Prepare your shopping wish list!

The Agria Royal International Horse Show isn’t just about top-class international showjumping and showing – there’s also a whole lot of SHOPPING to look forward to!

Make sure you arrive early to give yourself plenty of time to browse our tradestand village. Here’s a little taster of what you can look forward to:

If you’re looking for some new riding fashion or some more tack and equipment for the beloved equines in your life, then you won’t be disappointed. First off head to the Outlanda Apparel stand to check out the Hickstead Official Merchandise range – it’s situated next to the funnel leading into the International Arena. There’s loads of gorgeous clothing including hoodies, jackets, gilets and polos, plus some fabulous bags and accessories, and they come in some fabulous new colour ways for this season too.

Located just alongside the funnel to the International Arena is Agria Pet Insurance, the new sponsor of the Royal International Horse Show. Dogs are very welcome at the Agria stand with plenty of treats for four-legged visitors! Owners are invited to add photos of their horse to Agria’s interactive Horse of a Lifetime screen, work out their pet’s carbon footprint (and explore ideas to reduce it), while at the same time seeing Agria’s clever caricature artist at work. While at the stand, horse and dog owners can also learn more about Agria’s award-winning lifetime insurance for pets and horses. You can also pick up your very own Anton toy!

Others to check out include LeMieux – an essential for all the fans of matchy-matchy, plus Kentucky Horsewear by Just Equine, catering for all your horse and canine needs. A visit to Hickstead isn’t complete without calling into Joshua Jones - style and quality are just two words that come to mind.

If you’re looking to restock your supplements, the good news is Equine America will be on hand to discuss your horse’s health, performance and nutritional requirements.

There’s something for all budgets at Hickstead, from toys and gifts all the way up to large luxury purchases. If you’re looking for a new saddle, then head to Sederholm, Devoucoux, Voltaire Design and Mon Sellier to browse their ranges of saddlery and tack. For new stables, visit Newton & Frost where you’ll also find field shelters, carports and outdoor offices as well as their excellent range of stables.

If you’re in the market for a new horsebox, then we have a great range of manufacturers showcasing their range at Hickstead this week, including ICE Horseboxes, Oakley, Equi-trek, Lehel International, Equine Quality Horseboxes, Whittaker Coachbuilders, At A Canter, Bloomfields and STX UK.

Don't forget to pop by the range of charity stands including Mark Davies Injured Riders Fund, Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust and Sussex Cancer Fund – all very worthy causes. 

The team on the Breen Equestrian stand will be on hand to discuss their stallions and stud services, in addition to The Billy Stud, where you can find out more about their upcoming young horse auctions.

A big shout out to our official suppliers, including Avant Tecno UK Ltd. They return with their range of agile machines, and we simply couldn’t do without them! Kubota will also be back, who are our official tractor and utility vehicle suppliers.

Other exhibitors for this summer include Jay Kay Boutique, Espayo Equestrian and Moore Equestrian for luxury clothing.

There are also some very tempting street food stalls with something for all tastes. For those with a sweet tooth don’t miss visiting the Chocolate Fondue Company – with fresh strawberries, marshmallows and waffle coated in warm chocolate, and pure hot chocolate drinks.

Then once you’ve shopped until you drop, check out all the fun and games in the family funfair, with a hobby horse derby hosted by the British Horse Society, before heading to the grandstands and finding the best seats from which to watch some exciting equestrian action.
