Best horsey shop in Scotland

[holeymoley]

So which is it?

 

[ElleD]

Opportunity, tough one! Er, I tend to go online, wherever the bargains are.....which is usually Hope Saddlery.....which isn't Scottish. Shame on me :/

 

[ElleD]

Bloody phone: supposed to say oooooo, tough one!

 

[weesophz]

ditto going online, equestrian clearance has been my best pal recently! not sure if its the best but everything equestrian in busby was pretty handy when i was there with my first pony

 

[holeymoley]

Yeah I find myself doing a lot online. However I was in the jetset saddlery in Ayr about a year ago and it was fab. I remember going to central saddlery a few years ago and that was good too. They are quite a distance to travel though so only go if I'm on holiday or have lots of money! Hah.

 

[weesophz]

never been to jetset always one of those ones my parents promised me a trip to but never went! went to derby house a few times but always found it so expensive, and again it was when i had my first pony and they rarely had anything tiny pony sized! its a shame there arent a lot of local horsey shops, would be good if they had one in the city centre in glasgow!

I think for the size of it, The Tack Room in Kinross is rather good. They have an unbelievable selection of stuff and have yet to fail me on what I wanted. Excellent customer service. Also a second hand section, I love that.

Central Saddlery have a lot of stuff but my recent visits I have been disappointed about the staffs attitude. Some of them are down right rude and totally disinterested in helping you. I liked it better when it was a freezing cold cow shed and just Jackie

Conchie's pretty good too.

I love Equikro in Edinburgh. Great selection right across the board. Also they have a wee comfy area with free tea and coffee. we sometimes have a mini meet there and they have got us cakes in if they know we are coming. Their sales are usually pretty good too and the staff are helpful and friendly.

[Chestnuttymare]

Sorry but it is worth a visit. They have gift type stuff too, ornaments and jewellery etc (have you been to Scotnorth events)

Sounds like a plan

 

[measles]

Hazelden is good for high end purchasing - or maybe mostly browsing!

 

[Brightbay]

I end up driving down to JetSet if I need anything.

There used to be a much more convenient JetSet up at a garden centre near Bishopbriggs, but I don't know if it's still there.

There's Crocketts in the centre of Glasgow for emergency replacement hoof picks/vetwrap/grooming kit.

I get most stuff online now, tbh, but for boots and hats, you really need to try on before buying.

 

[threeponies]

The Jetset at the garden centre became the Glasgow Derby House. There is now Equistore in that shop, at Dobbies in Milngavie. MJR Equine Supplies in in Kirkintilloch near Bishopbriggs, does hats,feed bedding etc

We should have a Scottish HHO meet up somewhere.

The big country store thing in Strathaven has a decent selection of stuff. I always thought the Derby House in Glasgow was a bit pants and wasn't sorry when they closed down. When my horse stayed nearish Milngavie, I went to that and thought it was okay.

There's a new one just opened in Partick, on Dumbarton Rd., but last time I was in that bit of Glasgow, they were still "opening soon" but hadn't yet. I used to live a block from there and was bummed that hadn't appeared a year or so earlier.

Is this the one that's ran by the girl that used to be the manager in DH?

 

[Merlin11]

McCash's in Perth has a good selection. I also go to the tack room at Kinross and fosterton equine and pet in Leslie.

I haven't a clue. We were going into the homebrewing shop on the corner there when I spotted it. I stood in front of the "opening soon" sign going, "Oooooh.... taaaack shop....." and my husband said that he was relieved I didn't live in that neighbourhood anymore (was bad enough being across the street from the Cotswold outdoor gear shop).

 

[holeymoley]

Haha. I don't know where it is but I remember hearing through the grape vine that the manager from DH was going to be opening her tack shop in Glasgow somewhere. I think she does online stuff just now.

 

[Mrs Claus]

I think she runs the shop in Rowallan. There may be another though!

Where abouts in Patrick? That's on my work route

 

[Marydoll]

The tack room kinross, very helpful staff and packed to the rafters with goodies
Equikro edinbugh nice stuff reasonable price
The shop at Boquhan estates some really nice stuff there and their sales are good

 

[ElleD]

Alaino - where's the wee one in Larkhall? That wld b v handy for me!

 

[Jingleballs]

I tend to buy most things online as there is more choice and better prices.

If I do go to at tack shop I use my local on, Glentore. I used to livery there and although it's just a small shop, they can generally order most things in for you.

 

[aimsymc]

Best shop is without a doubt hazeldean!! The one in rowallan is also good, got a few bargains in last time i was down. another one i like is the one at kingsbarn, not sure on name but had lovely stuff though
