Buff is derived from the word bufanda which means scarf in Spanish. However, as well as acting as a scarf, the Buff also has many other ways in which it can be used. We had a lot of fun experimenting the different ways in which to wear it, and how it could be useful when we were riding or around the yard. The Buff comes in many different colours and designs and is seam-free so apparently, it will never fray or fall apart! It was very lightweight and was tiny when folded up, so we could put it in our pockets and carry it around until we wanted to use it.

We thought the designs on the Buffs were interesting and unique. There are loads of different designs to choose from and you can even customise your own one! We certainly stood out, as the colours on the Buffs were very bright!

At this time of year our horses are moulting all over the place, so we wore the Buff bandana style when grooming. This meant we didn't get any horsehair into our newly washed hair, as it was completely covered! It was so useful when mucking out as it stopped wood-shavings, dust, straw and hay from getting in our hair.

As we're sure lots of other riders agree it's really annoying to have sweaty hair and a smelly hat after riding. Wearing the Buff balaclava style under out hats was fantastic for many reasons. The lack of seams made it extremely comfortable, and there were no pressure points to cause headaches. We even forgot that we were wearing them! Our necks were protected from the wind as the

Buff acted as a scarf, and also provided sun protection on hot days. When it was dusty in the menage, we pulled the Buff up to cover our noses and mouths, which stopped anything getting in and it was still easy to breathe though. The best part about wearing the Buff when riding though, was that our heads/hair didn't get sweaty at all. The Buff dried any sweat very quickly so that we stayed dry! Our hats also stayed clean which was great.

We found the Buffs incredibly useful in all types of situations around the yard as well as off it. It can be washed in the machine and dries in no time so it can be worn for all occasions. Hopefully it will last us for a long time to come!
