Whether you’re competing in eventing, casual jumping, or maintaining your horse’s health, having the right equipment makes all the difference. In this guide, we’ll explore three standout products that solve common pain points for Aussie riders – from protective boots to performance-enhancing supplements.

2025 Australian Equestrian Trends

This year we’re seeing three clear trends in the Australian market:

  1. Performance meets practicality – Riders want gear that works as hard as they do, without complicated maintenance
  2. Discontinued doesn’t mean outdated – Many older models still outperform newer, more expensive alternatives
  3. Preventative health is key – More riders are investing in supplements before problems arise

Remember: The right gear should solve problems, not create them. Whether you’re shopping for boots, saddlecloths or supplements, always consider how it will improve your (and your horse’s) daily routine.
