My England Tack Haul
I am back from searching for a horse, but I won't say anything about it yet until the whole process is done and it is already in the Philippines. So, instead I'll just show you guys the stuff I ordered and stuff I got from tack shops.
FYI I don't mean to brag or show off. I just got a lot because we only get to buy horsey things twice a year, and I also needed new supplies for my horse and new jodhpurs for myself (my old ones are tight).
So, I'll arrange each section by shop and I'll put the link or location of the shop.
Chobham Rider & The Saddle Room (Chobham, Surrey, U.K. or www.chobhamrider.com)
This is one of the first tack shops I've ever been to, and it is my main tack shop (that I can visit). It's a very charming-looking store located near where my relatives live.
The owner and her assistants are very helpful and were kind enough to assist me in getting the stuff I need and to source for me some items that were not available then, when i visited them. They took down some orders and, after a few days, advised me that the items were ready for pick-up. They even reminded my mom that we can can get a VAT refund at the airport and readily processed the form for her.
They recently put up their online shop. So, those who find it hard to go to their physical store can just check them out in the net.

| The Chobham Rider and The Saddle Room Store |
Fouganza/Decathlon (http://www.fouganza.co.uk)
This is my favourite tack shop where I get my fun and coloured stuff. Fouganza is the brand and it is widely available in Europe. In the UK, they are distributed by Decathlon, a huge sports store. I find their supplies are really good quality and are significantly more affordable. My coach told me that she heard that these products are made in Korea and that is why they are able to price their products cheaper than those that are produced in Europe.
Robinsons Equestrian (http://www.robinsonsequestrian.com)
This is my main online tack shop where I order most of the things I get online. They are pretty efficient in delivering ordered items. Their customer service is superb and they also give out rewards points for each purchase. Those rewards points can be redeemed in subsequent online purchases.
Emmers Tack Shop (B-3930 Hamont/Bostraat 26, Belgium or http://emmers-horsesupplies.com)
This is a tack shop I visited in Belgium and where I got a few things. We already bought our major items in Chobham Rider before we got here.
It is so big, around the size of a small supermarket. They had so many choices for anything and everything for the horse and rider. It was like the Toys R Us, Horsey version!

So that's it. If you have anything to say about these products and stores, please says so in the comments.
