recomended tack sites and shops

[Lusitanolou]

I have an extremely long list of things I require this winter and I'm not rolling in dosh having just bought a new horse and going over to Portugal for the Golega fair. So any help, advise recommended good quality but not to costly places to shop would be great.

I prefer on the internet as i don't have a great amount of time to spend travelling around to tack shops.

Urgent needs are: 6'3" light and middleweight turnout rugs.
6'3" Middleweight sable rug.

Warm coat for me that covers hips.

Not so urgent are: Jodphurs for me.

Double English bridle brown to match Chocolate Albion saddle.

Any suggestions of good web sites etc greatly Appreciated.

My mate Nic has a mail order tackshop, she can help with rugs and stuff for you and that, she does Shires mainly, but does other brands to :)

Robinsons are usually a goodprice for stuff.

[SA rider]

yes Robinsons are excellent, I've just bought the Saxon Standard turnout rug middleweight for about £37. It's smart and warm.
They have great prices on jods too.
Link is http://www.robinsons-uk.com/

Would agree about robinsons, but I don't like paying loads of carriage So I have also used this place - http://www.tackshop.co.uk/ and they do free carriage when you spend over £50 :D
Always had super speedy delivery from them too, unlike robinsons who seem to be unable to find my house !!

[joshes mum]

www.horserugs4u are very good i think they do other stuff too, also www.rideaway.co.uk

[Angel155]

also www.rideaway.co.uk

Another vote here for Rideaway, either that or my trusty friend eBay ;)

[Trewsers]

Yes, I like Rideaway too. Usually very efficient.

[girl-friday]

www.equestrianclearancewarehouse.com is brill, I got a load of stuff from there last month, including a Weatherbeeta taka turnout that should have been about £145 for £89.99 :o

Also, try www.james-howard.co.uk they do a free and speedy delivery.

[dancerinthecorn]

EBAY, always first choice!!! :D

[Jessey]

www.horserugs4u are very good i think

I would do a search on NR about this, I am not so sure they have a great rating :o

[Lusitanolou]

Thanks for the help. I found Robinsons costly on the carriage and rideaway a bit pricey although prompt and efficient service. Will try the other sites you suggest.

Jessey - I seem to recall something being said about horserugs4u aswell so will do some homework.

MeMe - Can you pm me Nics details ta.

I ordered some rugs on Tuesday and got them on Wednesday, didn't think the prices were too bad either.

[joey_olop]

I use ebay alot for bargains and Derby House is very good too :)

[jenren!!]

Rideaway is good. Just got some lovely boots from there and very impressed - cheap and came quick, and are lovely!

[Lusitanolou]

Thanks for all the links. I have been busy looking and my lis now appears to be even longer. OOOhhhh help. Like the equestrianclearancewarehouse. The prices seem very good.

[DITZ]

I got an email from Derbyhhouse this morning with a promotion of 10% off their rugs online using this code : 004WEB until 7th October.

I know Rideaway had rug special offer recently too.

I just ordered from the place Jessey mentioned. I got a new hat, some cleaning stuff and a Stubben saddlecloth - all of which were cheaper there than anywhere - including ebay, and there was no P&P which saved another £5.
