As summer turns to autumn it seems to be bringing with it gloomy, misty, damp and windy mornings making riding out on the roads or leading your horse on the country lanes a greater challenge.  The driver visibility with this autumnal weather can be greatly reduced – that’s where having your horse or pony wearing a polite summer sheet from Equisafety can make all the difference.  Research has shown that when a horse or rider is wearing  hi-visibility clothing, it allows the driver an extra three seconds to see them and take action.  This may not seem long but if a car is travelling at 50 miles per hour then there is an extra 220 feet or 67 metres to slow down or stop before reaching you – that’s almost the length of a football pitch!  The Equisafety polite summer sheet is the ideal rug for most horses to wear at this time of the year as it is made of a lightweight, tough, wickable fabric which will not overheat the horse.  It is generously cut to fit the largest of horses bottoms along with being 360 degree reflective and fluorescent, the blue and sliver checked stripes also make it stand out that little bit more than other rugs.  The Equisafety polite summer sheet can be worn with or without a saddle making it even more versatile as it has a fully adjustable chest protector which is detachable so can be clipped on to the saddle.  At Hucklesbys we stock a large range of the Equisafety Polite and Equestrian Range.  For the month of September we are offering an extra discount off the Equisafety polite summer sheet to trade customers only.  If you are an existing customer and would like to use our on-line ordering system but haven’t already registered then please do so to also qualify for a discount off orders placed in September through the online site.   If you already have, or are starting up an equestrian retail business then please use the ‘contact’ section of the website to register for a catalogue.
