These may be of help:-

There's also a Swedish association which may be of help to your friend:-

thanks, but ithink she was looking for English makers, ie typical English tack for shires, the Swedish ones she wasn't tooimpressed by. Thanks anyway tho!

Sorry - I misunderstood; I've got some bookmarks for English heavy horse sites, I'll have a flip through them later, and see if I can find something.

Best regards,

Jack

Is it traditional english tack she's after or traditional shire tack? I had a xxxf bridle made for my big lad by Risley Saddlery- they were quite reasonably priced as well.

i think she wants some nice riding tack for him, perhaps with some embellishment that is fairly traditional..
