😂 Luxury at Dover...not something I have ever thought.

[@caciliawhy5195]

I never thought of Dover as luxurious. Maybe they have added items, but I believe they started with cheaper items that they shipped to places that didn't have nice tack shops. Why don't you show the saddles?

[@TheNonMakeupGuru]

Because Matt isn’t the type to just slap any saddle on any horse

[@caciliawhy5195]

@@TheNonMakeupGuru wtf does that mean? I didn't say he should buy them. If you are showing a tack shop, saddles are a very important part of that. I love sitting on the saddles in a tack shop. I also am very particular I have a custom Schleese but that doesn't mean I don't like looking and sitting on them. (Head shake)

[@GPwithme]

My thoughts exactly. I get Dover brand because I can’t afford luxury lol.

[@karmen181]

When I was riding and having horses Dover was the discount catalog.. I lived in a pretty upscale town and their tack shop was pricey and very luxurious.. Matt come to Barrington IL to really see that kinda stuff

[@TheNonMakeupGuru]

@@caciliawhy5195 why waste your and the sales persons time jsut to sit in a saddle You have zero intention of buying

[@PaulaR-mp9di]

I lived in Libertyville, Illinois as an 11-13 year old. I believe the first Dover shop was there. They also had a showing complex on the property. I loved going into the store just to breath in the leather smell and only lived about 3 blocks away. I worked in a local riding stable to ride. It was the start of a lifelong horse obsession. This shop is about 10 times the size of the original!

[@annahalko-angemi]

Matt you are so young lol. I'm probably twice your age and when I was younger they didn't make boots with zippers normally. They were all pull-on (hence the boot-pulls). We used to wear nylons, not socks, as thin as could be and put powder in our boots to get them on. You would definitely need someone's help to get them off lol. Only custom boots were made with zippers, and only well-off kids could afford them, not your average kid.

[@nancykaminski8600]

Ah, the bad old days! And you had to have help to get the boots off at the end of a hot summer day of showing because your legs swelled and they were stuck. I remember one show where I ended up on the barn aisle floor with two friends pulling on my boot, and they almost fell over when it finally came off.

[@pinkpony1351]

Same here!! 😅

[@jennifergudmundson2277]

Didn’t the powder turn into paste mixed with the sweat From your feet during hot summers????

[@jennifergudmundson2277]

Very interesting. T.Y. For sharing a history lesson with US.❤❤

[@nancykaminski8600]

@@jennifergudmundson2277 no, the powder usually went from ankle to knee to help the boot slide on. I took to spraying my legs with Show Sheen-that silicon spray was slicker than talcum powder. Thank heaven I don’t show any more-now I just wear paddock boots with half chaps! So comfy!

[@EppyTheGram]

I can’t tell which surprises me more: My brother jump scaring me in the hall at 12:00 am, or the random SquareSpace ads. 😂 Lol, I love the video Matt! ❤

[@FormerlyknownasPonti]

Love your videos - thank you for all of the hard work you put into them!! Just my experience with thinner bits - my horse has a very low, meaty palate and a thick tongue. I had used a regular snaffle on him and he was NOT comfortable - throwing his head and constantly working his mouth even when no pressure was applied. After visits from both my vet and an equine dentist, we determined that my boy would be more comfortable with thinner snaffle since there is no room in his mouth for a thick one. He also has a flexible roller in the middle rather than a joint so that nothing is hitting the top of his mouth. He is much more comfortable with a thinner bit. That said, a thinner bit with heavy/hard hands is awful and some bit designs are horrific!!

[@Charbified]

Had the exact same with my boy. He's a typical cob, and has been going so much better in a thinner/lighter bit than his old one. He was in a single joint gag bit, and hated it. Now I have him with a full cheek with a lozenge and he's so much happier. No more head throwing.

[@epe-equestrianpatterneduca6184]

Hey Matt, not sure if you can do it during this trip but I think it would be amazing to see how some of the high end saddle makers in the US make their saddles. I am going to list a few brands but feel free to look for more too! (Blue Ribbon and Harris -> Western performance/pleasure saddles) For english saddles it would be really cool to see Voltaire saddles being made (QH people at the world shows are going crazy over them). OR boots and helmets? I think that being educated about the work that goes into our equipment is important.

[@HeyMySock]

Boot hooks! When I started riding you couldn't get boots with a zipper (could be because I was poor) you needed boot hooks! It's wild that they're the rotary phone of the horse world. :)

[@Dressagio]

[@susantobias33]

"Unique" regarding that patchy Western shirt, so polite!

