This is a bit of a pointless post, but because I hate agendas and politics in posts I thought I would start my very own :)
I always buy my stuff for my cuddies locally so here is my honest opinion on them all
Geddes - buy my need right now stuff, always friendly and always (if I moan) gives me a price that I can match elsewhere. Has a great supply of impulse buy joules clothes and keeps a lot of supplements in stock. All my wheelbarrows came from there and they also did Premier Equine rugs at 10% less than the online price which if had blooming known before the gang were kitted out would have saved me a blooming fortune. They are fine and friendly to deal with and I would recommend.
CLB - not so great on the horse stuff to be honest, but distracted by all the nice, do not need, house stuff. Although again for headcollars and brushes etc they are reasonable - there rugs are ok but just not makes that I would buy. Again if there is a need it now then there is nowt wrong with them, staff are great and dont mind my child taking every tractor out and trashing the place - oh and now they have dubarry jackets in but I have been banned by OH, there clothes are great.
Hilltop Horses (aka Keep_on_trucking) - If you require a kitchen sink then just phone and ask I am sure she will get it for you :) A small, upcoming business, run by a mum with a young son trying to juggle life etc, so you might have to place your order and give her time to get her house in order - but for other mums (or dads) or in fact other busy people, she delivers to your door and shoots the breeze whilst at it. They are also very cheap and nothing is to much trouble. Yes I am friends with the proprietor but that all started with buying my food there, it is also grand when you want a bing of shavings as my car can carry two bales, whereas I can get a truck load which suits me. My ickle sick Paddy is now a happy boy with his mega cheap Rambo rug as she has now started supplying horseware for people and horses. Bulk buying, delivered they are cheapest and funnily enough I again recommend.
The main thing is that everyone in life has a choice and if you dont like your choice then vote with your feet, but dont be put of by mines or anyones elses guff or agendas :)
