It gets even worse for male riders. A cheap pair of jodphurs starts around £30 and normal range is more like £60+.

Check out the different cost for air jackets, Hit Air do a motorbike jacket much cheaper than the equestrian ones, and you can get them in flourescent yellow if you buy the bike ones.

Bought some mint and tea tree shampoo from pound stretcher for a quid. In countrywide tea tree shampoo would be around £6-7 for practically the same thing. Tack boxes i recon you could buy an alternative from diy store for a lot less. Also brooms, wheelbarrows, metal bins etc cost an arm and a leg in equestrian shops.

Absoluately agree with the tack boxes. I did get a 'tool' box from B&Q which cost half the price and was bigger. I found it more useful cause the field was so far away from the stables at my old yard, we tacked up down there and I could shove his boots and my hat/gloves in it as well as a few brushes. Instead of a mounting block at the field my mum used a 2 step stepladder you can get cheaper from Argos. It was also metal so we found it more durable than most plastic ones. Tack cupboards. I found they were too small to hold my stuff and went to a second hand shop and got an old metal office cupboard far cheaper and a bigger size. I bolted a saddle rack inside it and it was fantastic. Saddle was about 17inches.

Wow this ruffles the feathers of a lot of us then There was a horsey car boot sale not far from me just last year it was ace I strongly recommend this to anyone the yard made a few bob, lots of people got to clear out "junk" and I got a roller for £20 and my friend got a Myler bit still had tags on priced at £56 and she got it for £30 just shows one man's junk is another man's treasure (or something like that)
