What horse supplies do you need in Florida?
Start with fly control, a grooming kit with a good hoof pick, a medicated shampoo for wet season skin, a thrush product, electrolytes for summer and a first aid kit. Add a slow feed hay net and a well-fitted halter, and you have the basics covered.

Barn basics: hay nets and halters
A slow feed hay net like the Weaver Equine Slow Feed Hay Net (36 in) (paid link) keeps hay off the ground and slows fast eaters. For daily handling, we use the Weaver Leather Original Non-Adjustable Nylon Halter (paid link), a standard nylon halter. For horses left in a halter or tied, many owners prefer a breakaway halter; our pick is the Leaders 3/4 inch Leather Halter with Engraved Name Plate (paid link), a leather halter with breakaway safety and an engraved name plate.
How we pick products
We pick products by the job they do in a Florida barn and link to the current Amazon listing. We do not list prices because they change, and we do not publish ratings or test results we have not measured ourselves. Always read the label and listing before you buy, and ask your vet or farrier about anything health related.
