Looking for quality equestrian products, custom leatherwork and premium horse care essentials at Equifest 2026? Make sure you visit Site 058, where VikingsRest Custom Leatherwork will be hosting Iconoclast Support Boots and The Boss Mane & Tail Elixir.
With more than 30 years working in the saddlery manufacturing trade, VikingsRest owner Cookie has built an extensive knowledge of the equine industry, from racing and breeding through to competition and recreational riding.
Cookie formally served a jockey’s apprenticeship, learning the skills involved in starting young horses and progressing them through to race day. This experience, combined with an understanding of the specific requirements of equipment used in Thoroughbred breeding, racing and veterinary hospital care, has provided a strong foundation for the VikingsRest approach to quality and functionality.
Over the years, Cookie has also competed in polocrosse, barrel racing and team roping, before moving into western performance riding and reining in more recent years. Through these experiences, they have seen first-hand the importance of well-built, robust and quality tack and equipment that is made to do the job required.
VikingsRest creates individually made equestrian products and training equipment to suit a wide range of needs – from the Thoroughbred breeding and racing industry and professional competitors through to recreational riders.
If you have a specific requirement, custom products can also be made to order. Equifest is the perfect opportunity to meet the team, talk through what you need and find out what VikingsRest can create for you.
Also joining VikingsRest at Site 058 is Iconoclast Orthopedic Support Boots.
Designed to provide equine leg support, Iconoclast Support Boots offer an alternative to traditional splint boots and wraps, and are designed with the horse's legs in mind during work and performance.
Whether you're a competitor, trainer or simply looking for quality support equipment for your horse, the team will be at Site 058 to introduce you to the Iconoclast range and answer your questions.
You'll also find The Boss Mane & Tail Elixir. Silicone-free and made with 100% natural ingredients, The Boss is infused with Jojoba Oil and Vitamin E and designed for everyday use.
It helps tackle tangles and burrs while leaving the mane and tail with a beautiful, show-quality finish – whether you're preparing for the show ring or simply keeping your horse looking their best at home.
