10% Off Yard & Tack Room Products (online only, 11th – 17th March 2013) 11. March 2013 paul.bentham@robinsons-uk.com Miscellaneous (0) Spring is finally here! With the return of lighter evenings and (relatively) milder weather, we can be forgiven for feeling like woodland creatures at this time of year, as we blinkingly emerge from our hibernation-like winter state! The change of seasons brings with it new promise and a new sense of purpose. Competitive riders are especially motivated by the new 'season', although to them, the word 'season' is not necessarily applied to spring per se but the show season, event season, or any other competitive season, defined by their chosen discipline. Spring is also a time of opportunity for non-competitive riders, as the better conditions make hacking opportunities more frequent and longer. Let's face it; things are just more fun, however you want to ride, when it's not cold and dark most of the time! To help you get organised as you make the most of the new season's opportunities, we're offering 10% off our prices for Yard & Tack Room items sold online, all week! I suppose that when you think of Yard & Tack Room, the first image it conjures is of forks and shovels – they are, after all, the items you spend the most time with, when you're doing your jobs in and around the stables. Together with their natural companions, skips and collectors, after a winter of heavy use, perhaps your mucking out tools (possibly even including your wheelbarrow) are beginning to show signs of wear and tear and are ready for being replaced. More likely, you'll be considering ways to improve your 'stable environment' after a winter of frustration with certain aspects of the yard. Perhaps the time has come to address the way you store your equipment or update some of the necessary accessories that every yard needs to run smoothly and efficiently. At this time of year, many riders' horizons are set far beyond the confines of your stable yard. A new season (however you choose to define it) brings with it the opportunity to get out and about and if that means travelling to shows, events, farm rides or any other type of expedition, there's a whole wealth of things to prepare for. For example, in recent years, we've noticed that the folding wheelbarrow has become a hugely popular addition to a growing number of horseboxes all over the country! In addition to these savings on a wide variety of products, all products priced £1 or above will also earn you Rider Rewards, which can be used to pay for all or part of your future purchases – just make sure you use your site login to claim the points!
