The Benefits of Consignment Equestrian Clothing and Tack

If you’re an equestrian, you know the sport is equal parts passion and investment. Between barn fees, horse care, and competition costs, expenses add up quickly — often before you even set foot in the stirrup. 

That’s exactly why we created Tack and Tweed.

Our mission is simple: to provide high-quality equestrian apparel and gear at accessible prices for our riding community. Consignment isn’t just a way to shop smarter — it’s a way to keep great items in circulation, reduce waste, and help riders get more value from the gear they already own.

 

1. Save Big Without Sacrificing Quality

Equestrian gear is an investment. A good pair of breeches, a well-fitted bridle, or a sleek show jacket can cost hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars brand new. Consignment shops offer gently used, or sometimes even new-with-tags, items at a fraction of the retail price. Most of our consignment pieces come from top brands like Samshield, Equiline, Tailored Sportsman or Butet, just waiting for a new rider to claim them.

2. Sustainability That Feels Good

Horses have a way of grounding us in nature — so it only makes sense to let that mindset guide how we shop, too. Buying consignment keeps perfectly good clothing and tack out of landfills and reduces the demand for new production. You get beautifully made clothing and tack without the environmental hoofprint of buying new.

Elegant style. Smart shopping. A lighter impact.

3. Unique Finds for Standout Style

Equestrian fashion has its classics, but consignment shopping often turns up one-of-a-kind pieces you won’t find in a catalog. Luxury show shirts, discontinued colors, or custom tack sets can add a little personality to your ride. Plus, with the money you save, you might even grab an extra pair of boots or a fun accessory to mix things up. 

4. Try Before You Commit

New to the sport or unsure about committing to a specific discipline? Consignment lets you test the waters without diving into full-priced gear. If it’s not your thing, you can pass it along guilt-free—no massive investment lost.

5. Support the Equestrian Community

Consignment isn’t just about buying; it’s a cycle. When you shop at a consignment store (or sell your own gear through one), you’re supporting fellow riders. Those barely worn boots, outgrown pair of breeches you pick up might have come from someone local, and your purchase helps keep the community thriving. Each purchase supports a small, passion-driven equestrian businesses that exist for the love of the horse.

Tips for Shopping Consignment Like a Pro

Final Thoughts

Consignment equestrian clothing and tack offer a practical, eco-friendly, and community-driven way to stay equipped for the barn or the show ring. You’ll save money, score unique finds, and feel good about your choices—all while keeping your focus where it belongs: on the ride. So next time you need a new pair of gloves or a replacement girth, skip the big-box retailer and shop our online equestrian resale platform.

Your horse may not notice — but your wallet definitely will.
