Best horsey shop in Scotland

The Jetset at the garden centre became the Glasgow Derby House

It's called Jetset again now that Derby House is gone. And it's better than when it was Derby House, IMO, their range of stuff has improved :D It's just that Symington is over an hour's round trip for me.

I think you're mistaken. The Glasgow derby house has shut down completely. The one in Ayr was taken over by jetset again. However, the shop at the garden centre used to be jetset years ago, then derby house, and now it's equi-store.

There are garden centres at both stores. Equi store is next to Dobbies in Milngavie and Jet Set in Dundonald/Symington is next to Frasers garden Centre (who do amazing strawberry fresh cream cakes in the summer!)

There is also Crockets at the roundabouts on the way into Ayr

In Lanark next to Scottish Equi there is a large shop. Think it's called the Country Store.

Also an amazing shop in Peebles called Millers Town and Country, also next to garden centre. There's a bit of a theme here.
 
I used to shop in Derby House every weekend and was devastated when it closed down! It was really handy for me and good because you could try things on and get to see what it really looked like rather than shopping online and guessing sizes. I heard about a new shop that opened up in Glasgow from some of the girls who used to work in Derby house but now work there. Its called Tic Tac Equestrian they dont have an actually shop yet but they do have a website and small store room where i can try stuff on. Its really good because its not to far away and the girl who works there will drop off my stuff if i cant make it in to save me on postage :) They sometimes dont have things in stock but they always try to offer another product or get it for me as soon as. I cant wait until they open a shop!
 
I'm not too keen on crockets at ayr, But love Jestset in Dundonald (Used to be DH), Also love the one in at Rowallan, fist saddlery i thik it's called! Also muirmill have a wee tack shop! And there's one in Girvan too! Other than that i shop online!
 
Millers, both Peebles and Dalkeith one
Equikro also
And first saddlery at rowallan? Got my hat sent out to me so quickly!

Another one up for a HHO meet - I'm Edinburgh :D
 
Riders at the bottom of Lanark is okay, there's also WCF up behind Tesco in Lanark that has a decent feed selection, hats, boots, rugs etc (although I'd also an agri/farm shop) or there is the Country Shop at Lawrie & Symington (auction market) again in Lanark, just out by the old race course.

I'm pretty lazy and refuse to shop more than 15 minutes from my house - or the usual places online :)
 
I quite like Fosterton Pet & Equine in Leslie by Glenrothes.. they have stalls at local events too. Although tbh I buy most stuff online these days.
 
I rarely bother with actual tack shops now. My local one is so full of stuff you can never find what you need and they don't really cater for showing - mainly jumping and xc. It is also stupidly exspensive! I only ever venture there when there is something I need at the last minute - such as hoof oil, plaiting thread and jody clips as I am always losing them!

I buy a lot of Rideaway and Hope Valley Saddlery online.
