One of the most common questions I get from avid shoppers is: โ€œWhich equestrian event has the most shops?โ€

If your idea of heaven is wandering through rows of gleaming tack, equestrian fashion, homewares, horse art, and every gadget you never knew you needed, then these events should be on your radar. From hoof picks to luxury horseboxes and even spa baths, these shows offer serious variety for every budget.
