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.

Poor customer service

I ordered 2 pairs of winter riding leggings which it advised me to order a size up so I did. I am size 10/12 usually order M in this make so ordered a large. They came back and we’re still too small. I emailed them and got no answer for 4 days then phoned them to be told I had to pay for return as they did not fit but they did not fit because I was advised by them to order the wrong size ! Very poor customer service. Will not use again

Hi Susan,

Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback, I am very sorry to hear that you are disappointed with our service on this occasion.

With regards to you not receiving a response to your email, I am very sorry about this - our customer service team clears their email inbox each day so I am unsure why you did not receive a response on this occasion.

We have had lots of customer feedback to advise that these riding tights come up a bit on the smaller side, hence us adding this into the product description. The majority of customers, along with our own staff, have found the next size up to be suitable for them so I can only apologise that this was not the case for yourself.

It does state on the 'Returns' page on our website that free returns labels are only provided in the case of an item being faulty or damaged upon arrival, or if the incorrect item has mistakenly been sent to you. Issues with sizing or if the item is simply unsuitable is at the customers cost to return I'm afraid.

Again I am sorry to hear that you are disappointed in your experience with us.

Many thanks - HVS Customer Service

Excellent customer service

I ordered three items recently: two headcollars and an Amigo jersey cooler. The headcollars arrived very promptly, and I was notified that the Amigo cooler wasn't in stock (it was marked as in stock when I ordered it.). One of the headcollars was the wrong size (my fault, not theirs). I was given a post free label for the return - picked up from our home next day by Royal Mail. Exchange on its way within two days. That is brilliant.
It is unusual these days to be able to speak to a person easily. She was very helpful, acted promptly and followed up with emails.
Despite the delay on the cooler, which will be delivered to me shortly, my experience of dealing with Hope Valley has been very good. Their products are good and well priced.
Thank you Hope Valley.

Really prompt customer service and…

Really prompt customer service and great communication - I had to return some riding boots that didn't fit, they were refunded immediately with no questions asked and the communication via email was great! To be fair the boots were literally tried on in the house, repackaged and returned so I had stuck to my side of the bargain, and Hope Valley had stuck to theirs.

Fantastic customer service

Ordered a Mountain Horse coat (absolute bargain so that’s the first positive), then super quick despatched but unfortunately had issues with the courier. The team at Hope Valley were so quick at responding, super helpful, friendly and we got it sorted quickly. Have to say it’s the best customer service I’ve experienced from anywhere in a while!

Great customer service

I was a bit worried about placing an order after seeing the 1* reviews but this was the only place with final stock of the discontinued boots I wanted. My experience was fantastic. They arrived within a couple of days but there was damage to the leather on the toe of one boot. I got through to customer services easily, they were lovely, just asked me to email a photo so they could confirm the damage. I sent it straight away, got a reply straight back with a free post label for the return. I ordered a replacement which also arrived in a couple of days.

I was worried that my parcel wouldn’t arrive in time as my niece is getting surprised with her loan pony ( now officially hers!) and the lovely lady who went above and beyond to get this shipped out for me was amazing and I’m very grateful! I think her name was Eve!
What an asset to her team she is!❤️
Thank you again.

Quality shoes at a quality price

I ordered Ariat Vale rough leather shoes. These arrived quickly and they are so comfortable and such a quality shoe. I had been searching for a natural coloured flat shoe for winter after having damaged my ankle in an accident. I’ve ordered from others and had to return. Not these, these are awesome, I am so glad I came across Hope Valley in my search. Definitely a company I will keep an eye on. Customer service is also awesome

Exceptional customer service

Exceptional customer service. Order arrived the following day, unfortunately the boots didn't fit so I had to return them but the refund was immediate, literally the day after id posted them back. The accompanying email was friendly and personal. What more could you ask for?! Would definitely use Hope Valley again and highly recommend them.

Huge shout out to Evë for going above and beyond when they didn't have one of my order items in stock.
I have a very sensitive skinned TB mare who needs soft fluffy over reach boots and Evë went and found some for us.
Thank you so so much. Really appreciate all your help, especially on a Saturday.
This is why I shop with Hope Valley, I've been a customer for many years.
Always have been fantastic for customer service.
Thank you again Evë!
As usual, one very happy customer. Here's to many more happy years shopping with you. Xx

Brilliant hat fitting

Thank you so much for sorting out a Charles Owen hat for my daughter after been told at another retail store that nowhere would have a hat to fit her head. She wore it for 3 long days at pony club camp and it is perfect! Both George and Jo went above and beyond and were so helpful and patient. Thanks again. Excellent service!
