We believe that:

  • choosing the right technical performance wear is critical to your horse riding enjoyment
  • we should provide you with impartial, educative information so you can make an informed choice with your equestrian purchases
  • we must bring you, most stylish products we can find at a price that's right you

Our story began in 2004 when we started our outdoor sports equipment retailing journey selling sailing and watersports clothing from our office and warehouse in Shoeburyness, in South East England.

After successfully sending more than 1,000,000 orders worldwide, worth in excess of £60m, in 2018 we decided to help the horse riding community with the same passion, commitment and drive.

Our customers have left thousands of independent reviews about us on Trustpilot. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to contact us by email or telephone!

Receiving your order

When will my order be dispatched?

We aim to dispatch all orders on the same day if the order is received before 4pm on a normal working day.

If your UK order is under £99 you can still receive your products on the next business day (if ordered before 16:00 on a normal business day) for a small charge.

Free delivery for UK orders takes between 3-5 business days to arrive, although in general the majority of our customers are pleasantly surprised to receive their orders very quickly (within 2 to 3 days).

If you experience any issues with your delivery, please contact us within 2 weeks of your order dispatch date.

Do you offer next-day delivery?

Yes. A next-day delivery option is available for orders placed before 4pm and is free of charge for UK orders over £99. If your order is less than that, you can view full details of our delivery options and costs.

Warranty Claims

How do I make a warranty claim?

The Drillshed offer a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects. If you have experienced a problem due to a manufacturing fault within this period, we are happy to act on your behalf and contact the brand to initiate a claim. To do this, please send an email to help@thedrillshed.com explaining the fault in detail and include photographs clearly showing the fault. Photographs are essential when making a warranty claim.

All warranty claims must be handled in the country the item was originally shipped to. In the event an item needs to be returned to the original country to process a warranty claim, the customer will be responsible for any extra shipping charges incurred.

If you have purchased a product with an extended warranty, the extension is offered by the brand and not The Drillshed. If you experience a problem with a product outside of the 12-month warranty offered by The Drillshed, you will need to contact the brand to initiate a claim.

Our warranty policy does not apply to items that have been purchased for use in commercial, rental, teaching or instructional program or activities.

Do you price match?

Yes. We check our prices every day to ensure they're the most competitive in the market.

  • We cannot match a price if the product is already part of a promotional offer.

We reserve the right to decline a price match for any reason.

Do I need to return free gifts?

"Gift with purchase" promotions are available only while stocks last. If you return an order where you have benefited from a gift with purchase promotion, you must also return the free gift. If not returned, we will deduct the retail value from your refund.
