Why buying second hand horse gear just makes sense!

April 2, 2025

Horse gear is expensive - but it doesn’t have to be. Discover how buying second hand makes horse riding more accessible, inclusive, and sustainable for riders in Sweden and beyond.

Second-hand riding outfit in action – a female rider wearing a show jacket and helmet during a jumping session. Discover how to build a complete equestrian outfit for under 1200 SEK using pre-loved gear from Floccs. Perfect for riders across all disciplines looking for sustainable, budget-friendly horse equipment.

Horse Riding is expensive, let’s change that!

Whether you’re a seasoned rider or just starting out, the cost of gear can feel overwhelming. In Sweden alone, we spend over 4.1 billion SEK every year on new equestrian gear. That kind of cost creates a real barrier, especially for newcomers who want to try the sport but don’t want to invest thousands right away.

At Floccs, we want to break down that barrier.

Shop pre-loved horse riding gear at unbeatable prices! Discover second-hand safety vests, saddles, saddle girth, helmets, ear bonnet, leg protectors and more – handpicked quality from Floccs’ sustainable marketplace.

Why new isn’t always necessary?

Let’s face it - there’s pressure in the riding world to always have the latest saddle pad or the trendiest breeches. But high quality gear is made to last, and it shouldn’t lose value after one ride. We are here to challenge the idea that “new is better.” We believe second hand should be just as stylish, functional, and celebrated.

Making riding more accessible and inclusive

Trying horse riding shouldn’t mean emptying your wallet. Second hand gear makes it easier for beginners and budget conscious riders to enter the sport and feel confident while doing so. It’s a win-win for your finances, the environment, and the riding community.

But isn’t buying second hand a hassle?  

That’s where Floccs changes the game!
