What brand loyalties do you carry in the horse world?

Question

What brands do you trust for your horse, be it grooming, tack, blankets, barn equipment, riding apparel, etc...

Me:

--Ariat

--Pessoa/CWD

--Effol

--Eskadron

--Weatherbeeta

--Mattes

and much more...

Answer 1

Me, I don't have too many brand loyalties.

Stetson

Resistol

Wrangler

Cinch

Durango boots

Montana Silversmith(quite a few buckles made from them)

One thing I used to have a real brand loyalty too was Gator ropes.

Not so much cuz they where good, we used to stea....er huh... acquire the little foam rubber gators and collect them when at the tack store, and hang them off of our belt loops and hat bands and other fashion mistakes. haha

Answer 2

Mountain horse

shires

Rhinegold ( rugs that actually fit my horse !)

Carr Day and Martin for lots of stuff

Not much else - I tend to shop around

Answer 3

Ariat for sure

Stubben and Pessoa for tack

SSG for gloves of course

Bronco for fly spray-you just cannot beat it

Absorbine for other things (such as sheen, hoof coating, etc)

Oster for grooming tools

Answer 4

Stubben--tack

Weatherbeeta--blankets

Absorbine--grooming/general care items

Ariat--boots

Other than that I'm not too picky.  Although I have found that you get what you pay for so I usually don't buy the very cheapest option for anything, I try to go middle-of-the-road or even high end (when I can afford it).

Answer 5

I don't have brand loyalties anymore. I used to when I "ran with the big guys" and had to have the "names" just like everyone I showed against. The Harry Halls, the Pytchley's, the Hermes, the $$! Nowadays I look for the best deal on the best product, and if something better comes along I'll use it.
