Boring old gumboots get a new<br />
lease of life with this range of<br />
snazzy wellies, new in at<br />
Froghill Tack.<br />
<strong>The</strong> fun wellies come in a<br />
range of great designs suitable<br />
for both adults and kids. <strong>The</strong>re<br />
are even co-ordinating umbrellas and rain<br />
macs - and if you want to go the whole hog,<br />
then you can even buy the matching Garden<br />
Kloggies.<br />
<strong>The</strong> funky rain gear<br />
comes in over 10<br />
designs, ranging from girly Rose and Pansy,<br />
to animal-friendly Horse, Digger and Paws.<br />
So if you want to look cool whilst keeping<br />
dry in the great outdoors, make your way<br />
down to Froghill at Sandford, and pick your<br />
style.<br />
Wellies that<br />
make a real<br />
splash!<br />
Let there be<br />
light<br />
Estimates suggest there are a<br />
staggering 10,600 accidents<br />
involving horses on the road<br />
each year – that’s almost 30<br />
per day! What’s more, over<br />
100 horses are killed on UK<br />
roads every year.<br />
Shocking statistics like these<br />
show why more and more riders<br />
are using reflective clothing,<br />
both for themselves and their<br />
horses.<br />
Wearing reflective clothing is a<br />
step in the right direction, but<br />
since it only works when lit by<br />
approaching headlights or some<br />
other light source, it’s not<br />
perfect - and in some cases, can<br />
be too little, too late.<br />
That’s why PolyBrite have<br />
devised a neat solution to the<br />
growing problem. <strong>The</strong> company<br />
has incorporated a patented<br />
advanced Polymer/LED lighting<br />
technology into its garments,<br />
which means that riders do not<br />
have to rely on outside light<br />
sources. <strong>The</strong> innovative and<br />
durable lighting system operates<br />
on two ordinary AA batteries or<br />
a 2032 Lithium battery.<br />
<strong>The</strong> light – which can be set on<br />
constant or flashing - is visible<br />
from up to 3000 metres at<br />
night, in low light, and no-light<br />
situations, and the two AA<br />
batteries will last up to 450hrs<br />
in flashing mode. <strong>The</strong> full range<br />
includes horse bibs, exercise<br />
sheets, vests and arm and leg<br />
bands, and all can be washed as<br />
normal without having to<br />
remove the lighting strips.<br />
