So who went to Aldi and bought some horsey stuff? What did you get? I got a pink Tshirt which is fab, pink socks, brown jodhs which are a bit too big even in small :( Yellow exercise sheet and the yellow neck tabard :)
 
I got the brown polo, and loads of hi viz, the neck band, harness thing (which I thought will be better for summer than my tabard.) and the exercise sheet. Was tempted by the socks and brown jods.. But told myself I have enough!
 
Pink socks, purple socks and black socks. 2x pink leg bands, 2x yellow legbands, pink neckstrap, yard boots, hat and arm bands and a mesh exercise sheet. £68! Whoops.
 
I had nosey and only ended up with the socks, i also thought i would mention about the Tesco's website there is a sale on the equestrian section and all the stock is well known brands, for three 7ft 3in rugs just £140 one is masta turnout with full neck, one a masta turnout no neck and one lightweight show rug.
 
I couldn't get there today but have had their stuff before so I'm hoping there will be things left tomorrow. I want some more hi-viz!
 
One pink and one brown polo, pink socks and the neck strap. Would've spent more but managed to stop at that! The polo's are a good fit, quite thin as well :)
 
I'm wearing all my stuff now as I'm off to do the neds in a bit!!


I think most of the sizes got ransacked as they didn't have the large in the pink polo or my size in the pink socks and only one pair of brown jods in size large left in the shop. I got the brown polo, brown jods and the purple & black socks. I might try another Aldi tomorrow to see if there if there are any pink tops left in large or the pink sock. I'm pleased with my brown jods too as I'm 5'9" and they are long enough for me to wear joddy boots with, whoo hoo!!

The hi-viz looked good but I already have all my matchy matchy pink hi viz already and the yard boots didn't come in a size 8 (the 7's looked too small). The socks don't come in 8 but the 7's fit me good.

I must say that the polos are WAY better quality than the ones they sold last year though!!!
 
Leg bands are MASSIVE, they're going back. They'd probably work if worn over tendon boots but not bare legs.
 
I managed to talk myself out of buying the jods etc. and went for the hi-viz leg bands and an exercise sheet. I already have various hi-viz but those two items are missing from my collection and were great value.

I did think that the leg bands looked very big. They'll be fine for my horse but far too big for a lot of others I would think.
 
I bought brown jods,which i have on today,and very nice too!!!
A polo shirt in brown and gillet for mother in laws birthday...in sept...hope i dont pinch them before hand!!!:eek:
I also bought a pink high viz harness....i thought it was the one that goes over ned nods neck,but was for human!!!:rolleyes:Never mind,will still be useful
 
I went back this morning to another Aldi's to see if they had a large pink polo and the pink socks in 7 but they didn't so took the medium out and tried it on over my dress and it fit quite nicely. More snugger in the boob but that is ok! They only had size 6 in the socks and compared them against my feet and bought them. Tried them on just now and they fit! Sooooooooo anyone who takes a size 7 or 8 (I'm an 8), if you miss out on that size in the socks, the 6's fit good too!!
 
Bought a pair of brown jodhpurs they only had one pair in small :( and a pair of yard boots which, even if I don't get any use out of them now I will in winter as they are fleece lined! Part of me wishes I had bought some socks now.
 
Thanks for reminding me, I've just nipped in and got a pink exercise sheet and breast-strap. I can recommend the Aldi walking socks, which were also there at £2.99, they are very good winter socks. Sometimes they also sell them labelled "fishing socks".
Another useful thing - if you look at the childrens' garden tools on sale you can buy a kiddie sized rake for £1.99, these work much better for poo scooping than the strange contraption they sell as sets with the buckets with handles on. For £1.99, give it a try, I think you'll be impressed.
 
I got the pink hi viz exercise sheet and the pink reflective breast plate and I'm really impressed. I might go back tomorrow for them both in yellow too. I tried them on BH tonight thinking they'd be rubbish quality and not fit right but I was wrong on both counts! Can't believe how cheap they are either.

My Aldi had loads left (apart from yard boots and socks) so if anyone is looking for something because theirs has run out and wants to paypal me I'm happy to go and rummage for them and post :)

What size jods do you all think I'd need. I'm a size 12-14 but more a 14 if that makes sense. 14 is a little big,12 a little small. The beige ones look like a useful second pair for shows for the sake of £13
 
Jesstickle- Im a 12 and the medium size jodhs are a little baggy on me

My mum randomly turned up with some jods and a t shirt for me today haha was impressed wiht them for the price
 
I picked up some socks and jods but the jods are too big. I went to another store and they didnt have any brown medium jods. Im going back to get the boots though.

Jessstickle - would you mind looking for some brown medium jods for me too please?
