Black Friday can be a bit of a minefield - loads of deals, but not all of them genuinely useful when you’re knee-deep in mud trying to tack up a fidgety horse in the dark. So here are five equestrian bargains that riders will actually appreciate, from staying warm on 6am feeds to improving your horse’s way of going, and even keeping you safe on solo hacks.
1. Royal Equestrian: Samshield Shield’Rup Safety Stirrups (Brushed Rose) - Save £165.77!
RRP: £349
Black Friday deal price: £183.23 (Using code: HMBLACK25)
If you’ve ever had a fall where your foot nearly didn’t come out of the stirrup - or if you’ve seen it happen to someone else - you’ll understand why these stirrups get so much attention.
The lateral arm opens 180° during a fall, massively reducing the risk of getting dragged, but unlike some, they don’t accidentally open whilst riding, even when your foot is really close to the outside of the stirrup. But what we potentially love even more than this, is the balance and feel: the grip is excellent, the tread angle helps keep your leg stable, and they’re noticeably comfortable on long rides.
And yes… they look beautiful in brushed rose.
Who will love these:
- Jumpers who want top-tier safety without compromising performance
- Dressage riders who want clearer leg stability
- Hackers who ride alone and want extra security
- Anyone with a spooky horse or a sticky moment waiting to happen
Almost half price on premium Samshield stirrups? That almost never happens.

2. The Equine Shed: HyCONIC 200g Combo Turnout Rug - Save 20%
RRP: £74.99
Black Friday deal price: £59.99
A proper yard essential, this 200g HyCONIC turnout is ideal for those in-between days when it’s cold but not arctic. If you’ve got a horse who runs warm, lives out, or just needs a reliable mid-weight, this is an absolute bargain.
It’s a good fit, offers solid protection, and at £59.99 you won’t wince when they inevitably christen it with mud 30 minutes after you put it on.
Perfect for:
- Horses who “like to moisturise” in the muddiest part of the field
- Yard owners with multiple horses to rug
- Clipped horses on milder winter days
- Anyone wanting a spare rug without spending £100+

3. Arena Mirrors: Five 4mm Arena Mirrors (Delivery included) - Save £605!
RRP: £2,000
Black Friday deal price: £1,395 (Using code: BLACKFRIDAY)
Ever schooled alone and thought you were straight, until you saw a video later? Arena mirrors can make a world of difference. We genuinely feel that mirrors are one of the best investments in training we can make as riders, and there’s no better time to take the plunge than Black Friday.
While this deal is designed for those that are happy to install the mirrors themselves (and the extra savings are certainly worth it!), these mirrors from Arena Mirrors aren’t flimsy DIY mirrors; they’re professional, 4mm thick, designed for clarity, and big enough to check your position without leaning sideways mid-canter. They help you spot crookedness, slipping shoulders, lazy inside legs, and that infamous “I swear my hands were level” moment.
Where these shine most:
- Polishing your position before a dressage test
- Checking your horse’s frame in real time
- Seeing your lateral work progress day-to-day
- Schooling without needing someone to stand at the gate shouting “more outside rein!”
Saving over £600 on something that transforms your training? Huge.

If you’d prefer to purchase mirrors with installation included, Arena Mirrors have a great range of additional Black Friday deals, with savings of up to £2,005.

4. Recall Rider 4K Safety Camera - Save an exclusive 15% with Horsemart!
RRP: £159.99
Black Friday deal price: £135.99 (Using code: HORSEMART)
If you hack alone - or if your horse has opinions about traffic, pheasants, or oddly-placed wheelie bins - a safety camera is a seriously useful bit of kit.
This one films in 4K with a wide-angle lens, meaning you can capture incidents clearly if you need to report something, or just review your ride later. It’s waterproof (so mud and snow won’t kill it), impact resistant (with a built-in sensor that identifies heavy “knocks” to ensure it will automatically save your recording), and lasts up to 7 hours with the power pack - ideal for those “I’m only going for a short hack” rides that turn into mini adventures. It can easily be mounted on your riding helmet, and has a handy one-press recording button for ease of use whilst riding.
When it proves its worth:
- Passing impatient drivers
- Logging training rides
- Hacking new routes
- Keeping evidence if anything dangerous happens
- Capturing sweet moments you’d otherwise miss

5. Toggi Fieldston Waterproof Coat - Save £89.99!
RRP: £299.99
Black Friday deal price: £209.99 (You can access the deal on Friday 28th)
If you ride throughout winter, you’ll understand why this coat is such a win. Not only is it perfectly on-trend and smart enough for general use, it’s long enough to cover your thighs when you’re in the saddle, properly padded, and the waterproofing is not the “kind-of-waterproof-if-it’s-only-drizzling” type, it’s the real deal.
The removable hood is incredibly useful for those days when you’re turning out in sideways rain one minute and riding the next. The faux-fur lined pockets are a welcome treat for frosty fingers, and the internal waist adjuster lets you go from “layered like a snowman” to “fitted and tidy enough for a lesson” in seconds. The fact you can remove the faux fur collar and it’s fully machine washable also makes it incredibly practical for muddy hacks and yard work.
When you’ll thank yourself for buying it:
- Saddling up for a lesson when the wind is biting
- Doing 7am turnout in freezing fog
- Standing at the side of the school while your friend “just runs through it one more time”
We’ve been tipped off ahead of time, so you’ll be able to get the Toggi Fieldston Waterproof Coat at the deal price on Friday 28th (or Thursday night at midnight if you’re keen!) here >
