For frugal equestrians sharing products with your horse can be an easy way to save money. If you ever find yourself in a tough spot sometimes using some of your horse’s things and vice versa is super convenient. Sharing products with your horse doesn’t sound possible but if you get creative, there’s lots of things you can both share!
