I've googled, ebayed, yellow paged, you name it. I want to be able to go into a shop with DD, get her to try some stuff on (she's v. small for her age) but everything I see is for riding stables.
I need somewhere in the Herts/Beds/Bucks region. (pref SW Herts)

Try this

Quite reasonable. Not sure where exactly you are but there seems to quite a few around your sort of area. Got DD's boots and jodphurs from there.

I got a saddle on e-bay. It was a shop - so if you look around you'll find what you need. I will look around and see if I still have the name.

Tesco Superstores do some I think.

Tesco Brookfield farm Cheshunt have them instore, otherwise online. Very reasonable prices.DD's riding instructor recommended we get them from there.

Cheshunt is a bit of a hike from here, but there's another one a bit closer. Also, the riding school have recommended The Tack Haven in Kensworth. Am going to try there tomorrow, but will check out Tesco on line first, as a price comparison. She really needs to try stuff on, so can't order anything online.
Thanks all.

I have a pair of pink chaps going begging. for a skinny 8-10 year old.

try Decathlon for cheapness; alos try looking for a little place on a farm as they are often cheaper. My riding school recommended me somewhere.

Ooh, the Tesco stuff looks interesting - except all the girls' jodhpurs are out of stock!!
Think they might be cheaper than a specialist stockist, anyway.

Do we have UK Decathlons now? Always go when we're abroad, for cheapy sports stuff, be great if we could go here too.

Thanks everyone. Went to Tesco Extra this morning and got the whole lot, (including chaps, thanks robinpud!) very reasonably too. Would never have thought of going there.

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]
For a shocked face, , type [shock]
For an angry face, , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face, , type [blush]
For a sad face, , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face, , type [envy]
For a sceptical face, , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
