Riding kit for my grandaughter (Newbury)

[MereChristmas]

Posting here as I am hoping more will see it.

My 7 year old grand daughter needs everything for her riding lessons.
Hat, body protector, jodhpur boots, jodhpurs, gloves and a dark waterproof coat.
Where is best to go in the Newbury area please?
We don’t mind second hand for some items but need to be able to try for size.
Obviously new for hat and body protector.
My son is inclined to go somewhere and buy it all at once!

I am too far away to know where to go.
Thanks in advance

There's a FB group called Berkshire Horse and Pony which often has kids riding kit for sale. Also Decathlon is good for cheap basics

Two-Times tack shop in Long Crendon (HP18). Its an outlet so prices are brilliant and they do hat fittings.

Threshers barn in thatcham.
There is a Mole Valley store in Newbury for johds and boots etc, but not safety equipment.
Or Park Farm in Oakley/basingstoke

Wadswicks might be a bit far away from Newbury but it's got everything including a nice tea shop!

Otherwise E J Wicks in Lambourn or Threshers Barn in Thatcham.

ETA sadly none of them do Secondhand. If you're wanting secondhand then Millwheel in Warfield have a good selection of everything and used to do secondhand too (haven't been in there for ages so might be worth double checking).

I was going to say Wadswick as well !! It's such a lovely place to waste time and spend money.

Calcutts - a short trip down the A34 - do second hand.

Give them a call to see what they have. They also do new hats and body protecters.

Might be a one shop stop if you're lucky

I’m not that far from Newbury and I go to Rokers in Guildford or Eileen Douglas for safety equipment for my daughter and I.
Eileen Douglas has a few stores, I tend to go to the Wokingham one as they’re open on Sunday morning.

Thank you everyone.
I have sent the suggestions to my son.

Robinsons have a superstore in Basingstoke.

At that age I would buy everything second hand except her hat! My 9 year old grandaughter was properly fitted for a hat and BP but everything else has come from FB groups, some really lovely things. They grow so darn quick the little devils!

Thank you. We know but my son does not have any contacts for sizing or second hand. This is starting from scratch over 200 miles from me. It is needed for school and the accepted items are conservative. I think he may have to start with new stuff until more connections are made.

Robinsons have a superstore in Basingstoke.

It closed down over a year ago.
Was awful after sports direct took over.
