The new Shires Catalogue!

[southerncomfort]

I am giddy with excitement! 500 pages to browse, and circle all the things I'd like!

First impression of 2025 ranges is really good. They've launched a range of crossover active wear with some genuinely innovative features.

Good choice of colours, but some of the colour descriptions are leaving me cold though e.g shadow. Genuinely can't tell if it's black, navy or dark charcoal grey. Also Umber.

New range for kiddies that is very cute.

I do like Shires. I think you get a lot for your money compared to pricier brands, and they aren't just copying those brands but coming up with their own designs.

ETA also have a young rider range for tweenies and teenagers.

I still have the 2012/13 Rideaway catalogue. I love looking through it.

Shires are usually pretty good quality, still holding their own against recent competitors
Did you get it with a mag?

Mine came through the door on Friday, love a good browse of a catalogue!

No, they put up a post on FB inviting people to request a catalogue.

Thanks for telling! I have a few things from Shires and always found them good quality. Don’t do FB but found a place on the website to order, love a catalogue!

Love a good catalogue ( sorry trees )

There used to be a website that had the Shires stock discounted. Think it was barnstormers.co.uk or .com. Will check later.

Yes, I've used them in the past, but had forgotten about them!

 

[Meredith]

barnstormers are in Hereford I think

 

[tda]

Just ordered one (yes sorry trees)

 

[HopOnTrot]

Yay! I’ve just sat down with the Kramer catalog and remembered how much nicer it is than a website!

Shires duly ordered

My Shires catalog came last week and I really enjoyed looking through it. Don’t really need anything but still plan to treat myself…..

 

[Snowfilly]

Just ordered one, I haven’t had a paper tack catalogue in years and I don’t need a thing for two retired ponies who don’t leave the field but…

It’ll be a nice nostalgic evening, at best.

We all used to circle things in the Robinson and Derby House catalogues to make shopping lists for horses we’d never own, right?

 

[spotty_pony2]

Just ordered one! Not had one for years!

Can I give a great big 'well done' for the Shires Arma Contour Pro saddle pads. I picked one up in a sale and I don't think I ever want a different saddle pad.

My horse is wide and while he doesn't have a prominent wither, he needs a generous cut because he is so big. The Contour Pro fits utterly perfectly under his 17" Chunky Monkey saddle, even better than my heavy horse saddle pads.

Love the Shires Moretta boots for comfort and quality.

Excuse me while I go order myself a catalogue.

 

[Traks]

The Kramer one arrived today too! Some fab stuff in there and very reasonably priced! If you’ve not seen their stuff I’d definitely recommend! They are in Germany I think but all returns go back to a UK office

Does the saddle pad sit up in the gullet at the front? I’m looking for something similar I think.

 

[SpotsandBays]

Love shires. Haven’t had a catalogue in years! Off to order one now…

Yes, even on my dinosaur! I can't find a good picture but my friend also has one of these on his wide, 19hh Suffolk and it fits like they are 'normal' horses.

 

[Lucky Snowball]

Another vote for Shires Moretta boots. Really comfortable and smart.

 

[ecb89]

Another who has killed some trees. Love a catalogue.

 

[Identityincrisis]

I love Kramer, very reasonable price and good quality, and yes, returns to a uk address

When their catalogue dropped I have to say I thought ‘how outdated’ but I’ve love looking through it! I used to call the Rideaway catalogue my horsey p0rn mag

 

[smiggy]

Just ordered one thanks, they must be wondering why demand has gone up !
I miss cam and Robinsons

 

[fidleyspromise]

Ordered.
I need some new bits and pieces for Tal so looking forward to it arriving

 

[southerncomfort]

I like the hi viz Equiflector all weather robe!

I'm keen to try these but I reckon I need a short/wide fitting (the glamour ) and they seem to be like hen's teeth! Maybe I need to try and find an in person stockist...