[@profe3330]

I've never been to the Dover in Wellington, but I do love the one in New Hampshire - not so much because it's high end in some way, but just because they have EVERYTHING. (I think European stuff is actually nicer and more "luxurious" overall.) But yeah - American riding/horse wear really is getting LOUD! People used to blame the Eventers for this trend, but now it's basically everybody.

[@leshasta9652]

I love dover saddlery. I live one state away. We always took trips up to that store. It's the best in the north east us. 🎉

Super surprise to see Harriet!! Greetings from Germany! 🎉

[@dcrouch1980]

Zippers are new and a godsend, the muti-pattern long sleeve shirt is ugly and no one I know would wear it. Looks like you had fun and hopefully learned a lot about us US riders. Not a bad spend and the brown was nice.

[@lisawindemakernorris5454]

I remember when you stacked the saddle cloths on top of each other. There were piles everywhere. Please let us know how you liked the products. Thanks for taking us shopping.

[@SandraOrtmann1976]

What a fun video. Although I wish Matt and Harriet showed us even more items.

[@c_and_l]

Dover is a big chain, but it's ABSOLUTELY NOT HIGH END LMAO it's usually super cheap crap imo. Tackeria where you were before is way more high end, as is everything in Wellington in general. It's not normal US stuff.

[@onehandtyping958]

I had questions before this video and the previous videos, and now I am comfortable with my first instincts. Being in the rural Southern US, western tack and clothing and riding were the common appearance (and tacky) but I was put off by that. I’m no “cowboy” and I hate pointy boots and cowboy hats but I loved horses. I believe I would have been a comfortable fit if I had been raised in Europe. Now at 59, it’s too late for me.

[@juliederry3719]

Loved watching this video and the Tackeria video too Matt, so much beautiful equestrian goodies to look at, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧

[@MajkenNightpaw]

Oh Matt you have to come to the Land rover 3 day event in KY at the horse park. There is a lady there who makes engraved halters!! Lots of American equestrian items lol. :)

[@sarahsimon9761]

Absolutely loving y'alls adventures in American tack shops!

[@equine2020]

Dover use to be Miller's. Have shopped there for years. I go crazy shopping for the English tack & hunt clothes. My horses are well dressed, blankets, halters, wraps,etc.

[@raythegoth]

Loved this vlog! Matt if you want organisational advice for your saddle pad storage and general organisation message Tidy Tack Rooms here in the UK. She's actually my neighbour! She has done projects abroad before helping people to design their dream tack rooms. Honestly she's incredible, the way she sees things and her passion for organisation is so inspiring! She would be able to help you out :)

[@friesianridersh]

Love your videos, fun to see another horse guy out there! The halter of your dreams is Quillins from Paris Kentucky. The nicest nameplates ever and the Halters are second to none!

[@carissalizotte8977]

Quicksilver is the best! White/gray horse must!

[@jennifergudmundson2277]

MATT, PLEASE DO THIS FOR YOUR FANS/VIEWERS!!!!!!! Got your attention?? Beacause Of your beautiful olive skin tone and Dark hair - I too am blessed with both- we MUST see you wearing a RED top, T- shirt, dress shirt, what ever style you wish; very soon in one Of your vids. Better yet Jesse needs to also wear a red shirt. You would also be a knockout in Royal Blue…..a light lavender color would be Great to break you into wearing color. In the USA , a large portion Of men for many years now wear many schades Of purple and pink. With NO stigma’s attached. Just Great fashion sense IMHO.

[@jodysauer9040]

I so love your opening music for walking in Dover…. That is how I feel when I walk in Dover…. Ahhhhhhhhh. I shop at Dover in Parker, Colorado.

[@dcrouch1980]

Also our tack shops tend to be regional and breed oriented so if you showed stock breeds you might shop at Rod's, Dover or Stateline for hunters, etc. You will find a wide variety of different items in each of these shops.

[@jennyhoppe685]

Dover is my favorite store!! :)

Now drive 45 minutes north to State Line tack…. They were my favorite when I lived in New England (oooohhh you are in Florida! I was wondering how you were wearing such light clothing in Massachusetts springtime - notoriously bone chilling damp). Well, next time you are in to the Boston area, you can price compare Dover V State Line

The brand Walsh has halters wit a nameplate on it!
