Possibly get thsi pinned and people to add cheap money saving tips to it for horse stuff etc ?
can get huge 20 - 25 litre animal shampoo that does fine for horses and is cheap
tesco value conditioner for mane and tails, the baby shampoos and stuff is ok for animals too
apparently some people even use fair liquid to shampoo with
old tights cut in two make tail wraps
for jump poles, local timber merchants do wooden poles for around 3 - 5 pound
or plastic pipes
can get cheap tape, stickers, paint etc from pound shops and what not to decorate them.
or poly wraps for about 3 pound, recommended for plastic pipes incase they shatter
feel free to add more ;D

Make your own fly repellent, especially as comercial ones containing citronella are now banned. Loads of recipes on the interenet and but the essential oils on ebay. I also make my own fly cream now using Aqueus cream (£1-2 for 500g used from chemist).
Scavange the countryside for old traffic cones, tyres and anything else that can be used to make jumps and obstacles. I look out for things while hacking then sneak round in the car.

I think selling all your neds would be the best money saving tip of all

The other day when i was out riding i found 3 bales of straw that fell off a big wagon, so i went back and picked them up in the car. Buy old blankets and towels from charity shops 50p each Want to get a nice shiney coat after bathing, put 3 drops of olive oil in a bucket of water and give a final wipe over, cheaper than show shine.
