Optimising Equine Performance
Horse management seriously to ensure happy, healthy horses and optimal results.
As professionals in the horse industry we have trialled many brands, products and services to aid and improve horse health and performance. We take our horse management seriously and believe that the whole horse must be taken care of not just for optimal results but for a happy and healthy horse.
Stride Equine has evolved with the concept of bringing you the products that we really believe in.
Why we sell what we sell
We tested the Majyk Equipe boots for three months and their durability is outstanding. Working an average of 20 horses per day enables us to really test a product. We’ve used these boots daily in all work conditions. We have had no boot rubs, no injuries. The protection they offer is the best we have found.
We have used the Magna Wave for 2 years and cannot emphasise enough how much we value this product. Since we have purchased our own we have done a lot of trialling on ourselves and can really understand why we have seen such improvements in our horses. The improvement in our horses work, muscle tone and recovery time is amazing. We love this and highly recommend you trying it.
Tarsha was sold on Passier dressage saddles 15 years ago and nothing has changed. We get to ride in just about every brand of saddle in riding our client’s horses and nothing beats them. We have used them on just about every different style of performance horse. They fit, they give you the contact with the horse that you need and they last. In our opinion, they are the best.
