Long wait times & terrible customer service!
Order 17384- placed my order on the 4th August (15 working days ago) and no dispatch email. I’ve emailed twice as this appears to be the ONLY way to contact customer services however they do not reply! Terrible customer service and will not use them again. I need the item asap so if it’s not coming in the next couple of days I’d like a refund! Majority of company’s fulfil delivery within a couple of days nowadays so I’m unsure why this company takes weeks on end!! Ridiculous.

Paid for but goods never dispatched
I purchased an expensive item (PIVO) over 3 weeks ago, yet to receive it. My account shows it as being processed. I have now emailed 5 times, messaged via web twice, asked for callback. There is no response. They have my money. They will not refund me. Do not trust this company.

Hello Claire,
Thank you for reaching out to us, and I sincerely apologise for the delay in responding to your previous emails. We understand how frustrating this situation must be, especially given the urgency of your order.
Firstly, I want to assure you that a confirmation email was automatically sent when you placed your order on the 3rd of August. Sometimes, these emails can end up in spam or junk folders, so I would recommend checking there if you haven’t seen it in your inbox.
As stated both on our website and in the confirmation email, despatch can take up to 10 working days, with delivery typically taking 3-5 working days after despatch. I'm happy to inform you that your order was dispatched on the 7th working day, and it is scheduled for delivery tomorrow.
Once again, I apologise for the inconvenience, and thank you for your understanding and patience.
Kind regards,

Avoid!
Still waiting for a ragwort fork that hasn't even been dispatched according to both the website and the tracking app (that the website pushes you to download. I didn't actually want another app cluttering up my phone but wanted to know where my order was!)
I have a feeling that this company takes orders for stock that they don't have. AVOID!!!!!
If you do order from them, please use Paypal so you can get your money back easily. I don't think this company will be around for much longer.

Buyer beware
Ordered 2x lightweight rugs in May, Equus happy to take the money but never deliver the goods. More stories than JK Rowling,after waiting until the end of June with no sight of the rugs we asked for a refund. Guess what 1st August still no refund. Standard "we are sorry' email comes every couple of weeks with another sob story. Got my bank involved now. Buyer beware with this shambles, clearly in trouble.

Ordered 9th July
Ordered 9th July , a bridle and a rug. Rug arrived within a few days, bridle hasn't even been dispatched, I've emailed 6 times. Not 1 reply. Ordered reins to match on 15th they arrived 17th, however no good without the bridle. Why allow someone to order an item if it's clearly not in stock and not being transparent with issue or expected delivery date.

Poor customer service
My daughter, who is 14, ordered a riding crop with her own birthday money. The crop was broken when it arrived so she sent an email explaining what had happened with photographs, she heard nothing. I then filled out a form on their website and still we have had no reply. Even if they don’t want to refund or replace the item a simple acknowledgment or reply would be polite.

Hello,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and I apologise for the inconvenience your daughter has experienced. I am sorry to hear that the riding crop arrived broken and that your attempts to contact us have not been met with a response. This is not the level of service we strive to provide.
I have searched our records and found an order for a Shires whip under your name, but I cannot confirm if this is the correct order without additional details. Unfortunately, the email address used to place the order does not appear in our email system, which might explain why we haven't received your messages.
To resolve this matter as quickly as possible, could you please provide the order number or any additional details related to the purchase? This will help us verify the order and proceed with a refund or replacement.
We deeply regret the inconvenience caused and appreciate your patience. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve our service.
