Tack Shops around Gloucester

[HappyHooves]

I am bringing friends to the British Dressage convention at Hartpury in November. Can anyone help with names and locations of good tack shops. We'll be able to travel if there is somewhere worthwhile. My visitors are French so they will be blown away by what's available in the UK. The bigger the stock the better! Thanks in advance.

Pickers saddlery is huge but about an hour south if Hartpury.

Sydney Free Saddlery, Colne Saddlery, Stroud Saddlery (small but good 2nd hand dep)

Merlod, where abouts are these please? Only recognise Stroud which will be good for a visit and can check Colne Valley website for their position but not sure about Hunt Horses or Sydney Free?
