I know Decathlon do riding gear which I expect is pretty reasonable.

hmm no body protectors though....

You need to be measured for a back protector and have it fitted otherwise it's pointless and won't give correct protection. Try trackright in boloney w Sussex!

Ps DD's pony always needs riding if your feeling brave!!

£85 wow!! In my day we didn't wear them!! Off to horsey place in Cuckfield on Thursday for some shopping just got some jodphurs on ebay for £10!! I'm only doing an hour a week so need to keep it cheap! I know I'll get into it again but want to learn skills now properly. I can ride did cross country and stuff in my time but have no skills!! I'll ride your daughter pony Booh but I think I'd be too heavy!! They were talking about riding on the right diagonal and I was like WTF just point and go right????? Never really done much school work so its good to get that right. I've no fear of jumping and bombing around on hacks but want to put some finesse into my skills!!

I got to canter on my first go after 20 years so well impressed by myself! Think I still have my hat in the loft it would be very very old though and probably unsafe I guess!
