Want to get prepped? Here’s your go-to checklist of essentials to have sorted before the season kicks off…

Everyday Yard Essentials

Feed Scoop: Simple, but essential. Makes feeding quick, easy and consistent.

Shavings Fork: A must for keeping stables clean and efficient.

Corn Broom: Because a tidy yard really does make a difference.

Bucket: You can never have too many.

Wheelbarrow: Available for in-store pick or delivery around the West Sussex/Berkshire area.

Grooming Kit Staples

Dandy Brush: Your go-to for removing dirt and keeping coats looking sharp.

Clipper Machine: Especially important as the season starts - keep horses’ manes and tails trim and tidy. 

Tack Care

One Step: Quick and effective for cleaning leather after use.

Glycerine soap: Keeps your tack soft, supple, and long-lasting.

Horse Care

Hoof Ointment: Healthy hooves = happy horses.

Dermaline Insect Shampoo: A lifesaver during warmer months to help prevent irritation and keep coats in top condition.

Red Cell: keep energy levels up with its iron-rich formula.

Paddock Power Horse Lick: For the full spectrum of vitamins, minerals and protein.

For the Players

Polo Stick: The most important piece of kit you’ll own. Having one that suits your style makes all the difference when it comes to control and consistency. Want a custom stick? Please note the lead time is 4-5 days.

Helmet: Non-negotiable. Safety first, always. A well-fitted helmet is key. Please note the lead time for custom helmets is 6-8 weeks.

MacWet Gloves: Trusted for a reason - offering grip, comfort, and performance in all weather conditions.

A little prep now saves a lot of hassle later - and means you can focus on what really matters… getting out there and playing your best polo!
