afternoon,
bit off topic but my girlfriend has started riding again and needs some new gear. If anyone knows any places around West Yorkshire (or wider afield) that are decent and aren't very £££ then please let me know. Cant shop online as need to try on helmets etc.

Judging by some of the cars that you guys have you must have wives, daughters or mistress's that ride.

...obviously if she's busy riding it means I can spend more on my car!!

Cheers
Adam

If there is a Decathlon store near you, they do some excellent value horse riding kit. It's nothing designer, but well made, durable and most of all not stupidly priced.

I've bought stuff from there in the past for my OH and she rates it.

Slightly O/T if you're looking at back protectors, I'd consider looking at MTB gear rather than Horse stuff. MTB stuff is lighter and most of all allows greater body movement - they tend to have hard articulated spine protection, unlike horse stuff which is stiff foam.

Go outdoors at Horbury have a range of Horsey gear at what looks like decent prices.

My other half works at an equestrian clothing place... if you are interested and want a discount, let me know. I'll probably have to wash up or summat in return though! ha
