I was in here today and they sell them! 35 pounds I think!
They will do mail order too.

Apart from that, you see them on eBay...

Oh thankyou!.Just one more thing?.Do these have a website??.

Try some of the 'old' saddlers, not the 'biggies' although I think Rideaway do them too. I bet Ravenwood would know of somewhere on Exmoor that does them! Otherwiseyou could go to the top and try Swaine Addeney in London or you could try good old ebay!

Thanks MFH_09.Good idea!.

Ring your huntsman I bet he knows someone who makes them.

LOL I read hunting thong (before everything else) and thought, wow that would be uncomfortable underwear to wear all day hunting - PMSL

No, they don't have a web site. They are a traditional harness maker/saddler and most of their business is making/mending things for people who come in to the shop.

They mend quite a few hunting whips, hence selling the thongs/latches.

I have seen them for as little as £25 on ebay

Not sure if they do mail order but this is my local saddler on the edge of Exmoor. He sells hunting thongs.
