Horsemen Gear
Outfit for Horses and Horsemen is a category that selects special products from our wide offer. Horses always played an important role in the human history. They were hunted for meat in the prehistory (we are still eating horse meat). The horse was domesticated later; it was used to pull a plough or heavy carriages. It can be even described as a means of transport. Horses were used (and still are) in special transport and agriculture. They were important also in the military. Horses take part in leisure activities of people like hunting, races and re-enactment (jousting tournaments).
