How to Trial

We are so pleased to introduce a 10 day trial period on some of our products. Whether you’re a seasoned rider, or just starting out, this trial period is the perfect opportunity to try out some of our products and see for yourself if they are the best fit for you.

Please note: If you are looking to trial a horse bit from our Bit Bank, visit HERE for further information. The details below are for products such as bridles, stirrups & therapy products.

How the trial period works

1. Place your order for the item you wish to trial, make sure you choose the ‘hire’ item, and pay in full.
2. We will despatch your order to you, and your 10-day trial period starts from the day you receive your item.
3. You then have 10 days in total to trial the item and decide if you wish to keep it (or exchange it; either for your preferred colour, or for a non-hire item), or return it to us if it is not suitable.
4. If you wish to keep the item after the trial, and it is not an item that is physically marked ‘Hire’ or ‘Test’ (e.g. Flex-On stirrups), then you simply need to inform us that you are keeping it. If you require a different colour, or it is a designated trial item, then please return the item to us for an exchange.
5. If you are returning the item, either because it is not suitable, or because you require an exchange, then you will need to package it up and send it back to us – you can find our returns information here
6. If you are retuning for an exchange, then your new item will be despatched to you, or special-ordered for you if it is a custom item. There is no hire charge when items are kept or exchanged.
7. If you are returning the item for a refund, you will be refunded minus the hire fee of £25
