About Equestrian Hire

Susannah

The Idea

Equestrian Hire exists to help riders, horse owners and pet owners make informed, confident decisions about the products they use — without pressure, guesswork or marketing hype.

Every product I offer is chosen because it supports comfort, performance or recovery in a practical, measurable way. Whether that’s calming and focus with Fenwick products, targeted leg support with Hidez Compression and Ice Vibe Boots, or versatile therapy with Photizo LED Red Light, my focus is always on products that genuinely add value for both animals and humans.

How Equestrian Hire Began

I founded Equestrian Hire in 2012 after recognising how difficult it was for riders to know whether a product would genuinely benefit their horse before committing to purchase. I was the first company to offer a two-week home trial on the Micklem Bridle, allowing riders to return it if it didn’t suit their horse.

That hire-before-you-buy approach remains at the heart of Equestrian Hire today. It has allowed thousands of owners to test products properly, at home, in real-world conditions — and has created a huge amount of honest feedback and practical experience along the way.

Expanding the Range — Real-World Results

In January 2021, I expanded the range to include Fenwick Liquid Titanium® products, including the Fenwick Calming Mask. These have quickly become top sellers, and I am now the No. 1 Fenwick reseller in the UK.

More recently, Photizo LED Red Light therapy devices have become another core part of the business. With over 10 years’ experience using Photizo devices on my own animals and myself, and thousands of units hired and sold, I have developed in-depth, practical knowledge of how red light therapy works in real-world use — not just in theory.

This experience allows me to advise on appropriate use, expectations and outcomes based on what actually works, rather than generic instructions or marketing claims.

How the Hire Works

The hire process is deliberately simple and risk-free:

  • You pay for the product as a refundable deposit

  • Try it at home for two weeks

  • On day 15, you can either:

    • return it and receive a refund minus the hire fee and original delivery charge (subject to hire terms), or

    • keep it, in which case the hire is effectively free

Products sent for hire are new. A small number of ex-hire items are occasionally available and are listed clearly on the relevant product pages.

Sharing Experience Beyond One-to-One Advice

After years of answering the same questions about LED red light therapy — particularly for dogs — I’ve also written a short, practical guide explaining how red light therapy works, what actually matters, and how Photizo devices are used correctly in real life.

The guide is based entirely on my experience working with thousands of owners and is available on Amazon for anyone who prefers the information written down in one place.
