What the heck is going on with the weather?

This morning I was in shorts and now I'm huddling under blankets on the sofa about to put my winter duvet back on.

Have some neon ears to brighten things up :)

Apologies, this is a cheesey gratitude post.
I was in and out of A&E and then ‘normal’ hospital again for a few days last week and - now I’m getting better - I’m feeling overwhelmed with gratitude for friends and animals and to you wonderful lot for being so kind and patient with your orders.
I owe a few of you various items and will get them made as soon as possible. Hoping to get back to sewing tomorrow.
So, hug the ones you love and tell them how much they mean to you.
Big love
Jess

Lovely customer Pip sent in these photos of her out hacking in her pink Pretty Visible zip up top.
She said “Finally got myself organised and took a few selfies in my fab hi-viz zipped top. I love it. Just perfect for the cooler summer days that we’re having at the moment and numerous people that we have met when out and about have commented on how well we can be seen.
Everyone should have one of these fab tops!”
Thank you so much Pip!

This is possibly a post for the more seasoned riders amongst us (I started out in the 80s!!!).

I've seen quite a few nostalgia posts recently and wondered which - now discontinued or out of style - equestrian products you'd like to bring back and why.

For me it would be corduroy jodhpurs because they made me feel like part of the 'in' crowd when everyone else had them. And - for the horse - those flappy petal overreach boots. Only for the noise they made :)

A few did you knows in case you're new to Eqco.

🇬🇧 I think lots of people know they *should* be buying products from British brands but perhaps aren't really sure why.

Here are just some of many reasons:
✅ small British businesses have a significant impact on the economy - keeping money in the UK helps the country's economy grow and assists in maintaining and creating jobs and valuable, sometimes (definitely in the case of textiles) dying skills
✅ buying locally made products protects the environment by reducing carbon footprints - nothing from Eqco is flown or shipped in from abroad. You're also greatly reducing the risk of buying products made by factories with dubious environmental and employment practises e.g. putting chemicals in waterways and exploiting workers
✅ buying British means buying superior quality products made by skilled craftspeople who are paid a fair wage

Question for you...

If you were ordering a purple saddle cover with Union Jack embroidery, which two thread colours would you choose for the Union Jack?

I have other thread colours, too, but am assuming that these will be the most popular (gold, black, silver and white).

Of course don't forget about the funny face picture competition (see post from yesterday).

Thank you so much to Sal for getting this photo of Mel and me! It's such a rare treat to ride another horse and get a photo to boot!

Hi Everyone,

Happy Friday!

For those who've had quarter sheets from Eqco and either had help with measuring or done it themselves, I wondered if you had any ideas for how I can make the process easier for people? I know some folk still struggle with it so it would be fantastic to hear your thoughts.

Thank you in advance!

06/07/2023

🤣 Today I had SO much fun and SO many laughs going to see lovely customers Mel and Sal again. I'm so sorry I didn't make a cake but hope the energy balls came close. 🧁

👗 We had a blast dressing Mel's horse Burt and Sal's horse Pembs up in Eqco stuff and Sal even let me ride Pembs! Thank you so so much, Sal!

🐴 Both the boys are Cleveland Bays, which I think is a nice tie-in with the horses being a now rare British breed and Eqco being THE British equestrian brand :)

📹 Sal got a ton of videos of me and Mel riding together where you can see how much the hi-viz products help when you're riding along a dark, leafy lane. Watch this space for more!

👯‍♀️ We all know that there's a lot of bitchiness, criticism and back-chat in the horsey world and today was a wonderful reminder to me about the exceptional friendships we can also harvest through horses. People who stick by you through thick and thin, 'get' you more than anyone else can and who make you wet yourself laughing.

So here's a shoutout to all the horsey friends. Big love to you all and keep at it!

ps. if any one person, any duo or group of friends is within half an hour-ish of me in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire and would like to stock up on some discounted Eqco stuff in return for me getting photos (in Eqco stuff and just 'normal' clobber), drop me a line and let's make a plan!
pps. My mind is also racing thinking about doing some kind of themed/fancy-dress-ish photoshoot once every few weeks. Think: wimbledon-theme white quarter sheet with tennis skirt frilled edges 😆 What do you think? Any ideas?

One of today's makes: cute little mesh neck cover in pink with yellow binding and reflective strips.

Shopping link is https://www.eqco.co.uk/collections/neck-covers/products/mesh-hi-viz-neck-cover prices from £29.99 alllllll made in the UK, of COURSE.

I actually have something resembling a size chart for these, too, if you're a bit daunted about measuring up. There are fewer variances in measurements for the neck covers than quarter sheets, which I guess kind of makes sense.

🌂 I think this is the first rainy spell we've had where I've been able to post pictures of our waterproof riding skirts and quarter sheets.

🪡 These are available with a choice of linings to suit the temperature. At this time of year most people will go for mesh - the most lightweight option. The lightweight fabric variety (a lovely polycotton, of course purchased from a UK supplier), is the best option for year-round use.

🥶 As the weather cools down, people tend to opt for a single fleece layer lining.
And for those who - like me - run cold and maybe have reynaulds, a bit of arthritis or whatever makes them colder, the double layer fleece option will really help.

🛍️ We have lots of stock in various colours and sizes and lining options.
