Beyond the Rider: Equipping Your Horse for Comfort and Performance in Dubai's Climate

At Milan Plus, our philosophy is that a happy horse makes for a successful ride. Just as we carefully select our own riding gear, choosing the right equipment for our equine partners is crucial for their well-being, comfort, and performance. The right tack ensures clear communication, while the right care products help them thrive in the unique environment of Dubai.

This guide explores the essential horse tack and care products we offer, helping you make informed decisions for your horse's health and happiness.

The Core of Communication: Saddlery and Tack

This is the primary interface between you and your horse.

• Saddles & Girths: The saddle is arguably the most important piece of equipment. An ill-fitting saddle can cause pain, behavioral issues, and long-term damage. We offer a range of saddles and ensure professional fitting services to guarantee your horse's comfort. The girth, which holds the saddle in place, must also be chosen with care.

• Bridles & Accessories and Bits: The bridle allows you to guide your horse. We stock a variety of bridles, from simple snaffles to specialized designs. The bit is a critical component of this system, and our experts can help you select the mildest, most effective bit for your horse's level of training and comfort.

• Saddle Pads: A high-quality saddle pad provides cushioning, absorbs sweat, and protects the saddle. We have a wide selection to suit every need and discipline.

Health, Protection, and Well-being

Caring for your horse goes far beyond the time spent in the saddle.

• Rugs: Even in Dubai's warm climate, lightweight summer sheets and fly rugs are essential to protect your horse from biting insects and the intense sun. Cooler rugs are also vital for helping horses dry off and regulate their temperature after a workout.

• Leg & Foot Protection: From supportive brushing boots for everyday work to specialized tendon boots for jumping, protecting your horse's legs is a key part of injury prevention. We also stock products for hoof care to maintain strong, healthy feet.

• Fly Protection: The desert environment comes with flies. We offer a range of effective fly sprays, masks, and sheets to keep your horse comfortable and stress-free during training and turnout.

• Care Products: A comprehensive grooming routine is essential for health and bonding. Our pro shop is stocked with top-tier shampoos, coat conditioners, hoof oils, and grooming kits to keep your horse looking and feeling its best.

Training Essentials: Halters, Lead Ropes, and Lunging Equipment

From the ground up, we have you covered.

• Halters & Lead Ropes: A well-fitting halter and a strong lead rope are fundamental for safely handling your horse on the ground.

• Lunging: Lunging is a valuable training tool for warming up, cooling down, and exercising your horse without a rider. We provide all the necessary lunging equipment, including cavessons, lines, and lunging whips.
