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.

When it comes to building a deeper connection with your horse, you don’t always need a saddle or a horse ring. In fact, some of the most powerful horse training exercises begin from the ground. Whether you're looking to improve your horse’s focus, fitness, or responsiveness—or you’re just not ready to ride—groundwork for horses is a rewarding, confidence-boosting practice that benefits equines and humans alike.

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.

You might wonder if beautiful snow days go well with your new equine friend. It's completely understandable to worry as the cold starts to creep in. After all, no one wants their horses in winter to feel uncomfortable or, worse, get injured.

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.
