Some products by companies I haven't heard of before.

I bought in the sale a summer base layer. £10.99 free postage. As its late in the season I am reluctant to shell out £30 for something that might not get much more use. It's by Equipride. The annoying thing about their website is they want you to register or log in before you can see the products. That's a no from me I sourced it elsewhere.

The current sky blue / turquoise one is driving me nuts as its too big since losing weight. And the sleeves were always a little on the long side. D.P Equine. If anyone would like it I can post a few photos and size. I will run it through the machine, it's got a few little marks on it from the barrow. No idea what!!



Anyone else bought anything in the sale or trying a new product instead of the usual ones.

Actually scrap that.
What have you bought recently 😆 🤣 😂

I've actually been quite good about horsey shopping lately, well stuff for me anyway - I'm still buying loads of stud muffins, fly masks and fly repellent!

When I do buy sales or discount stores are my go too unless I badly want something, I resent how much anything related to horses is marked up. Ithinkthe last thing I bought full price for me was an Ariat jacket in the spring but that won't be going near the stables for years!

I haven't had Stud Muffins for ours for years! They used to be Joe's favourite treat.

I don't buy specific equestrian wear for myself much anymore. I ride in Asda stretch skinnies or old jodhs mostly. My last big horsey purchase was her ELB Cavallo boots. Just waiting on a pair to arrive for her backs too. Though judging by this morning's escapades, they will likely end up tossed in the ditch that runs between my neighbour and mine's land. Found her wearing one boot this morning...............:rolleyes:

I think you can buy reflective straps for them. I changed to that, just in case we lost one out hacking.

I like the sales and agree anything related to any sport is inflated price wise.
My most recent full price purchase was my hi viz gloves, but already forgotten who they are by.

Lol I don't reflective, I just need to superglue them on. Watched one come flying off this morning after they'd done the 2.30 from Cheltenham around the field. Zi can shift. He's a powerhouse. Oh for a gallop on board that beast! Fuzzy on the other hand struggled to keep up, but she did try!
 
Fly spray and feed is all I’ve brought recently. I got another pair of aubrion tights about 4 months ago as I love my last pair, but despite being the same model and size, they don’t fit as well and they’re too blinking sticky, I feel like my inner thigh is getting ripped off!!

I’m putting off buying the bigs new fly masks, they had new ones in spring (unbranded ones) but they’re looking worse for wear now, I don’t think they’ll last until autumn.

I always wondered about sticky bum jodhs / breeches. How do they work when we do rising trot? Like they are meant to help you grip the saddle? Or are they not like that now? Its a long time since I bought any johdhs.
Its annoying when the same model and size don't fit.
I get that with Asda jeans. Sometimes they vary enormously and I have to wear a belt to keep them up - other times I have to suck my belly in lol

I find full sticky seat too much personally, rising trot and my jods stay on the saddle and I’m just moving inside of them 🤣 I like knee only, or knee and thigh, then they don’t really do anything unless Monkey puts in some moves, unless they’re super sticky like this pair!

I think the ones on the riding tights are a type of silicone so maybe less sticky?
Maybe this is why I was struggling to get on bareback, I was simply sticking to the spot I got to 😆
 
Some are definitely stickier than others, the first pair I had nearly put me off for good because I could hardly dismount!

Finally the top has actually arrived, so I hope to ride in it tomorrow.
My friend gave me a voucher and I treated myself to some Ariat socks with a bit of how much!!!!! Thrown in 😆
