Gallop Equestrian Leather?

[ShowJumperBeckii]

Just been Ebay-ing for a new cheap running martingale just for jumping at home and came across across a gallop one and it seems alright and would do the job but just wondered if anyone had used there leather items? its only 7.99 and wondered if it is this cheap cause it is going to last 5minutes?

The quality is absolute rubbish, think I'd look for a different one personally.

Thought it might be rubbish, just thought it was a good price and was only going to be used once/twice a week. x

I got one off ebay when I first bought the crazy one, it didn't have a brand but I'm pretty sure it might have been a gallop one as it was very very cheap. IF it was a gallop one I used it several times a week for 2 years and it was good. I would get another cheap one in the futur, I use breastplates now though.

I bought a gallop headcollar and rope set though as a present and TBH it was really **** quality and I think the girl knew it was a really cheap one, it was just all thin and floppy.

I think it will be fine for what you want it for. I wouldn't listen to others that wouldn't touch it with a barge pole, not everyone can afford expensive tack especially if it is just for riding at home. Any leather will last a long time if you care for it properly. They made it for a purpose and it will serve that purpose.

I would have no problem purchasing it.

I mean im willing to pay more money to get something a tad more pricey if this is utter pants but i thought it would be silly paying lots of something used a few times a week at maxuim if that

I see what you mean though, i suppose if it breaks its hasnt broke the bank

Personally I don't see how it could break either if you grease it regularly as there should'nt be any strain on it. It shouldn't be tight on the horse at all.

For what you want it for I would buy it, no shame in buying something cheap. If you want to do competitions etc. I would probably get a more expensive one for that purpose though. The cheap one will do fine for hacking and schooling.
