So what is your favourite brand? Is there a certain brand that you stick to for everything, or are you the kind of person who buys whatever is cheapest?
Personally I buy whatever is cheapest (Usually unbranded things :p) But I have to say I am a fan of Loveson rugs, My heavyweight that I have now is loveson and has lasted me 4 years so far.
 
I always used to love Dublin stuff but not so keen on their newer things now.

Rug-wise I bought some Jumpers Horse Line rugs last year and LOVE them. I would definitely buy again. Always used to be Horseware Amigo but I don't think the quality is as good as it was and the shapes are a bit odd now. My horse came with a Fal-Pro rug - I adore it though I would never be able to afford one myself!

That's about it as I don't tend to be particularly loyal to a brand, I just buy what fits and suits me at the time. Do love a bargain but I won't buy, say, Robinsons branded stuff as I think if you buy really cheaply, you do buy it twice.
 
i always buy my horse horseware ireland stuff as it seems really good quaility he also has some jhon whitaker bits and bobs they are of a very good quallity too but very expensive
 
Mark Todd!!
I've got rugs, clothing, tack, horse boots and it's all lasting so well! The prices are really reasonable too :)
 
Toggi clothes

Ariat boots

Fal rugs (the old style ones)

Barnsby grip pads and leatherwork

Fylde and Albion leatherwork

Neue schule

Sprenger

Otto Schumacher

HKM horsey accessories as they have an excellent range in millions of colours

Ideal, I love their saddles.
 
weatherbeeta mainly because they are the only rugs that seem to fit taz really well, as his horsewear one is a bit snug as is his JHL but then horsewear stuff is designed for TBs but couldnt resist the rug, and the added discount with work,

For me, its mountain horse boots, or mark todd ones usually, and toggi breeches all the time, feed is usually spillers, and dengie hi fi. Think thats about it.
 
i genraly buy whats cheapest, but i LOVE the shires stormcheter rug! iv had 3!. i like weatherbeeta rugs (for my dog and horses!). boots for myslef i love my dublin river boots! and my mountain horse boots. i dont realy wear the genral horsey clothes to the yard as i find there too expencive to get coverd in horse poo! i normaly just wear cheap jeans (asdas, new look and tesco) and mens hoodies!
 
I love the horseware rugs the fit so much better than any other rug. Dublin boots but would like if they could make them for people with short legs rather than have to pay out to have them cut to size.

Horseware rugs, always! Alvadazzle for mane and tail conditioner. I'm a joddie snob and always buy Pikeur, Cavello etc but I love a Primark bargain for socks, jumpers and coats!
 
normaly horseware/weatherbeeta for rugs

Ariat Boots/Gaiters

Dublin Chaps/Showjacket

I love John Whitaker Stuff have had the Tendon Boots and Im just about to order a Tendon and Fetlock Set for Java.

I have a Pessoa Saddle GFS Bridle

I tend to buy more expensive larger items as they will last longer, for example I bought a more expensive saddle and rugs and things and boots and gaiters but smaller things like Headcollars, I have a Derby House £2.99 Headcollar!
 
Ooh I forget to mention that I do love Just togs jods, but at the moment I am quite liking tescos jods. Cheap as chips, and have actually lasted me ages. A friend of mine dresses herself and her horse completely in John Whitaker. I find the stuff too expensive IMO but I have to say I fell in love with the Union Jack saddle pad for around £45, I soooo want!!
 
I'm fickle really as with rugs and stuff I will grab a bargain where I can but I do love the Premier Equine rugs as they last for a very long time plus I love the ariat boots and wont buy any others..
 
I love Horseware, Weatherbeeta and Mark Todd Rugs for my boys. I like quite a lot of stuff in the Mark Todd Range. I love everything Joules, Dublin Jodhpurs, Cottage Craft Girths, Woof Wear Brushing Boots, NAF Feed Supplements, Ariat Boots and Caldene for Show Jackets. :)

Oh I saw that in Robinsons, it was gorgeous!! All the sections of the flag were individually stitched, too nice to use! I have a John Whitaker headcollar which I love, had it bout 5 yrs now used nigh on everyday and it still looks fab.

For rugs weatherbeeta, or their cheaper version Saxon, which are a bargain, for the price they're well made and fit well much better than other budget ranges.

Also had a libbys bridle for a few years now which also has really stood up to some
abuse! Takes no looking after gets chucked in the wash and comes up good everytime.

Oh and splash clothing! I live in their stuff!
 
Axiom rugs on ebay! cheap but high denier and best fitting rugs iv found!

Dever Ascot bridlework- really cheap in one of my local tack shops and love the "australian nut" colour and the padded headpieces!

Black country saddle and leatherwork! reasonably priced and the comfiest saddle iv ever sat in!

...and for me...Primark :P
 
Masta, Mountain Horse and Musto. Hmm, all the M's!! Musto is a brand I swear by but I do tend to buy more from their sailing line than equine line (I race yachts when I get the chance so like to know i'm definitely going to be warm and dry!). Mountain Horse are just yum for their fleece lined boots and Masta rugs fit the horse really well
 
Love my Horseware rugs, seem to go on anything and don't slip. Like my cheapy derby house breeches for winter, keep me snug without being too thick,used as a 'slop-around' pair and my marks todd's for the summer. Have recently been converted to ariat chaps! Completely love them after just one ride :D
