Brilliant! Have ordered from here a number of times and always satisfied with the goods. Great service, really good selection and fast delivery. One of the best online equine stores I have found.

Good value

My new jodphur boots arrived quickly. Good value for leather uppers. Sturdy boots in a nice dark brown. Accurate fit for foot size. Nice round toe. Happy with product and service.

THEE 👌 BEST

The most wonderful company to deal with. Actual people behind a successful online company. Will always come back to you if ever you have a query. Do their utmost to keep their prices competitive. Love their sales and rely heavily on them having a few horses. I wouldn't use anyone else now. Love Hope Valley Equestrian. Simply the best.

Still Hopeless Valley

Fine if you have no issues.
I bought an item that was not fit for purpose, it broke when I was using it. Had only had it for a few days, took it back with my receipt to get a refund, to be told that it would be sent to head office for them to then ask the manufacturer for a refund. I waited 7 days and several phone calls later I finally got my refund. My contact of sale was with Hope Valley and a refund should have been given immediately. They seem to have made up their own consumer laws and are not allowed to use common sense to give a straight forward refund. I work in retail and find this bizarre to say the least.

Hi Sophie,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback.
We are sorry to hear that you are unhappy with the service provided in this situation.

If the damage to the item has occurred during use we do reserve the right to contact our manufacturer to investigate this and also to request a repair or replacement - if the item was faulty upon receiving it, we can provide an immediate refund, however the laws are different when a fault occurs when using the product.

I have spoken to our returns team regarding this particular issue and the damage to the Rag Fork was quite unusual and so we did have to contact the manufacturer for advice before we were able to provide a refund or replacement.

I can see that the fork was returned to our store on the 5th June and our returns team contacted you to advise we could provide a refund for you on the 9th June. We were awaiting your card details to be able to process this for you, which was then completed on the 13th June.

Once again we do apologise that you do not feel the service on this occasion was satisfactory, however our returns team have acted within our rights and resolved this issue as quickly as possible.

We do hope this doesn't put you off ordering from us in the future and hope we can provide a better experience for you next time!

Many thanks,
HVS Customer Service

Regular visits to Conglfeford store-…

Regular visits to Conglfeford store- prices frequently different to the marked up price - often charged wrong. Online order, paid for next day delivery on the Monday…. Not dispatched until Thursday after chasing for the dispatch- having paid for shipping. Now being delivered 1 day late. REFUSED TO REFUND SHIPPING FEE AS ONLY A DAY LATE??? I give up with this company - they have been a pain every time we have visited.
Although the products are good quality, the management and operation of this business is substandard

Hi Chris,

Thanks for taking the time to leave us this feedback.
We can only apologise for the pricing issues you have experienced in our Congleton store. Our dedicated team does their best to keep all items up to date with any price changes that have been made, however with the store being incredibly busy at times we do sometimes make mistakes. All pricing issues are dealt with and rectified as soon as we are made aware of them, we can only apologise that this has affected your shopping experience with us.

With regards to the issue with delivery times, we do not actually offer next day delivery due to keeping stock in multiple locations - this is not something we can always guarantee unfortunately.

The £4.99 shipping fee is for our 24 hour courier service which is fully tracked and insured, should anything go wrong with the delivery. We do ask to please allow a few days to allow for picking & shipping, this is stated on the "Delivery" page on our website:

"Mainland UK - Maximum of £4.99
Delivery is usually made by Next Day Courier and must be signed for. If your parcel cannot be delivered within 2 attempts, redelivery charges may apply. Please allow 3-5 working days for dispatch and then delivery. In the unlikely event your order could be delayed any longer than this for any reason, we will contact you by e-mail or phone as soon as we can. If you require this parcel for a particular deadline, it is always worth contacting us once the order is placed and we will endeavour to do what we can to assist with this, but not guaranteed."

If you wish to discuss this with us further please do get in touch either via phone on 01298 605400, or email at customerservice@hopevalleysaddlery.co.uk - one of our team will be more than happy to speak to you about this.

Once again we are sorry for these experiences and for any inconvenience caused by this.

Many thanks

Great communication and customer…

Great communication and customer service thankyou.
My initial enquiry was if they would be able to deliver by Royal Mail and it was great that I could choose that option just by sending an email after I placed my order. It was communicated that I needed to wait for delivery of one of the items but the main delivery arrived quickly with Royal Mail. Thank you so much

On-line ordering SO efficient

I've recently made two on-line orders for fly rugs which haven't been available anywhere else. First one arrived 2 days after ordering - second one ordered last night and today I received acknowledgement and confirmation goods had been sent! It'll ..probably arrive tomorrow - and I'm on the Isle of Wight. Sale goods are tremendous value too. SO efficient!I

Placed an order with several online equestrian clothing providers and Hope Valley were first to send my order, I received their order before all others, good value products and great customer service when I returned one item and the return was acknowledged within a couple of days of leaving my hands! Thank you
I’m still waiting for some clothing from another online company, placed at the same time as Hope Valley and I’ve received and part returned my HP order before the other company have even sent my order

Not good!

Not good! Spent just shy of £300 with them! One item wasn't at all the same as the picture advertised, and they sent the wrong boots, I returned them over a week ago now have emailed numerous times asking when I'm going to get my refund, I either get ignored or get told its not arrived with them yet! I will most definitely not be shopping with them again! Currently out of pocket awaiting a refund.

Hi Jasmine,

Thank you for leaving your feedback.
We are ever so sorry you were sent an incorrect item! I have looked into this and can see a free postage label was sent to you so could return these to us free of charge.
Unfortunately we didn't actually receive the returned parcel until the 11th May and a refund was processed for you straight away upon receiving.
Once again we are ever so sorry that you were sent the wrong item but we are glad to see this has all been resolved now. We do hope that this doesn't put you off shopping with us in the future!

Many thanks,
HVS

Un requested Marketing email

I have not had issues with the purchase of my product, but many months later I have received marketing email with no unsubscribe link-a breach of GDPR regulations. This is pretty simple straight forward business practice that all companies selling on IT platforms should be adhering to. So sick of the constant emails from every purchase you make online. It had the reverse effect on me, I just won’t come back. The email was about leaving a review on a site, the hyperlink didn’t even work.
Update: the email was also sent to a web service provider called citrus lime who provide POScloud based services for online equestrian retailers. The email was personally addressed. My mail provider have produced feedback that the email sent was not from a hacker so not sure about your explanation that it was a phishing email?

Good afternoon,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback.
We are ever so sorry for this issue. We have been investigating this with our website developers who have advised that this is a 'Phishing' email - this is evident from the lack of 'unsubscribe' button.
Please be advised that this email is not sent from ourselves or is connected to us as a retailer, or our website developers. We have been advised that this is essentially a scam email in which scammers will try to obtain personal information from customers.
We would recommend clearing your cookies and cache data to avoid this happening again as it can be linked to the customer's email provider.

Once again we do apologise for this email being sent and hope this doesn't put you off ordering from us again in the future.

Many thanks

Really friendly and helpful

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone at Hope valley saddlery at Buxton, especially Amy who was so helpful. Took me three attemps to get the right fitting boots for my Granddaughter, ( not Hope valleys fault ) everyone there was so patient and helpful with me, and my Granddaughter is so pleased with her lovely riding boots, thank you all ☺
