[appdream]

If you can get to the store, they have 50% off in the Closeout Room.

Lots of Ovation bridles, paddock boots, breaches and coats.

[GettingBack]

Wow, I got some GREAT deals - picked up a new pair of breeches and two riding vests I had had my eye on - plus a new helmet!

Good catch - thank you!

[CoolMeadows]

Pure evil! My 10 year old Ariat talls are looking rough these days so a new pair of Ariat Heritage boots, Ariat Curry jacket, Harry Hall Rotterdam jacket and a pair of Tuff Rider longjohns = $97!! Awesome sale for peeps like me who hate the cold, thanks. :)

[myrna]

looks like they don't ship to canada

[Defying Logic]

$70 dollar Ovation paddock boots for $15- don't need yet and wasn't looking for, but boots don't go bad sitting around while I wear out my current pair
$70 dollar shipping boots for $30- I was kind of looking for these, but the ones I have are fine...
$60 dollar Lettia pad for $10- just added because shipping was 9 and this put me into free shipping, but still.

I got $200 dollars worth of stuff for $54 with free shipping.

[ChocoMare]

YAY! Snagged a pair of the Millstone Barnstormer boots for $20 and a GAWJUS Ariat Vest for $15. What a deal!!! :D

[seabreeze]

I'm always glad to help others spend money on their horse habit...misery loves company!! :lol:

[talkofthetown]

I am SO going shopping later! You enabler you....:lol:

[ChocoMare]

The Queen Enabler knights you with her royal Mont Blanc pen. Arise Princess Enabler Seabreeze. :lol: :lol: :lol:

[MajMeadowMorgans]

Whoohoo! Got a pair of breeches and a pair of long johns...29.00! Thanks!

[lcw579]

Wish those Field Boots weren't all talls. :( Maybe I should just brave the cold and drive out there and try them on. Anybody know how much it costs to get them cut down?

[vxf111]

Please, please, someone buy all those Harry Hall breeches and gingham ribbon trim pony saddle pads. I am going to vomit if I have to see them in the sale room for another year. ;)

I am guessing Joe Q., the boot guy on Route 30 would charge about $50 to cut down boots, maybe a bit more. I don't know if someone else could be cheaper.

[BigHorseLittleHorse]

Last time I went to Heritage (a few weeks ago), they had a ton of Ariats in the closeout room, at 30% off and more. Mostly clogs and sandals, but some paddock boots and tall boots too.

[CanTango1]

Oh geez I have to stop getting so excited about great deals !! I just bought the Ariat field boots, does anyone know if they are zipper ?? I sure hope so, Im a dope !!!

[Sudi's Girl]

So I just got an Ariat Vest, Paddock boots, a t-shirt and 6 wormers for $52! WOW!! :) Thanks for "enabling!" hehehe

Although I've now sworn of shopping for quite a few months as I just dropped $200 at my tack shop yesterday. :(

[joiedevie99]

My guess would be that those are not zippers since it doesnt' mention it.

[hollyhorse2000]

I just bought a bridle!!

[lcw579]

Oh geez I have to stop getting so excited about great deals !! I just bought the Ariat field boots, does anyone know if they are zipper ?? I sure hope so, Im a dope !!!

No zippers. I just talked to them at the store. They said they run a bit narrow but I still bought a pair that will definitely be too tall and probably too wide! But, hey, they were a bargain! :lol:

[seabreeze]

The Queen Enabler knights you with her royal Mont Blanc pen. Arise Princess Enabler Seabreeze. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I am so honored! I pledge to enable with all the zeal and enthusiasm of Your Royal Highness!

I just bought a bridle!!

I noticed the Exselle bridles were only 49.99...so cool! Now those are the kinds of deals I like!

[Ambrey]

I sincerely wish I needed something- I considered getting a Masta blanket, but don't even really need that!

If they'd had dress boots and a dressage coat I would have been all over it, though.

[Cupcake]

I just spent $67 @ Rick's! Thanks for pointing out the sale :)

I got 3 saddle pads (not like I need more :), 2 halters, 2 lead ropes, and some ivermectin.

And it was free shipping, yay!

[Ted the Peep 'Ho]

I placed an order - and called them (to ask about an item) and told them about the thread, they were thrilled - so seabreeze, maybe you'll get a discount coupon thank you?

[tullyleague]

Field boots, long underwear, polos, wormer and...(something else, can't remember)..for $52!! Sweet. :)

[Sudi's Girl]

I placed an order - and called them (to ask about an item) and told them about the thread, they were thrilled - so seabreeze, maybe you'll get a discount coupon thank you?

