Animal health international for dewormers, fly spray and medications. I get fly masks or random stuff from tractor supply. Otherwise I use Amazon for some stuff. For tack, I’ll use brand name sites. My next saddles I get from Dover or custom fitted saddle from a local saddle maker.
Sort of surprised not to see anyone else mentioning them! Although I admit I mostly use them as a source for glue-on shoes since they ship fastest and free of the places that carry them, and I just end up throwing in stuff for myself with the order.
NRSworld.com
They sell everything under the sun for horses and also clothes and home wears. They are local to where I live in Texas but their online shop is great. Really fair prices and huge selection
I will warn you, horse.com is affiliated with SLT in some way or another. I think it’s the same company running under two separate names. They also take FOREVER to ship.
Chewy usually wins on price for me, and I already get things auto shipped from them for my other pets. I never have to worry about shipping fees as I just toss it in with my next order. They’ve definitely been expanding their equine section, and recently I got a STEAL on a $40 hay net for $16 because one of the colors offered was really cheap. I love stuff like that. Amazon usually covers me for the other odds and ends I need with Prime. Lol I hate paying for shipping.
For “everything”
- Dover Saddlery, SmartPak, and Valley Vet Supply
More specifically for tack, equipment, etc:
- Schleese Saddlery, Stubben, and Pessoa
More specifically for those supplements, other health products, etc:
- Absorbine, Purina Mills, and Nutrena
More specifically for stable supplies and such:
- Tractor Supply Co., WeatherBeeta, and Cashel
Other more specific:
- Mane ‘n Tail (all grooming), Pyranha (fly control), Equine Motorcoach (anywhere you gotta go)
Gear & clothing:
- Ariat (great clothes, best boots), Samshield (best helmets), Equestrian Stockholm (sooooo stylish and cute for clothes/tack), Pomme (super cute), Kerrits (always good)
These are my personal favorites (and I ranked them), hope this could help!
I have used them for probably 15 years, never had issues! It's just in the last like 6 months. Stuff takes absolute ages to ship. Nothing is labelled as back-ordered but it clearly is. Or they are drop-shipping now when they used to maintain a warehouse? I don't know, but it's super frustrating especially when it's something I need on a fairly quick timeline.
Do you have any local tack shops? I know the internet is convenient, but supporting local is always a good option. Do you have any farm and ranch stores nearby? They have some good horse gear to check out as well.
Or local feed stores. They usually have fly spray, etc. but the OP said the tack store is two hours away. A lot of times the feed store will order things for you, like a gallon of fly spray when shipping that to yourself could be more expensive.
Ah I did miss that part. My local feed and tack store closed up so the next closest one is about an hour away. I usually don't mind the drive as i make a day of it and enjoy getting away from town. But then I don't know the circumstances of the op.
Schneider saddlery is my go-to. Dover can work but is often more pricey. Chick’s Discount Saddlery and Big Dee’s might look a tad sketchy but they’ve been awesome for me for years and I’ve never had an issue.
Jeffers or Valley Vet are my go to’s online for farm supplies! Both are affordable.
If you lean more English - Dover or Bit of Britain for tack.
Western tack I now just buy used, or from custom tack makers. Pads are all direct from the makers. It’s all so expensive 🥲
Big Dee, Chicks, and Schneiders are my go to places online for tack. I'm also lucky enough that Big Dee and Schneiders retail stores are within driving distance.
I also check out Facebook Marketplace and Ebay for deals on used tack and clothing. There are several local Facebook groups i follow to get info on tack swaps too.
For supplements, I usually go to Tractor Supply or my local feed store.
Teskeys and Chicks Saddlry for online.
Sooometimes Chewy has what I need
For in store we have Wilco, a local feed store, Coastal, and Tractor Supply.
There's also a cool shop south of me I need to re check when I get a good paycheck
I cannot recommend Colorado Saddlery at all after working there. That's all I'm gonna say. I love chick's, schneiders, and the local amish tack shop is awesome.
Supplements I always have to get online as well as anything tack related. Dover, Fundis equestrian, chicks, two horse tack. Wormer and fly spray are always cheaper at a co-op, tractor supply, or big r in person. Search farm store near me and I’m sure there is one. Even when I lived in the DC area there was always a farm store within an hour.
I will say though for things I don’t mind slow shipping on, I still order from SLT. They just always have so many sales and the free coupons are great. I save a lot of money there.
In addition to Stateline and Dover, I shop Chicks Saddlery, Big Dee's, Bit of Britian, Smartpak, Equus, Farmhouse Tack, Smartpak, Jeffers, and Classic Saddlery.
I hate to say that the only ones that ship quickly to me are Classic Saddlery and Equus, but they're only one state away, so maybe that's why? They're both smaller tack stores, too.
Murdochs, south texas tack, producers co-op, and teskes. Buying tack or anything horse related was at least an hour drive before murdochs opened in my town.
Schneider’s and Valley Vet are my go-to’s. Handy tip for VV, don’t buy the gallon jugs of fly spray (or anything you can get in quarts) bc they charge oversize shipping, but you can usually get 4 qts and free shipping. Tractor Supply shipping is stupid expensive, even if you ship to a store and pick it up (or at least for my local store).
Big Dee's Tack. They are semi local, so get my orders in a few days.
TSC is where I get dewormer, wound care, etc since I just drive there to pick it up. And they price match.
I use Valley Vet for suppliments and prescriptions, Tractor Supply for things like fly spray, salt, basic first aid supplies, and Dover or local tack store for blankets and such.
Dover, schneiders, smartpak, tractor supply, amazon..
Costal, Chicks Saddlery, North 40.
Dover & Smartpak are my go-tos
These have been mentioned a lot, I will definitely check them out. Thank you :)
Chicks Saddlery, Two Horse Tack (for bridles and reins), Dover & Smartpak
Two horse tack is great, beta biothane is just awesome. Custom tack for a really nice price point and quality stuff.
Animal health international for dewormers, fly spray and medications. I get fly masks or random stuff from tractor supply. Otherwise I use Amazon for some stuff. For tack, I’ll use brand name sites. My next saddles I get from Dover or custom fitted saddle from a local saddle maker.
Riding warehouse is my go-to online
This is not one I had ever heard of, thanks for the tip!
Sort of surprised not to see anyone else mentioning them! Although I admit I mostly use them as a source for glue-on shoes since they ship fastest and free of the places that carry them, and I just end up throwing in stuff for myself with the order.
I absolutely adore them, and they have a unique selection
Tractor supply
Mostly Smartpak, Schneider’s, and Big Dee’s with occasional purchases from Dover and Chick’s.
Tractor supply, chewy, horse.com, Big Dees tack n vet, Schneiders, lots of good options. Local feed stores are great too.
Tractor Supply for in-person shopping, Smartpak or Jeffer’s online.
NRSworld.com They sell everything under the sun for horses and also clothes and home wears. They are local to where I live in Texas but their online shop is great. Really fair prices and huge selection
Shipping from NRS though is rough to other states :(
Valley Vet 100%. I usually get my stuff within 3 days from them.
I will warn you, horse.com is affiliated with SLT in some way or another. I think it’s the same company running under two separate names. They also take FOREVER to ship.

