Top Tips

Get ready for the equestrian event of the summer! From August 6th to 10th, 2025, the RDS Dublin Horse Show returns to Ballsbridge, Dublin, celebrating an incredible 150 years of showcasing the very best in Irish and international equestrian sport.

Horses have a rich, nuanced way of communicating that goes beyond vocal sounds. Their body language tells us everything we need to know about how they’re feeling - through their ears, tail, posture, and facial expressions. At Horseware, we understand how important the bond between horse and rider is. Whether you are bringing your new horse home or just want to understand your horse better, this guide to help you connect and establish a stronger bond between you and your equine friend.

Sweet itch is a frustrating and uncomfortable condition that affects many horses, particularly in warmer months. It is caused by an allergic reaction to bites from midges and other insects, leading to intense itching, hair loss, and skin irritation. If left unmanaged, it can significantly impact a horse's well-being and quality of life.

Your horse is more than just a pet; it's a cherished member of the family, a loyal friend, and a source of countless joyful moments.

Flies aren't just annoying for horses. From the buzzing around their heads to painful bites on sensitive skin, these nasty pests can affect comfort and well-being.

Horses are valuable companions in our lives, and we're very lucky to have them. But it's no fun to see your equine friends being bothered by flies. It’s a common challenge that can even hurt their health.
