My Super-Affordable Riders Survival Kit

 Hi all! 

If you love horses, chances are you’ve already noticed how EXPENSIVE everything is!! So I have done lots of searching and have found some of my favorite, affordable, nice products I use daily!

First off, my grooming tote! You can find it at This Link, but it says that it is unavailable currently so you can also take a look at This One, which is similar but a little more expensive and doesn’t come with all of the same exact things :) still great for a cheap kit though!

It comes with a curry comb, a stiff brush, a soft brush, two combs, a hoof pick (with a brush!), sweat scraper, and sponge!! It’s super helpful to have a cheaper kit like this available!

Next, my face brush! The kit above doesn’t come with one, and I think these are super helpful for brushing boots out, the face, and putting fly spray on. It’s a super nice brush and bright so you won’t lose track of it 😹 you can find it Here

Then, my jelly brush/curry comb, because I don’t like the normal ones! This brush is AMAZING, and I’m not just saying that. It’s a total improvement over the normal curry. I even showed it too some of my friends and they went and bought them for their horses! You can find a cheap one Here

Then I’ve got my saddle pad, which isn’t super useful for any western riders out there, but I 100% recommend for all English riders! 

In general I just recommend Dover, because they are really affordable and have nice products. They can take a long time to ship the product though, so be aware of that 😂.

This saddle pad is super nice because it is big enough for big saddles and long legs. I use it on 16+ hh horses and it is perfect. I have really long legs and a big saddle, too, and it still works amazingly! 

I also love the color because I make the mistake of riding chestnuts, and it looks amazing on them!

Next up I’ve got my leather cleaner and conditioner, because if you ride horses you’ve definitely noticed that EVERYTHING seems to be made of super-sensitive leather! I use two products to clean my leather.

First, I use horseman’s one step, which you can find here. It is super good for a quick easy clean and condition, and I use it regularly! It’s also a cream, and lasts a really long time!

Then, if I am going for a super nice shine and deep conditioning, I use Lexol leather conditioner, which is here. This is a really good cheap choice and it has a good size too. I use a super small amount and it covers my entire tall boot really well.

Not a horse product, Per se, but something I use CONSTANTLY at the barn. SUNSCREEN!!! I hate the cream sunscreen, and lots of times the spray doesn’t work as well. This stuff works though! I put it on right before my ride and it keeps me good for my hour and a half ride. I also have sensitive skin and this stuff works. You can find it here: Alba Botánica Hawaiian Sunscreen

That’s all for today, but be sure to check back every once and a while, as I may add updates!

Love y’all!
