    Aubiose or myscanthus

    Gift for seller of horse?

    When we sold my daughter’s pony years ago the lady who bought her gave my daughter a huge Easter egg. She was very happy and it reassured me the pony had gone to a caring home.

    Welliies.

    Not bought their wellies but Griggs Agriculture very good. Bought a couple of Barbour jackets from them which were considerably less expensive than anywhere else. I think they have an equestrian section as well.
