coast M2S as he is a hot headed horse he gets very wound up and sweaty in a short period of time, the saddle cloths work perfectly in taking majority of the sweat away from him and doesn't leave marks on him, which I have found has been a problem in the past with other brands of saddle cloths.