Ted, does your mom know you've been shopping and flirting with tack shoppers? Or does she give you an allowance of some sort??... :D

[DressageGeek "Ribbon Ho"]

Ted, does your mom know you've been shopping and flirting with tack shoppers? Or does she give you an allowance of some sort??... :D

MOM!!! GET OFF MY LOG IN!!!

She is supposed to be at work. Sheesh. I am going to have to have a talk with her.

If it were me, I would have bought the likit stuff, not some saddle pads!!!

See? How do you like it when I use YOUR log in??

[talkofthetown]

No zippers. I just talked to them at the store. They said they run a bit narrow but I still bought a pair that will definitely be too tall and probably too wide! But, hey, they were a bargain! :lol:

:lol: You sound just like me.

[cowgirljenn]

Thanks for posting this. I just went and spent my Christmas money on tall boots, paddock boots, de-wormer and other stuff. I REALLY wanted a bridle but don't need one...

I love sales!

[rizzodm]

Thankyou thankyou:D I have been in desperate need of breeches and the money to buy them! Picked up some ariat breeches for 14.99.

Dawn

[jward72182]

Awesome find, thank you for posting!

I just spent $60ish on nothing I needed, but it felt good! :winkgrin: Two jackets, two vests, one lead rope and the microfiber pad.

I'm super bummed the only Ariat field boots are tall. I could have used a back up pair but alas, I'm 5'3" and haven't ever bought anything "tall" except for stuff for my horses :)

[tikidoc]

Ariat tall boots, 3 saddle pads, the Barnstormer boots, a kid's fleece shirt, and some long underwear. $118. Wow.

Anybody have the barnstormer boots? They looked nice but I could not find anything online about them. I figured for $20, they are a deal regardless. Are they the riding type athletic shoe with the stiff sole, or just "around the barn" boots?

[tikidoc]

Bummer, I just talked to them and they said they have not updated the website and they don't know, but I probably didn't get the Ariats. They said they are sold out of a bunch of things. I guess we just have to wait and see if we get order confirmations.

[appdream]

Ambrey, give the store a call. They always have items in the closeout room that are not listed on the site.

I bought three Masta blankets, a pair of Ovation paddock boots, the Barnstormer boots, a pair of Davis bell boots, two boxes of Leaning Tree Christmas cards and a dosing syringe for $202.00.

If you are on their mailing list, you got a coupon for an extra $5.00 off.

The Barnstormer boots are for around the barn. They have a thicker sole then I care to ride in. I bought them to wear to work on those snowy days and they have kept my feet warm and dry this week. Good traction too.

[Runinonjoy]

So I'm thinking about the Ovation sport paddock boots... anyone know if they fit pretty true to size?

[appdream]

I think the Ovation paddock boots I bought have some extra room for my toes. Nothing that a heavier pair of socks won't cure.

[Green Acres]

Does anyone know about the Exselle bridles? Are they decent quality? Could I show locals with it? If so which color is darker??? See the below link...

http://www.heritagesaddlery.com/proddetail.asp?prod=Exselle

I'm full of questions tonight!!!:lol:

[redkat]

Oh, ya'll...I DO wear a tall in Ariats, and they have my size for $49.99. Ariats fit my feet very well, but I'm sort of picky about boots and like their models w/ the cobalt innards in paddock boots...

What's the scoop on the Heritage? (Although I'm so sure I should ask questions, for that price?)

Edited to say: Whatever. I bought them.

[tikidoc]

Redkat, good luck. They told me most were already out of stock. I am hoping they will be able to fill my order but I'm not too hopeful...

[redkat]

Redkat, good luck. They told me most were already out of stock. I am hoping they will be able to fill my order but I'm not too hopeful...

We'll see. It'd be nice, but I won't die without them.

That's what I get for not surfing COTH at work! I miss out on deals. :D

[Frog]

I'm getting ready to buy a bridle for the horse I don't have. I haven't ridden in a couple months, either. Does my phantom horse need a bit? I've never owned full seat breeches... do I need those too? Hm....

[DressageGeek "Ribbon Ho"]

Yes. You do. Because they are SUCH A GREAT PRICE!!!

[Appsolute]

hum, I am also tempted by the exselle bridle $199 to $49 sounds like a good deal, and I do want to get my youngster a new bridle to play in.

But, I am trying to be frugal, and I do have a bridle I can use... and I would like to get her a padded one, but double raised does sound neat..

So... should I get it it? I don't know! I have put it in my basket and taken it out twice now!!

