Question for you riders

I am thinking of getting back into riding (English). Where can I find used men's riding equipment eg. breeches and boots? Tried Craigslist- when I enter riding boots I get a long list of motor cycle riding boots!
Thanks, Peter.

May want to check E-bay, a friend found a good deal on a saddle and chaps.
Good luck

Do they sell used stuff? I really don't want to buy new only to find that I won't be continuing!

What type of boots are you calling "riding boots"?
I ride in denium jeans and "western cowboy" boots

Nobody, but nobody rides English, all by themselves.

You should be able to find someone who knows the local tack stores and can give you some advice.

Finding used riding gear is easy on ebay IF you are somewhat normal in build -I´m six foot four and weigh about 210lbs so I have a hard time finding used gear.

I was riding in Portugal last fall (Lucitano Morgado -great place, classic riding, teacher Rodrigo Da Masa -look it up) and the tack stores there were great! You can special order most things (handsown) for very nice prices.
