With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.
Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.
The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

How to fit a martingale stopThere’s no denying it, fitting a martingale stop is one of the trickiest tack related jobs there is. But there are some tricks to help you make it as easy as it can possibly be!Why do you need a martingale stop?The martingale stop prevents movement between the neck strap on the martingale and the strap that goes down onto the horse’s girth. By ensuring stability here, it allows the fit of the neck strap to be correct for the horse, and also helps the martingale to function correctly as all the parts are being held in the correct place.How do I fit a martingale stop?The first thing we advise is to get the martingale stop in some hot water. This will help to make the rubber it’s made from a little easier to manipulate so it can pass over the rings of the martingale and down the leather elements in an easier way. Don’t try and do this job in a rush, it does take time, but it is also important that it’s done properly.Can the martingale stop be adjusted?When it’s in place, the martingale stop can be pushed or pulled to get it in the right place, and it’s important that it’s moved around and fitted to the horse that’s wearing it. You won’t need to get the martingale stop warm for this kind of adjustment, although if it’s really cold and the rubber has become hard, it might be easier to at least make sure it’s at room temperature before you try!Don’t forget… the martingale stop should sit at an angle across the main strap of the martingale that goes down to the girth. If it’s straight, it’s not doing everything it needs to!
