Rockingham Horse Trials finally has the sun and all the top competitors are out jumping today for the final day of the show.  We welcomed customers on to the stand and showed off our tack trolley and accessories. People are still amazed with the stability, versatility and quality of our product. We had many competitors wheel off a trolley across the mud and puddles (from Friday's down poor) to their beautiful horse boxes.

We proudly attended Badminton Horse Trials 2017 both with our trade stand and in the stables! The two saddle customised tack trolley In action at Badminton Horse Trials How super to have been behind the scenes with Gemma Tattersall (www.gemmatattersall.com) after her amazing cross country phase at Badminton this year. The legendary cross country course certainly caused many thrills and spills on Saturday and Gemma was brilliant as ever. We were very excited to be sent these pictures of the trolley working hard (but not as much as the grooms!) in the Stables. We were thrilled she had a clear show jumping phase leaving the pair on a score of 60.2 which was valiantly deserved. Best of luck for the next show.  

Horse & Hound sent us their fantastic review of Stable & Barn's beloved tack trolley. Never did we dream our products would end up in such a prestigious horsey mag. We posted our tack trolley off to a long standing Horse & Hound reviewer, Polly Portwin. Polly is a former senior master with the Bicester and is now the hunting editor for Horse & Hound since 2013. For 3 months the trolley was put through its paces at the yard, out hunting and all the bits in between. We received 10/10 for Fit, 10/10 for performance, 8/10 for style and 8/10 for value for money. "It was evident from the start that this was a quality product. Every part seemed robust and unsurprisingly fairly utilitarian which is what is required for an item likely to be pushed about on uneven ground or covered in mud throughout the winter.... The tack trolley instantly became one of those pieces of kit you rely upon. It was ideal for loading up with everything that was needed when getting horses ready for hunting. Verdict : Overall, this is definitely a product that I would highly recommend." http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/reviews/stable-and-yard/stable-and-barn-tack-trolley?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social#kuFt2BEMlbiOdcm2.99 The tack trolley has done us proud and continues to work everyday for Polly in her yard and hunts twice weekly.
