Dark winter mornings and evenings at the yard just got a whole lot brighter!

💡🔦These fantastic attachable lights are ultra-bright, super lightweight, and completely versatile. They attach securely to almost anything: coats, sweaters, jods, beanie or even to your horse’s fly hood for those rides when the light is failing.

They are available right now in-store at Chobham Rider. In fact, we’ve just sent one down to Bicton with Molly so she doesn’t have to plait, prep, and stud up in the pitch black! 🐴✨

(And a little secret? They are also incredibly handy for early morning dog walks, dark running routes, or navigating the night walk back home from the pub! 🐕🏃‍♂️🍻)

📍 Pop into the shop to grab yours before the winter darkness fully sets in!

Are your waterproofs being put to the test this week? 🌧️☔️

With the autumn rain settling in, keeping dry at the yard is the number one priority. But everyone has a different strategy! Do you reach for a long riding coat when it’s pouring, or do you prefer a short jacket and waterproof trousers combo?

There are benefits to both:
🔹 The Short Coat & Trousers Combo: Super practical if you are doing heavy yard work, bending, lifting, and mucking out. You get total freedom of movement and your legs stay 100% dry on the ground. 🧹
🔹 The Long Riding Coat: The ultimate quick fix! They are so fast to throw on and off over your normal clothes. Plus, our long riding coats are incredibly adaptable—with rear or side zips that open up to cover you and your saddle while riding. 🐴
No matter which way you like to battle the weather, we have lots of choice for both options in store. We stock high-performance waterproofs designed to keep you warm and dry all season long!

👇 What is your go-to style? Are you Team Long Coat or Team Trousers? Let us know in the comments below! 👇

Have you done a winter rug audit yet? 🥶🐴

With the weather changing every five minutes, versatile rugs are an absolute lifesaver. That’s why I always prefer rugs with detachable necks—they give you so many more options! Neck on when it’s chilly and wet, neck off when the sun makes a surprise appearance. 🌤️

To give you an idea, here is Herbie’s personal field & stable wardrobe breakdown:

🌳 In the Field:
* Showerproof fly rug (for warm, showery days)
* 50g turnout + detachable neck (for wet or slightly chillier days)
* 100g turnout + detachable neck
* 2x 200g turnouts (Pro tip: Always have two medium/heavyweights so you have one to wear while the other is drying or away for cleaning!)

🏠 In the Stable:
* Cotton stable sheet
* 2x 100g stable rugs (one on, one in the wash)
* 2x 200g stable rugs + detachable neck

🚙 Travel & Shows:
* A dedicated stable sheet, a lightweight wicking cooler, and a thicker cooler to ensure he cools down safely post-exercise without catching a chill.
Invest once! We stock high-quality, durable rugs built to last. Plus, we are incredibly excited to now stock Horseware Ireland, giving you access to the entire Rambo, Rhino, and Amigo ranges! 🇮🇪✨

💸 Multi-Buy Rug Bundle Deal:
We know setting up your horse for winter is an investment, so we want to help:

🌟 Introducing our new Brand Ambassador! 🌟
We are absolutely delighted to announce that we are teaming up with local Surrey event rider, Molly Barnard! 🐎✨

Molly has been a loyal customer at Chobham Rider for a long time, and we are incredibly proud to be supporting her and her horse, Coombeland Cevin (Oscar), on their exciting journey to the Badminton Grassroots Championships 2027.

Molly looks after 7-year-old Oscar alongside her mum, and she will be taking us behind the scenes to share her preparation, training milestones, and top tips along the way.

Here is a little bit from Molly:
💬 “My name’s Molly Barnard and I am a 22-year-old event rider from Surrey. I compete my 17h, 7-year-old Oscar at BE100 and for our Pony Club. Our biggest achievement so far is qualifying for the Badminton Grassroots Championships 2027 in the BE100, which is a dream come true!
We have always loved shopping at Chobham Rider—they have been our absolute go-to shop to get everything we need to be event-ready. The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable, which makes the shopping experience so easy. Most recently, I bought a new bridle and two new hats from the store, which are amazing. I am so excited to be working with them on our road to Badminton.”

We are so thrilled to welcome Molly and Oscar to the Chobham Rider family, and we hope you enjoy following their journey as much as we will!

🐴 Herbie on the way to the field in his new headcollar!

If you have a horse like Herbie, you know the story. He occasionally forgets his manners when he’s turned out, which means he sometimes has to keep his headcollar on in the field. 🙃

We’ve always used leather because it breaks in an emergency. But after the leather stretched and started feeling a bit heavy for all-night wear, we knew it was time for an upgrade.

Enter the Equilibrium Stellar Headcollar from Chobham Rider! 😊 Why we love it:

🐴 Field Safe: It has a built-in safety mechanism that releases with downward pressure on the poll. If he gets caught on a fence or a tree, it releases safely.
🐴 Everyday Versatility: It’s fully suitable for everyday leading, travelling, and tying up. It only releases under genuine pressure, so you don’t have to worry about it releasing during normal use.
🐴 Lightweight: No heavy leather weighing him down overnight.
🐴 Weather-Proof: Made from a durable, synthetic material that is incredibly easy to care for.

Want peace of mind for your horse? See the Stellar headcollar in-store or check them out on our website! 💻✨
