The Red Mills retail store is one of the only speciality retailers in Ireland which stocks Busse label products. Busse products are characterised by their great design but also ensure the well-being, security and performance of horse and rider, making them the perfect Christmas gift for the equine enthusiast in your life.

But the ultimate part of any horse owners kit is their grooming arsenal and what can match up to top international groom Alan Davies Signature Brush Set by Eqclusive?
