Best to get your hat expertly fitted though! Having had a horse kick my head I was very glad of my well fitting hat!

Totally agree a hat must be new and fitted,never buy second hand hats you never know if they have been dropped.

Plenty of boots on ebay - get your hat new if poss., Champion used to be quite reasonably priced.

Only problem with buying online is you cant get your hat or boots fitted. Boots arent so bad but personally i like to makesure they are comfy and fit properly. The hat must be fitted by a professional

I don't think it matters if you do spend a lot on a hat and boots, a hat especially as it is so important! Theres cheap riding boots in tescos believe it or not, but a hat, honestly make sure you get one that fits well and that is not second hand

hi

just want to say thank you all of you for your suggestions - i also spoke to our instructor and she suggested robinsons too.... i live really close to there so am going to go down this weekend and get the hat fitted properly then we can try on the boots to.

thanks again, susie
