Western tack

Does anybody know of a western tack shop or one that sells a good range of it? Where you can actually go in and touch and feel the tack NOT order it through pictures from a catalogue 'cos the saddle that I got didn't end up looking like the saddle that I ordered. I thought it had a suede seat too so was a little disappointed about that too.

Terre et Eaux Cean has a full range, but if you ask in Decathlon they have a much hidden order book, ask to see it, it's where most of the tack shops in France get their supplies. My daughter knows the link to the suppliers, but they will not sell direct to you.

Thanks HB [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] where or what is Terre et Eaux Cean? 'cos I think I'd rather go there as I don't want to order from books anymore, 'once bitten' and all that [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Yes, that is a nice saddle Pen.

but I don't think I can justify to my husband buying another saddle when it's only the seat that I'm not too keen on. I love the saddle but just thought it was going to be a suede seat which I thought might just act like velcro therefore helping me to keep my butt in the correct place!

I have actually got the Ekkia catologue, picked it up yesterday from Legiret but haven't had chance to look at it yet. Think I will look into that Terre et Eaux sit, thanks HB

We should organise a shared trip, what we save on diesel, we could SPEND [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Hi

We ride western and - I understand your point about seeing things and this does not answer that- got our bridle from Westernscene [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]in England. It's a beautiful Reinsman leather bridle and wasn't one of the expensive ones. I think there is a french Reinsman stockist now but I forget their name. There is a good quality selection at West Road & Co, he's at quite a few western shows and has a website.

Good shoping!

Thanks Ripples slave, nice site. I'll have to look out for him at the shows then

Hi,

I'm glad you liked his site. We'd been looking for stirrups for ages and then saw him at Oakland a couple of years ago and bought some lovely ones from him. Since then I've looked at his site if we've needed anything- althought we ended up with a myler bit he had a good selection which we looked at carefully. I think he's at Guy Duponchel this year too. Western tack is soooo lovely!!!
