Shopping in tack shops...

[Dingbat]

Have you tried Shires? I think they are pretty reasonable. If you can't find them in a tack shop maybe you can order online and return them if they don't fit? My boyfriend has a really nice pair I got from a horse trials last year - they're Mountain Horse and were mid-price I'd say. Sounds like a good excuse to go to Badminton?

I can recommend the Mark Todd range. Really reasonable and excellent quality. If you run a search on the internet I am sure you will find a stockist near you.

Yes try Tesco direct! Can't recommend them enough! If he really takes to it he can buy more expensive stuff then. They do a good range for men.
