What is Hy Equestrian saddlery good for?
This range is built around dependable, well-priced tack rather than one specialist discipline. The bridles come in pony, cob, full and extra-full sizes so you can fit most horses, and several — like the Padded Cavesson and Padded Flash bridles from £30.79 — arrive complete with rubber grip reins, which saves buying reins separately. The girths focus on comfort at the elbow and behind the girth groove: the waffle and neoprene designs help air move and reduce rubbing during longer sessions.
Which girth should I choose?
Pick by how long and how hard your horse works. For general schooling, the HyCOMFORT Neoprene Dressage Girth or HyCOMFORT Cushion Girth from £23.42 are easy to wipe clean and kind to the skin. For longer or more demanding work where you want a shaped, breathable design, step up to the HyCOMFORT Humane Waffle Girth from £27.25 or the HyCOMFORT Leather Atherstone Padded Girth from £30.21. If you jump and want stud protection, the Hy Equestrian Waffle Stud Girth from £25.81 is worth a look.
Which reins are best for grip?
If wet or sweaty reins slip through your hands, choose a rubber or part-rubber design: the Hy Rubber Grip Reins from £14.22 or Hy Half Rubber Show Reins from £13.53 give you extra hold. For a classic look, the Hy Plain Leather Reins from £12.15 or Hy Plaited Reins from £19.76 are hard to beat for the money.
Do I need a martingale?
A martingale can help discourage a horse from throwing its head above the point of control, but it is a training aid, not a fix — fit and schooling come first. The Hy Running Martingale from £14.92 suits everyday flatwork, while the Hy Bib Martingale from £27.33 adds a central bib that stops a horse getting a leg or the reins caught. Always have fit checked before use.
How do I get the sizing right?
Bridles follow pony, cob, full and extra-full sizing; girths are measured in inches from buckle to buckle; and stirrup leathers come in child and adult lengths. If you are between sizes or unsure, measure an item that already fits your horse and match to that. Not sure which to pick? Get in touch and our team will help you choose.
