  1. Nettex Tack Cleaning Wipes..

    We were very kindly provided with the Tack Cleaning Wipes before our last show for which I was left wondering why I had never used them before!

    Initially I thought that a wipe would never compare to a “proper” clean, and me being “Mrs Clean tack of Clean Ville”, always cleaning my tack after every use, all I can say is I am now eating my thoughts!

    The wipes come in a very handy tub, just like baby wipes, simply pull out what you need, in my case one wipe was sufficient for Rocky’s saddle, tack_cleaning_wipes_50_0being tough enough to scrub if necessary to get stubborn marks off without the wipe tearing apart.

    As we were showing, the wipes were invaluable for that last minute wipe before entering the ring, as they meant not having to find the sponge and soap as previously done, and leave the tack with a natural shine. They don’t leave a greasy residue on either your hands or the tack, an added bonus when at shows!  

    The wipes were also used to wipe over my boots too as they can be used on all types of leather, making them extra useful!

    Added neatsfoot oil also means that the leather receives a nourishing treatment too, something a lot of other wipes don’t add, meaning that you are not stripping your leather of its suppleness. Plus an added antibacterial agent to help reduce the chance of germs being spread, if for any reason the tack is shared.  Two very useful additions to an already great product!

    These wipes have become a firm member of my tack cleaning cabinet and my showing box, and cannot recommend them highly enough.

     

     

  2. Nettex Tastylyx..

    Rocky has been trialling these brand new Tastylyx from his favourite supporters Nettex, here is what we thought...

    The first thing to notice about these new licks are that the lick comes in a very easy to open pack, unlike some other types of lick which you need scissors and degree in physics to open!! The packaging on the tastylyx have been really thought about as all you do is take the top off, turn upside down, tap it and voila there is the lick! Genius!

    On opening the aroma of the Mint lick was intense, so much so it made our mouths water, never mind Rocky’s! tastylyx_mint_front

    They are also available in Carrot and Apple flavour too! Yum!

    The second bonus is that it fits into the conventional holders of other types of lick too, so you don’t have to purchase a specially made one.

    Tastylyx are ideal to help prevent boredom or simply used as a reward for being good!

    They are also made from natural ingredients too, another bonus!

    Overall Rocky is one very happy horse with his new Tastylyx and can’t wait to try the other flavours! 

     

    Available in these great flavours too....
