Ohhh How beautifully old school, I'd definitely off to order one. I used to love the Robinsons catalogue (and filling out my order form to post 🤣)
A combination of too many horses and just prices going up in general- anyone seen the cost of a new Rambo now?!! means I've bought several bits from Shires the last year or so both horse and human and I've been really pleased with them all.

I fell off my chair at the price of the new Rambo rugs - for one Rambo rug I could kit both my boys out in a full range of Shires rugs (and I have a rising 2 year old who I swear is part T-Rex!)

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?


Yes, just ordered one.

So excited even tho the horse can only wear Big Horse Shop rugs 🤣

Mine will only fit in Ruggles HH rugs once fully grown but while he's growing the Shires rugs do a pretty good job at less than half the price.

He has just grown out of his 7'3" shires rug and it is a little too small in the neck so I may have to switch to Ruggles before winter.

I like Shires casual trousers / jogging bottoms for general yard work. (I mean, I'm feral, I practically live in them most of the time.) It's annoying you can't seem to see the catalog online - I don't want a physical one - but I would like to see the options for updating my heavily worn trousers!

Ordered mine! I used to spend hours circling the Derby House and Shires catalogues with items for my imaginary RS 🤣

There were so many Dublin Cuddly Ponies items that I desperately wanted! I was thrilled when I was given the purple fleece Cuddly Ponies gloves for my birthday.

Am I going to order one pretty much just for the feeling of nostalgia for this??

(Yes)

I live in the Kramer Fengur winter range and have just replenished all my summer tops and socks which were considerably reduced. I do love my Shires Eleonora boots though, worn every day through two winters and all last summer but they do get quite warm so I’m going to buy the trainer version for this summer.
