well in my household, I can do without new clothes and car bling, but make the neds do without new rugs? Never!
I mean if you want mail order, which has the better reputaion - Derby House, Robinsons, Horserugs4U or Rideaway?
Lets just say only the York based one has never given me or anyone I know any problems!!!

Gosh, they've had a few quid off me over the years!
The only thing I have noticed recently is that they seem to focus more on the mail order stuff now.
The shop is often in a state of disarray, with staff who are not quite as well informed as they could be.
I still make the odd pilgrimage there though, although I'm 250 miles away now, and not just 5 miles down the road like I used to be!

Sounds like the Robinsons store in Ashton to me!

I was gutted when DH bought Olney. A really quality saddlery was completely destroyed. DH are SO crap now I don't even bother looking at their website. However I've never had a problem with Rideaway and they are often my first port of call for basic riding gear. Nothing fancy, but the deliver. Hope someone decent buys them and continues a good business.