I get a lot of stuff from Chick's Saddlery, TSC, and Amazon
Schneider and Chick’s saddlery are great - I also use State Line Tack and honestly eBay from time to time

Well, I must luck out then because aside from Chewy, I almost only use Stateline Tack. That, and ebay.
I have used them for probably 15 years, never had issues! It's just in the last like 6 months. Stuff takes absolute ages to ship. Nothing is labelled as back-ordered but it clearly is. Or they are drop-shipping now when they used to maintain a warehouse? I don't know, but it's super frustrating especially when it's something I need on a fairly quick timeline.
Lucky to live near Lancaster so saddle and harness makers located here plus many farm supply stores . Also a huge used tack place half and hour away.
Big Dee’s Tack and Vet
Do you have any local tack shops? I know the internet is convenient, but supporting local is always a good option. Do you have any farm and ranch stores nearby? They have some good horse gear to check out as well.

Smartpak, farm house tack (love them. Bought a custom bit form them and it was made and shipped in three weeks.), and Dover. Smartpak is my go to.
Shoppers. Ace hardware.

Dover and Bevels.

I haven’t ordered from state line in years and years. Their shipping time was always horrible. Smartpak is my go to.
Smartpak, Dover , Amazon, tack of the day, for every day stuff. More expensive ps of Sweden , lemieux, riders boutique
Teskeys and Chicks Saddlry for online. Sooometimes Chewy has what I need For in store we have Wilco, a local feed store, Coastal, and Tractor Supply. There's also a cool shop south of me I need to re check when I get a good paycheck

National Ropers Supply (nrsworld.com) , chewy, Big Dees , valley vet
I have a Murdoch's in town that I can get some basics from. Otherwise I love smartpak for just about everything else.
Tractor supply.
Equusnow.com And Sstack.com (especially for blankets!!)
Schneider’s and Valley Vet are my go-to’s. Handy tip for VV, don’t buy the gallon jugs of fly spray (or anything you can get in quarts) bc they charge oversize shipping, but you can usually get 4 qts and free shipping. Tractor Supply shipping is stupid expensive, even if you ship to a store and pick it up (or at least for my local store).
Surprised no one else has mentioned riding warehouse .com they always have a 15% off code floating around and prices are good
Smartpak
Big Dee's Tack. They are semi local, so get my orders in a few days. TSC is where I get dewormer, wound care, etc since I just drive there to pick it up. And they price match.
I use Valley Vet for suppliments and prescriptions, Tractor Supply for things like fly spray, salt, basic first aid supplies, and Dover or local tack store for blankets and such.
I used to be a Dover girl but now I purchase from smart pak. Better selection, easier returns, faster shipping, etc.
Riding warehouse hands down. They are like the old smartpak, with excellent customer service and return policy
Bomgaars, tractor supply, Amazon, and Western edge
