Just a bit of fun on a boring Tuesday afternoon! Are there any equestrian products (clothing, tack etc) that you love but can't get in the UK? And either have to order in or get when you're travelling?

Mine would be SSG deerskin roping gloves - SSG do sell some gloves (not so much the western ones) in the UK but I always get these if I go to the US as they're so great for winter and don't go all hard and crusty like other leather gloves :-)

Let's hear yours!
 
CWD bridles and leatherwork. Has to be ordered from mainland Europe and usually takes up to a month to arrive, assuming they've got it in stock and it's not a special order - then it's 6-8 weeks.

Also breastplates with blue and white elastic (as opposed to green and gold) which are completely impossible to get over here without spending ££££.

The saddlery closest to me does load of SSG gloves - I have a pair that I love, though not leather ones. Are any of these any use OP?

Not horsey, but I love Tim-Tam biscuits and you can't get them here. Oh also a particular variety of Cadburys Snack biscuit that you can get in ROI but hard to find up here in NI (I'm biscuit obsessed today!). I stock up if I'm over the border.
