Tack

Tack is essential equipment for safe, effective and comfortable horse riding. At JSM Equestrian Supplies, our Tack collection in the UK includes bridles, bits, horse boots, headcollars, fly protection and specialist care equipment designed to support both horse welfare and rider performance. Whether you are upgrading everyday riding essentials or refining your competition setup, choosing quality horse tack is vital. Properly fitted bridles and bits improve communication, protective horse boots support leg safety, and well-made headcollars and fly covers ensure comfort both in and out of the stable.

Horse tack forms the foundation of effective communication, protection and management. From ridden equipment such as bridles and bits to everyday stable essentials like headcollars and fly protection, well-chosen tack ensures comfort, safety and performance.

For UK riders, tack must withstand regular use, changing weather conditions and varied riding disciplines.

Bridles & Reins

Bridles are one of the most important pieces of ridden equipment. A correctly fitted bridle distributes pressure comfortably and allows clear communication through the bit and reins.

When selecting a bridle, consider:

  • Correct sizing for your horse

  • Quality leather or durable synthetic materials

  • Secure stitching and hardware

  • Comfort-focused design

Reins should provide reliable grip and consistent contact, whether schooling at home or competing.

Bits & Communication

Bits play a key role in rider-horse communication. Selecting the appropriate bit depends on the horse’s training level, sensitivity and discipline requirements.

Proper fit and careful adjustment are essential to ensure comfort and clarity. Regular inspection of bit condition is also important for maintaining safety.

Horse Boots for Protection

Horse boots provide essential leg protection during schooling, turnout and competition. Brushing boots, tendon boots and overreach boots help prevent knocks and interference injuries.

Protective boots should:

  • Fit securely without rubbing

  • Allow natural movement

  • Be durable enough for regular use

  • Offer breathable materials where possible

Correctly fitted horse boots enhance safety and confidence during work.

Headcollars & Everyday Handling

Headcollars are fundamental for daily handling, turnout and transport. A well-fitted headcollar ensures control while maintaining comfort.

Strong stitching, secure buckles and adjustable fittings improve longevity and reliability for everyday use.

Fly Protection & Seasonal Essentials

British summers can bring flies and biting insects that cause irritation and distraction. Fly rugs, fly masks and fly covers help protect horses from insects while maintaining breathability.

Lightweight materials and secure fastenings ensure comfort during turnout.

Seasonal tack adjustments are often necessary to support horse wellbeing throughout the year.

LED Therapy Boots & Specialist Equipment

Modern equestrian equipment increasingly includes therapeutic options such as LED therapy boots. Designed to support circulation and recovery, these specialist products are often used alongside traditional tack to promote horse comfort.

When choosing therapy equipment, quality construction and manufacturer guidance are essential.
