I have a set of travel boots I had for my TB mare, I think they're burgundy (could be a dark rusty colour). I'm sure they're cob sized, most of her stuff was. Will check tomorrow. You're welcome to them.

To be fair it is a nice head collar! I think this rug is some ridiculous weight-400g!
I'll never use it!

Wound powder
Poultice/hoof boot (gave it away)
Really stiff dandy brush (too harsh for my sensitive skinned boy)
Polypad (came with him)
Shedding blade (again, too harsh for Kal)
A baby blue show rug that came with him - it's too small
Stockholm Tar - it leaked all over my grooming kit before I ever had a chance to use it - took me ages to wash my brushes . . . they still smell of the stuff (and I quite like the smell)
Face brush . . . I just use the same big soft brush I use on the rest of him
Solo comb . . . I pull his mane using a pulling comb and leave his tail au naturel
Prolite riser . . . I may end up using this but as there's no way to anchor it under the saddle, it slips and is therefore useless
Pink saddle cloth from when we had Nelly - with her name on it . . . somehow seems wrong putting it on Kal
Synthetic stirrup leathers - came with him - awful things
Albion jump saddle (also came with him) - doesn't fit him and I haven't gotten round to selling it (nice saddle)
I think that's it . . .

A lovely Amigo jersey sheet I asked for for my last birthday - but it's too nice to use in the stable and I've got a lovely show rug so I've never used it and it's so nice!

Pretty much everything in my grooming box :redface3: I use a curry comb, mane and tail brush and that's about it! I also have several 'spare' bridles, just in case! The inevitable surplus rugs that never see the light of day...
Blimey, if it'll fit a 6'3 sized cob, I'll have it!

I'm after a 17.5" MW black dressage saddle if anyone has one they don't use that they'd be happy to PM me about? Not looking to break the bank so doesn't need to be perfect

Most of my grooming kit since I bought a magic brush! Plus lots of 2nd hand girths from when I got a bit excited at a local tack sale!

A Wow dressage saddle (never fitted me and the horse hated it)
Exercise bandages (I just use boots, much quicker!)
I have a whole set of shelves with every different lotion and potion under the sun, yet only ever use Hypocare.
The H2go bag which fell out of the wheelbarrow as soon as I tried to tip out any water.
Smart leather headcollar for competitions (always forget about it, and I am generally rushing so no time to dig it out from under my junk).

Set of saddle bags - used to use them on my old horse for long rides (picnic!) but Geoff hates them.
A sheepskin seat saver - I love riding in it but never remember to use it...
Hi viz exercise sheet - it goes under the saddle, so a huge faff, and is too small for my lad (who is 17hh and a 6'9" in rugs). Would love a wraparound one though!!
All my shampoo/mane and tail etc - horse lives out so I feel very guilty washing him with more than just water, even in summer.
A Cheltenham gag and a Cambridge Weymouth and eggbutt single joint bridoon, and a frenchlink baucher.

Loads…..
Sealtex latex bit wrap…never used
Cheltenham gag with full cheeks (nelson gag) with black rope cheek pieces. copper roller mouth piece 5.5"
Toggi esher padded Gilet in brown, size 10/12 Hardly worn)
various bits of bridles- nosebands, cheek pieces, mostly in full. Black
x2 big squares of gamgee pads for under bandages
various brushes, numnahs and boots…..
I think a swap shop would be a great idea- Im not sure why HH would have a problem with it- most people would only really pay to advertise large pieces of tack like saddles etc. too expensive for small bits like this!!

Swap shop is a great idea - and perhaps anything unwanted could be offered to WHW or other local equine charities?

A girth, two bridles, a string-vest style sweat rug, safety stirrups, body protector, various riding hats, various gloves, feed bucket covers, feed buckets, various boots and bandages, various snaffles, exercise sheets and two sheepskin girth sleeves.
And that's after I had a clear-out.
I had a few rugs and some unwanted feed that went to a local charity.

Goat's hair body brush is something I've never used either.
Moulded leg wraps for underneath bandages, bloody useless. I use non-moulded ones instead now.

Travel boots, hock boots (bought for travelling).
Blue rinse! - no matter what I try I always turn my poor mare blue!! I think thats probably my incompetence over a fault with the product though.
Various rugs that I can't bring myself to part with *just in case* so get stored away as spares!
Acavallo gel rear riser
'Tail sock' - awkward to put on, ruckles the hairs the wrong way and encourages static.
Multipurpose plaiting comb/ bulldog clip/ plaiting band holder - not particularly good at any of the above normal method easier. Mad at myself about that one getting sucked into the shiny marketing!!
Scarily probably lots more! I have boxes and boxes of spare stuff that rarely if ever gets used!
