I've posted a few questions to help me get a feel for the market i'm targeting, if anyone could please post their responses that would be much appreciated, there are only a few so shouldn't take too long, and you'd seriously be helping me out!

Hi, for me my horses come first and I come a very, very last lol.. so if and when I have any spare money it is what I need and not what I want and I shop around for bargains, the only thing I do not buy on a bargain for my self is my riding hat (I love my just togs!) and my thermal wellies and my riding boots....
