Horse Show Dog Essentials:
Must-Haves for Your Barn Dog on the Road & at Home!
Whether your four-legged companion is a full-time barn dog or a road warrior joining you on the horse show circuit, having the right gear makes all the difference. From reliable collars to durable toys and safe tie-out options, Herm Sprenger USA has everything you need to keep your dog safe, happy, and comfortable—whether you're at home or ringside.
Here’s a roundup of our top recommended barn dog essentials for both everyday farm life and the bustling atmosphere of a horse show:
1) An Adjustable Biothane Collar & Leash
A barn dog is no stranger to getting a little dirty, making our top-quality Biothane an awesome option to keep the dirt at the barn. Biothane does not hold water and is non-porous, keeping dirt & sand from sticking to it too. Since it doesn't hold water, that makes the stink can stay at the muck pile too! Pair your collar with our adjustable leash for easy walking around show grounds or perhaps hunting for a lost shoe out in the paddock.
2) A Reflective Y-Harness & Rubberized Nylon Tracking Leash
Our highly adjustable reflective Y-harness gives your dog a little more freedom, as well as providing extra visibility during those evening nigh checks. Pair it with a nylon tracking leash to allow for safe exploration for your dog. Does your dog hang out at the barns between your classes? These products go great with...
3) A Spiral Tie-Out Stake or Run-Block Tie Out
A safe & easy way to keep your dog in your assigned barn or out of reach of the barn cat. Both tie-outs provide a quick way to secure your dog, and both are easy to move around and adjust as needed. Pair it with a harness/tracking leash for a comfortable, secure way of having a safe zone for your four-legged friend.
4) Fight boredom with a Mango Toy, Pineapple Toy, or Fire Hose Bite Tug!
We know that there can be a lot of downtime between classes, or perhaps your dog needs a distraction while you teach a lesson. Our Pineapple & Mango dog toys are tough, durable toys that are popular with dogs of all shapes and sizes! Do you have a dog especially tough on toys? Our Fire House Bite Tug is ready for some serious play time!