[M.K.Smith]

Thanks... I think... :lol: I just spent some money... but those blanket deals were really sweet... and free shipping... and I have two horses without blankets and one with a ripped blanket, so now everybody will have blankets when it gets down to frigid temps...

I wasn't quite sure if this was more of a medium weight or more of a heavyweight... I usually don't blanket most of my guys unless it gets really cold (like under 20F or with a bad wind chill-- about the coldest we get is a temp of 0F and windchill of -10F) If anybody is familiar do you think it would be warm enough?

[Sulta]

The Exselle bridles are decent - i bought one a couple years ago and it has held up well - being used 4-5 times a week during that time. We got the darker colored one, and after oiling, it a dark brown color.

However, the other bridle they have listed, is a padded bridle, with fancy stitching - this is a really nice one! The girl at the store told me it was a Union Hill one - a friend had bought one a year ago, and its really nice! It's got a detachable flash nose band. There is a small leather loop that goes around the nose band that the flash attaches to. The loop is buttoned on, so it completely removes and you have just a standard nose band.

So, either way, you can't go wrong with either one of these, both are good deals. And I'd say you could use either one for a show bridle.

Thanks for the info. Decisions, decisions!!!:lol: The horse in question is a dark bay (looks black) TB. How does fancy stiched look on a horse with a smaller head? Does anyone know how the full sizes run on the Exselle or the other (Union Hill) bridles? My guy's head is small but a cob doesn't see to fit him in the browband.

[Green Acres]

I called and spoke to a very nice lady about the bridles on sale. She was very helpful describing the bridles to me and she thought the Exselle bridle would be better for a hunter. So I ordered one and an Ariat vest for $65!

I just hope the bridle fits my boy as he's kind of between a cobb and a horse size. If it fits, then I will have to find a Exselle martingale.

[ThisTooShallPass]

Need to get my order in ASAP.

Anyone know how the Ovation Sport Paddock boots & the Millstone Barnstormer Boots fit? True to size, or narrow, wide, short, too long?

TIA :)

www.heritagesaddlery.com

I tried to resist it.... but couldn't. I got 2 Ariat vests, 2 Ariat Boucle button sweaters, a pair of denim Ariat breeches, and a pair of the Ovation paddock boots, for 78.00!!! and a Breyer's Baby's First Christmas ornament, even though it's past Christmas, it was my neice's first Christmas!
so Thank you, and Thanks to Chocomare, for also telling me how wonderful the sale was, since they actaully had more sizes to choose from than just 24r!!

[Nski32]

thanks.... A LOT!! now im spending money! :lol:

awesome sale though, cant resist!

anyone know how the ariat vests fit?

[Nski32]

i got $307 worth of stuff for $87!

whats this about "they will be contacting me about my order". do they always do that?

[amastrike]

My order was over $50... Rick's only charged me $14.99.... I'm thinking the only thing I got was the paddock boots :no: . On the bright side, the paddock boots were the only thing that I actually needed.

[Runinonjoy]

i got $307 worth of stuff for $87!

whats this about "they will be contacting me about my order". do they always do that?

I don't know, I was wondering the same thing. I haven't heard anything else from them since I placed my order. Anyone know??

[aspenlucas]

Wow...I read the first post and then went on and bout 63.00 worth of stuff and then read the post that I may not be getting all that I ordered. That is pretty discouraging that their website isn't up to date with their live inventory. As maybe I would have purchased other things instead. :(

[Nski32]

you all got me nervous now, I hope I get what I ordered.

With a sale like that they really should keep things updated.

[ThisTooShallPass]

About $245 retail for just under $60. I am okay with that. :cool:

[ChocoMare]

The Barnstormer boots are for around the barn. They have a thicker sole then I care to ride in. I bought them to wear to work on those snowy days and they have kept my feet warm and dry this week. Good traction too.

Oh that's good to hear. I bought 'em just cuz of the amazing price figuring I can always use boots somewhere! I prefer to keep my Terrains for riding in. This way I can use the Barnstormers just for work purposes. Really glad about the "warm and dry" feature. My toes usually freeze in anything but Brit Muckboots.

[Carolinadreamin']

Ordered two days ago and still haven't gotten an e-mail confirmation. Anyone else heard anything?

[lcw579]

I got my confirmation right away when I ordered. Did you check your spam folder?

[Bryarpatch]

I got my confirmation email within 10 minutes. I agree that you may check your spam folder.

[aspenlucas]

I got the email, we will be in contact with you about your order. I'm in the same state, it's 1:50 PM on Monday, no email nor a debit to my debit card. Still waiting to see what I actually got! Feels almost like an auction now!

