Again a saddle. My sister had a close contact pasoa saddle. Her good mare wouldn't even go over the first fence, she never stops. Changed her saddle back to the fieldhouse and hey back to jumping clear.
Can I just choose two brands...? Shires and Masta rugs. Both awfully designed. I'll stick with Fal and Horseware thanks!
I also have a list of things I have never and will never buy (unless they come up with some better reasons for me to give them my money) - things like that Oxyshot stuff and the most hilarious "equine performance patches"

Couldn't agree more, only now buy Horseware and Fal, they last and they are well designed. I was so p***** off with trying to buy a new middle weight turn out last winter and tried ones with liners and so on, ended up just buying a Rhino original with detachable neck for half the price. It is fab!!!
Masta's fit my hanovarioan x TB fine, had about 3 or 4 turnouts now and they last OK (esp as he's a thug!), a couple of winters usually.
Would never buy one of those prolite numnahs with built in gel 'panels' again, rubbish thing kept slipping.
Oh my word, what's with all the anti-Masta peeps?!?!? Mastas are the only brand that WILL fit my girl; a Masta rug would have been 2nd on my list on the Would-Haves!!!!
On the rug front, it would have to be Amigo rugs for me....althought like Kal, I have had very bad experiences with Pessoa saddles in the past
However, in terms of one thing I will NEVER buy, it has to be a nylon headcollar. Never, never, never
