New riding hat, tack shops in the midlands

[Bobby Boy]

Hi, I'm after a new hat for my 13 year old daughter, our local tack shops don't have a huge choice so can anybody recommend somewhere in the midlands where we can try a few on, thanks

Townfields (Coventry) shouldn't be a world from you if Barby's local. There's also a Countrywide on the way up there and Horsesense at Solihull RC if you go a bit further.

Thanks for the replies, I will do a bit of searching on the web and see if some of the places have websites so I can see what hats they stock

Countrywide in Hook Norton had a good selection of hats when I nipped in there yesterday.

Townfields has a good selection of Charles Owen.

Hurst Saddlers in Wigston, Leicestershire has all sorts of hats there too. Charles Owen and Gatehouse, crash and velvet. A lot of kids sizes too. My OH got his CO crash hat from there and I got my navy Gatehouse Hickstead showing hat from there. Good prices too.

This is the problem, because she wears her hat a lot as we like her to wear it at all times when she's with her horse, it needs to be something she wants to wear!
She likes the look of the ventilated hats which will help with all her hair but finding somewhere that has a good selection of different styles is hard

Robinsons have lots.
Alternative is to wait til first weekend in may and go to badminton horse trials. There should be every hat style in the country there
