The Equistore is an equestrian retail store that provides all sorts of products pertaining to horse care and riding. You can buy and sell these items from other players through the market. Read more about this game mechanic on the market page.
These items are not fully functional yet, therefore they are not required to take care of horses. You can ignore them for now, although treats can already be used to increase your horse's affection or energy slightly. Treats can only be given to your horse once per day.

If you want to take the item off, go to your horse's profile, click on the Training tab, and then click on the item you want to un-equip. After taking them off, the items will return to your inventory.
A horse wearing a halter gets a score boost of +3 to its performance in conformation shows. Breed-specific halters like the “Arabian Show Halter” can be put on any horse breed.
Horse tack is discipline-specific and comes in various qualities from basic to supreme. For example, the basic jumping saddle will add a score boost of +1 to a horse in a show jumping competition. You can put a dressage saddle on a show jumping horse, but it will not affect your competition score. For most disciplines, the tack consists of a saddle, pad and bridle, only driving requires a harness and a wagon.
