I don't no most of the choices but I have the Jefferies Hawk event saddle. It is fab I love it, if I could afford it I would get all of my horses one. I've had mine 16yrs and its still going strong.

I have an Ideal Event saddle, got it for xmas and I love love love it- soooo comfy and secure.
The only bridle I have had from new in the past 3years is my Jeffries, and it has aged incredibly well.
Girths- Im a thorowgood gal.
Stable rugs- We have Mark Todds at Bekka's yard and I think they are very hard wearing, Daisy has had hers for 4years and its still in mint condition.

Out of those I have only used the ideal event, but really liked.
MT bridles are really nice - v.good quality!
Stubben girth (I have one that is 7yo and still in mint condition, and I never clean it!!!)
Rugs is a bit trickier. If your horse is quite chunky go Fal, if finer go Mark Todd!

Ideal saddle
Jefferies bridle
Amergio girth
And both Fal rugs

Ideal saddles are fab, prefer Albion now, hence why I have a 17" m-mw Ideal event that needs a new home

GFS - love these saddles. I had a Falcon event; got rid as really wasn't good enough for eventing in my opinion. I replaced it with a Stubben MF - fantastic saddle.

GFS - love the leather they use.

Stubben - longevity is amazing.

Fal - they're the best!

Fal - they're the best!

amgerio girth...... personal thing havent used any of them but most like the look of the amgerio ones

Ideal saddle - Quite comfy, although found GFS saddle SUPER DUPER comfy!

GFS Saddle - VERY VERY comfy, sadly doesnt fit my TB though

GFS Bridle - Nice and soft, mine still looks brand new

Fal Godolphin - Fabulous rug. Bought mine years and years ago but still looks great

Stubben Chaffless - do you mean the string/cord girth they do? Ive got one and its excellent, brilliant for sweaty horses or hot days!

Ideal saddle - haven't actually ridden in the event saddle but the working hunter saddle is lovely
Jefferies bridle - really nice bridles made with lovely leather, lasted 4 years and still cleans up good as new
Haven't used any of those girths but i have a jefferies atherstone girth which is fab
Both fal rugs - great rugs and fit nicely, fit chunkier horses well, rambo rugs are also good

 

[Marbs]

Would say either the Ideal saddle, as I loved my Ideal saddle, or the GFS Pro Event - having ridden in it, it seemed like a wonderful saddle! Very comfy too. Have to say I dislike the Bates Caprilli GP with a passion. Albion bridles as they're very good quality (and smart!)

Said both fal rugs as I'm a big fal fan - last very well and have always found them to be a good fit.

QQ.

In regards to the Ideal Event; Does it have sufficient knee rolls?
