Thanks for this, it is something that I was not aware of. I am renting, however actively looking to buy as we speak!

Thanks Polos Mum, this is something I have considered before and I know of a couple of saddlers in the county and neighbouring county that do this and charge quite a large % commission but always seem well supplied with second hand tack!

Ladies and gents I have posted a couple of times re becoming self employed within the equine industry. As a recap, I am a new mom to now 13 week old twin boys and I am already becoming increasingly anxious about returning to work and the cost of childcare. At around £90ish a day, I probably...