I've always gotten an email like that from them when I've ordered something. However, the next contact I received was the order itself on my back doorstep. They've always been reliable when I've ordered from them in the past.

[Nski32]

Well I checked the status of my order online, and it said "processing order", so I am hoping I got everything I ordered!

I bought my GPA from them, but I talked to them over the phone, so their way of online ordering is new to me.

[Liberty]

I placed my order on 1/15, and it arrived today. :)

[tullyleague]

Well I checked the status of my order online, and it said "processing order", so I am hoping I got everything I ordered!



That's what mine says. They've only charged $17 to my debit card so far. :(

[appychik]

Well, my order should be here on the 22nd. Just got the tracking information yesterday. :D Can't wait. Gringo's getting a new sheet!

[Nski32]

I just want to know what the heck I got, and didnt get. I dont know if they have debited anything or not- I used my moms card.

This is annoying me :mad:. I havent heard anything from them since the e-mail yesterday when I ordered.

[appdream]

I bought the Masta Turnouts, too. I wasn't sure how warm they would be. Got them home an put one on right away.

I was very pleased with them. Very nice blankets, fit well, heavy outer shell and enough fill. Kept my girl warm last week when the nights were 0 degrees.

I was waiting for a good deal on blankets.

[ThisTooShallPass]

Today they are trying to process Saturday's orders. If you ordered Sunday, expect it to be a couple more days wait before they send you their other notice about your specific order. They were overwhelmed with orders & sold out on a lot of items, so are trying to get the items in from their other stores.

[ChocoMare]

Just got my shipment. Wow.... the Ariat Performance Pebble Vest is GAWJUS.... a 50 dollar vest for 13 bucks. What a deal!

Alas, the Millstone boots are toooo narrow. No biggie, I'll just sell them on Bits and Barter! :)

[lcw579]

I got my boots today. When they said they were "tall" they really meant it! :lol: What was I thinking? Blinded by a good deal, I guess. It's a little hard to tell if they really fit since they are about 3" taller than my knees!

I guess I'll go to the boot guy and see if it is worth cutting them down.

[tikidoc]

lcw579, what size did you get? If they are 8 fulls, I'll take them off your hands. I checked and my card went through for $50 less than my order, so I'm sure I didn't get my boots...

[Frog]

I also wonder what I got! My card was charged 99 instead of 167 (that's the price of one of everything, apparently...). And I have a tracking number. Maybe I'll see what it is when it gets here! And that doesn't include my Sunday evening order...

[lcw579]

lcw579, what size did you get? If they are 8 fulls, I'll take them off your hands. I checked and my card went through for $50 less than my order, so I'm sure I didn't get my boots...

As a matter of fact they are. I have a feeling that cutting them down will not be an option so let me know if you don't get your boots when your package arrives.

[aspenlucas]

That's what mine says. They've only charged $17 to my debit card so far. :(

Hey I got that email "we are processing your order" but no charge on my debit and I ordered Sunday.

[talkofthetown]

I've always gotten an email like that from them when I've ordered something. However, the next contact I received was the order itself on my back doorstep. They've always been reliable when I've ordered from them in the past.

Good to know, I was wondering the same thing.

[MajMeadowMorgans]

I ordered on the 15th ish and got my order yesterday. Lovely HH breeches for my daughter (when she gets a little bigger, lol) and TuffRider longjohns for myself. :D

[dalpal]

Their site is worth bookmarking.....they are one of the few stores who have true clearance prices.....Unlike Dressage Extensions, who's Super Closeouts are about 10.00 off. :mad:

I will window shop at Rick's regularly because they always have good deals. I have about three equestrian sites that I can count on to find TRUE clearance sales.

[Ambrey]

What are the other two?

I agree with Dressage Connections closeouts!

[dalpal]

What are the other two?

I agree with Dressage Connections closeouts!

The two that I keep bookmarked and browse periodically for good deals are

www.thetackroominc.com I'm wearing a Grand Prix Mirval Jacket right now that I got for 27.00 there (regularly 90.00), I've bought MANY items there for under 30.00 including an Irideon Thermal Pullover, an Alma Vest (that thing is the warmest piece of clothing I own), Irideon Thermal leggings, to name a few. They are the nicest people....they will call you immediately if there is any problem with the order.

I also keep an eye on The Hitching Post tack shop (google that one for the exact address)

The Cheshire Horse often has good deals

And so does

www.123tack.com

[Nski32]

I got my tracking number today and I ordered Sunday. I dont know what I got or didnt get.

Shouldnt they contact me if I cant have something I ordered? Or have they just been not charging people and sending the packages on their way?

