Essential Equestrian Gear for Australian Riders in 2025
Australian equestrians know the struggle – finding quality gear that stands up to our harsh conditions while keeping your horse comfortable and performing at their best. Recent surveys show 78% of riders have purchased equipment that failed within 12 months, wasting both time and money. In this feature, we spotlight three game-changing products that solve real problems for Aussie horse owners, from jumping boots that actually stay put to supplements that deliver visible results.
PEI Techno Wool Brushing Boots: The Jumping Revolution
Every jumper knows the frustration of boots that slip, rub, or trap heat. The PEI Techno Wool Brushing Boots solve all three problems with their innovative wool-blend technology that regulates temperature while staying securely in place.
Why Aussie Riders Love Them:
- Breathable yet protective – perfect for our hot summers
- Anti-slip lining that actually works on sweaty horses
- Easy-clean design that handles red dirt and arena dust
Pro Tip: Use these boots for both training and competition – they’re competition-legal but tough enough for daily work.
Electrolift Paste: The Vet’s Secret for Peak Performance
Australian equine vets have been quietly using Electrolift Paste for years, and now it’s available directly to riders. This professional-grade electrolyte supplement delivers visible results within hours, making it a must-have for competition season.
When to Use It:
- Post-transport recovery (especially important in our vast country)
- Hot weather competitions where dehydration is a risk
- During illness when your horse won’t drink properly

Key Features:
- Puffer technology reduces pressure points by up to 30%

- Non-slip design that stays put during jumping sessions
