Wish list tack shop!

[lucythomas]

Random poat really but what would be your ideal tack shop?
a) your wish list item/ brand
b) Do you buy all your stuff online or do you seek advice from tack shops?
c) your main gripe about your local tack shop

My local tack shop is a huge barn of stock all shoved in!! Some of it old and in tatty boxes etc!! None of it is even on a computer system!! NO IDEA how she knows whats in and out of stock!! Also they never seem to have my size!! And im only a 12!! Shes a lovely lady but not really business of the year!!

I'd like one thats nearer to home! the local feed shop is a 20 minute drive from the yard, they stock a good variety of feed and if you want something they dont have they will order it in for you. The nearest tack shop is a 30 minute drive away too but it is massive and has everything you could want, does feed and bedding as well. I would say I buy 60% of stuff online just because its easier!

local one doesn't have great stock.
wish list brands: FAL, Sabre, Nuumed for the horse.
Pikeur, Cavello, Ariat... top-end breeches in lots of different fabrics and colours etc.

I like shops that have a second hand section.
Somewhere to get a bargain and somewhere to off load your used things.

A shop that stocks brands I've heard of, a good range of sizes, and is organized so that I can find stuff.
