The essentials. 200€
With any saddle or saddle bag order we can add and attach where needed a lightweight axe / hammer for chopping wood and putting in a tether. We also add an IFAK med kit which contains a life and limb saving CAT torniquet, Israeli dressing and other essential items. I also include a SAM splint that can be used to splint limbs or make a neck brace. We will also sew on a pouch containing a multi tool for repairs on the road. A “Speedy Stitcher” and repair kit is also included containing all the items we needed while on the road.

Tethers. 8m 150€ / 12m 175€
Our tethers are made with heat treated 316 stainless steel and are very light as well as durable. They come in either 8- or 12-meter lengths and are made of 25mm x 2.5mm Biothane. Biothane is both very durable, and waterproof, meaning it doesn’t smell when the horses urinate on it, and is very friendly on a horse if they become tangled. The tethers have 2 swivels, as well as two light weight carabiner clips and are made of the highest quality materials we can source.
This is how Luisa trained Banditi to the tether. This gives the horses a different kind of freedom on long rides. Luisa is not a “professional” trainer but a long rider, and what she shares here works for her and Pete on the road.

REAL wild skins. from 50€
We are uniquely placed on the border of the Czech Republic, as well as having friends from here all the way to Mongolia who can supply us with ETHICALLY sourced wild skins and furs for use as with saddle blankets or coverings. We get absolutely superb sheep skins either short, and suitable for under a saddle, or very thick and luxurious for saddle covers. They are heavy, smell like a sheep and although professionally tanned, these are not the bleached lifeless rags you will find in tourist shops. These vary from 50 - 100€ depending on size and colour. We can also supply red deer skins as saddle blankets p.o.a.

Light weight shelter. 250€
Made of ultra-light weight silicone coated, diamond ripstop Cordura, the lightweight shelter is a very simple item that just has nothing about it that can fail if used correctly. Its dimensions are 3 x 3.5meters and it has 8 strong polyester paracord attachments and comes with 12 pegs. It comes with 2 light weight 11mm aluminium poles and is as simple a shelter as you will find. There are no zips that can fail, it allows good airflow in summer and you wouldn’t believe just how waterproof it is. Its biggest benefit is you can see the horses, and get to them very quickly if needed.

Double swag “bivi bag”. 450€
Made of coated 1000den Cordura double stitched with Dynema thread for the underside, the swag is very durable when laid on rough ground, with its top side made of waterproof but highly breathable 3-layer laminate ripstop material. Its dimensions are 140cm x200cm and comes ready to put up under a light weight shelter to function like a tent, or can be rolled straight on the ground so you can sleep under the stars. It also has a fine fly mesh to protect you from insects at both ends and is what we consider the best option for fog and humid conditions as the air flow reduces condensation considerably, while providing excellent weather protection, winter warmth, and cool, comfortable nights in summer.
