Second hand racing equipment

[milly1234]

I was wondering if anyone knew of anywhere I might be able to aquire some second hand equipment for point to pointing. Particuarly jockey apparel, as it is all so expensive!
Thank you

Ebay is about the best, but TBH you wont find much, I started 3 yrs ago and started with lots of borrowed stuff and bought a bit more each year.
Still on borrowed stirrups and weightcloth!

ask people at the yards or at point to points if they have anything they're getting rid of. TBH unless its trashed or broken or they're giving up horses people tend to keep their stuff till it wears out. e-bay at the end of the pointing season is the best place, keep looking on there though.

I have some new racing stirrups if you need them; bought them at a saddler's closing down sale as my motto is ' they might come in handy'!! PM if you want more details. I used to have a weight cloth hanging about too but think that's disappeared somewhere. Do have a paddock surcingle and breastplate too.