:confused:

[Frog]

I saw that my stuff was out for delivery today... and I was eager to get home and see what was here and what wasn't. Before I got home, I got a very nice email telling me that they had been overwhelmed, etc. They had personally written out what was coming (it didn't look like a spreadsheet had been copied and pasted, is what I mean). I didn't really expect the whole order to be filled, with everyone shopping at those prices. I was missing a halter, lead rope (ok, I don't have a horse anyway so I don't have any trouble catching him) and breeches. I received 2 pairs of boots, some breeches, and my Exselle fancy stitched bridle which is BEAUTIFUL. I can't stop touching it. If anyone has any pointers on what to do with a brand new bridle, as far as care, please let me know. And it would look great on a dark bay bombproof beauty so if you live in the Richmond, VA area, I'd *ahem* love to let him wear my bridle while I ride him. Hope everyone gets what they want! I ordered again on Sunday but I don't have my hopes up about that getting filled.

[2Horse]

I got an email today stating what I am getting and what I'm not. I'm getting the paddock and barnstormer boots. But not the denim breeches and belt. I really need the boots, so that is a good thing. I could'a used the breeches too, but oh well. The prices make up for it!:D

[Carolinadreamin']

I placed my order on the 16th. Just today (5 days later) I received an e-mail telling me due to being overwhelmed with orders, I would only be receiving 1 item out of the 3 that I ordered - too late to cancel my order since it arrived today. Ended up paying more in shipping than the one thing that I did get.

I wish they would have notified me before the order went out as I would have cancelled it. Also, the other items that I ordered (but did not receive) were still listed as in-stock on the website yesterday. Oh well.

Me too! just today did I recieve notification - only I'm not recieving ANYTHING :(

[cowgirljenn]

I got my first shipment today - a pair of the Ovation paddock boots and Ariat denim riding pants. The pants make me feel fat - it is officially time for a diet. :) The Ovation boots are fine ... I had ordered a pair of tall boots and they ran out. I'm really, really disappointed as I wanted those for riding around here.. Oh well!

I still love me a good sale. :)

[Sudi's Girl]

I got my first shipment in yesterday!
Thought the Ovation Paddock boots and Ariat Vest were a FANTASTIC deal! Wow.

[Frog]

Ahh! None of my Sunday order was filled (it was one of everything that I didn't get the first time...). But I still love the stuff that I got. My Ariat denim breeches don't really fit either. Maybe in another month or so but even then I doubt they will be flattering. Luckily I didn't need them anyway. I can't wait to use the Exselle bridle on someone's horse!

[everyequine]

well, I just got my email... I am not getting anything... :( oh well, at those prices it really was first come, first served.
The email I received was very polite, personal, and sincerely apologetic. I would gladly buy from them again, as I have in the past. :yes:

[aspenlucas]

Just got home to my order. Two pairs of Paddock Boots, zip and lace, I think the zip are more comfy which is funny as I HATED zips before! I got a Lettia pad, a purple halter for my daughter's horse and a pink pair of polos for my daughter's horse. My total was 52.95 and I got over $250 retail of stuff! I didn't get the breyer soaps X2, thought those would be neat to do with Taylor, oh well and didn't get the leads but got an email that they were sending the leads from another warehouse? Not sure why they would do that on 2 2.99 leads, but we'll see!

[talkofthetown]

No paddock boots or shipping boots for me:( Just a polo shirt. Which is still cool, I like the shirt, but it sucks because I *needed* the other stuff. I wonder if they'll try to charge me for shipping now, since my one item doesn't top $50?

[amastrike]

The Lettia L7 Pad is really nice.. I almost would have paid retail price ($50) for it! If I'd know it was going to be such a quality pad, I would have bought more than one.

[myrna]

I have heard nothing,oh well.

[petesperson]

I got half my order - paddock boots and denim breeches. Both fit well (I knew I needed to go up a size in breeches and was honest with myself for a change when ordering!)... I didn't get the vest or the saddle pad, but I didn't actually need those. The halved order came to only $30, but they still gave me free shipping... I feel like I hit the jackpot!

[3Dogs]

I got half my order too - but half is better than nothing so I am happy. Only those of you who got the Barnstormer boots - I HATE you :lol:

[redkat]

No boots for me. :( Oh well.

I can keep looking. The chase is part of the fun!

[Green Acres]

I received the Exselle bridle yesterday but the Ariat vest I added to my order to get over $50 was not in stock. It doesn't appear they charged me for shipping but I haven't checked my credit card yet.

I sure hope the bridle fits my guy...I will try it tomorrow.
