Try it. Buy it. Love it.

This week we are looking at a variety of brands & products for horse and rider. Some you may have heard of, some you may not, and some you may recognize from previous features we’ve shared in issues and our blog.

These are brands we here at The Eloquent Equine find awesome, inspiring, innovative, curious, or all of the above. All these companies are passionate about their products, and the horses and riders that serve as their primary consumers, so we wanted to share the love by spreading the word on some of their great items.

So check them out, visit their site or social media to learn more, and perhaps you’ll find something to try, to buy, to love (or all of the above!).

All natural horse treats for the horse you love. Spoil your equine partner with these crunchy homemade dry snacks. They come in five distinct flavours, and are even safe for horses with certain dietary restrictions and other health conditions. They are made with ingredients you can pronounce, and can actually recognize, and because they are dry, they are built to last (plus no post treat sticky fingers either!).
