Catago Equestrian

Why use a horse belly band? Using a spur guard belly band will protect your equine from rubs or marks from the rider’s spurs. When horses are freshly clipped, are sensitive, have thin skin or coats, they will be far more prone to being rubbed or marked by the rider’s legs or spurs. The Catago Body Shield is an easy-to-use and comfy belly band which is made from a lightweight and stretchy fabric. Wondering how to fit a belly band to your horse? Simply attach around your horse’s belly with the handy Velcro straps.

Saddle pads with elastic bands are a great way to help your horse  improve his core strength and get him working from behind. Knowing how to get a horse to work over its back is a big question for riders. Nothing beats correct training and regular, varied exercise, but using a training tool such as the Catago saddle pad with elastic bands is a kind and effective way to improve your horse’s balance and help him work through his back. The elastic bands are very easy to adjust, so you can make sure they are an optimum fit for your equine. Getting your horse to work properly in this way will help him stay supple and feeling his best.

Many showjumpers now compete their horses in face masks, and the Catago Fir Tech Mask is a popular choice for reducing tension and helping your horse to focus. How does this mask work? Made from a polyester and ceramic clay fabric, the ceramic clay reflects your horse’s body heat and turns this into infra-red rays. Infra-red technology has long been associated with therapeutic properties, and the Fir Tech Mask creates a natural calming effect and reduces tension. That’s why the Catago Mask is a good choice for hot or stressy horses, and particularly show jumpers who may get tense in the ring and need to focus on the job.
