Event Grease

Event Grease

Event grease is an essential part of horse and rider safety during the cross-country phase of eventing, hunter trials, team chasing, drag hunting, or point-to-point. This specialist grease provides a long-lasting, water-repellent barrier that lubricates your horse’s skin, helping them slide over fixed jumps and reducing the risk of injury from impact.

Why Use Event Grease for Horses?

Applied to the legs from hoof to stifle or elbow (avoiding the belly and tack areas), eventing grease creates a slippery layer that can minimise abrasions and bruising in the event of contact with solid obstacles. It’s a staple for any serious event rider’s kit and is easy to wash off after competition.
