With recent data confirming that the United Kingdom is home to approximately 847,000 horses across 374,000 horse-owning households, Just Equine, a leading supplier of equestrian products, is highlighting five essential items that every horse owner should consider to maintain optimal equine health and wellbeing.
Meeting the Needs of Britain's Substantial Equine Population
"The size of Britain's horse population—nearly 850,000 animals—emphasizes the significant responsibility of care that falls to owners," says the team at Just Equine, which stocks over 40,000 items across its 6,000 sq/ft barn warehousing facility in West Sussex. "Our decades of experience serving the equestrian community has given us unique insight into which products truly make a difference to horse health and maintenance."
Five Essential Products for Optimal Horse Care
Based on their extensive experience and expert knowledge, Just Equine recommends the following key products for the care of Britain's substantial equine population:
1. Equine America Cortaflex HA Regular Powder
Joint care is paramount for horses of all disciplines and ages. Cortaflex HA Regular Powder provides comprehensive support for joint health and mobility, helping to maintain cartilage and joint fluid. With options ranging from £26.99 for a 250g container to £266.50 for larger quantities, this supplement represents a crucial investment in long-term equine mobility and comfort.
2. Equine America Fungatrol Plus Muddy Miracle
With the UK's notoriously wet climate, mud fever and associated skin conditions affect thousands of horses annually. Equine America's Fungatrol Plus Muddy Miracle (£29.99) offers effective protection and treatment for horses exposed to challenging weather conditions, helping to prevent costly veterinary interventions and horse downtime.
3. KM Elite Ultimate Oil
Proper nutrition remains the cornerstone of equine health. KM Elite Ultimate Oil (from £15.00) provides essential fatty acids that support coat condition, digestive health, and overall vitality. This high-quality oil supplement can be particularly beneficial during competition seasons or periods of increased work.
4. Tesa Foot Tape (Tesa Hoof Tape)
Hoof care cannot be overlooked in comprehensive equine health management. Tesa Foot Tape (£38.99) offers a reliable solution for supporting hoof structure and addressing common hoof issues, making it an invaluable addition to any horse owner's care kit.
5. Equine America Super Hoof Plus Pellets
With feet being the literal foundation of equine health, nutritional support for hoof quality is essential. Equine America Super Hoof Plus Pellets (£39.50 for 3kg) provide targeted nutrition to promote strong, resilient hooves, reducing the risk of common problems that can sideline a horse.
Expertise Beyond Products
Just Equine's commitment to horse welfare extends beyond simply supplying products. "With 374,000 households responsible for nearly 850,000 horses, there's an immense need for reliable information and guidance," notes the Just Equine team. "That's why we only stock products we truly believe in and ensure our staff can provide expert advice on their application and benefits."
The company, which has built its reputation on over 20 years of excellent customer service, invites horse owners to visit their West Sussex location or explore their comprehensive online offering, where their team of equine experts can provide personalised recommendations based on individual horse needs.
