Favorite UK tack shop that carries Charles Owen?

[skipollo]

I’ve tried searching, but all of the threads are older so I was hoping to get updated experiences from folks who have ordered from a UK store they really like? I’m looking for vendors that carry Charles Owen, particularly the SP8. Equiflair carries it but is very low in stock and doesn’t have my size. I already checked Hope Valley and they don’t carry the SP8 at all.

The prices in the UK are so much cheaper than in the US, even with international shipping, so any recommendations are much appreciated. The place I bought my AYR8 from many years ago is not open anymore

Just ask whoever you usually order from to order the right size for you. Hypostore has them at what looks like a good price but many sizes are out of stock - they do follow through and get you your stuff if it becomes available too, and shipping g is fee on the whole order if you order one item that’s listed as free shipping (probably why I have so many Kentucky saddle pads…)

Oh wow I didn’t know you could do that, good idea. I did already email Equiflair to see when they’ll be back in stock because I’ve had a really good experience with them previously, so once they reply I’ll see if they can get my size in. It’s a little more work but worth it, the price is like HALF of what I’d pay from a US vendor

idk if they have exactly what you’re looking for, but I’ve always ordered Mountain Horse boots and CO helmets from the drillshed in the UK - SO much cheaper than US prices.

Oh good to know, I’ve never heard of them. They only have the sparkle one and not in my size, but that’s good to know for buying other things. Thanks.
