Why on earth would you want to pay professional fees to someone that you seem so certain is repeatedly wrong? Find someone else (unless they are only small, insignificant things...).
I've found quite a few bargains through ebay.
Pair of Petrie riding boots for about £50 delivered.
Nearly new jodhs for £4.
Also, a lovely old Swaine Adeney sandwich box for £30 in an antiques shop.
It doesn't matter too much whether or not the whip has a plaited leather shaft or is plain wooden. It is just down to personal preference. My favourite has cream-coloured thread plaiting.
Yes there seems to be quite a good market for hunting clothes on ebay. I have bought quite a bit there including breeches and stocks, though buyers are always taking a chance with sizing.
