The History of Robinsons Equestrian
In 1867, James Robinson founder of what we now know as Robinsons Equestrian started a small saddlery company in Wigan. At this time, horses were pivotal to the North west with horses providing most of the power in transport etc. Horse riding as a hobby or sport was only enjoyed by the elite and most affluent people for many years.
By the 1960's, Robinsons was owned by James Robinsons grandson, Jim. Jim decided to retire in the 70's and with no one to pass the company onto, Robinsons was sold to a local riding instructor name Jim Bentham.
During the 1970's horse riding as a sport experienced a boom thanks to Princess Anne and the popularity of Harvey Smith. With many new riders joining, Robinsons pioneered the launch of brighter coloured, more reasonable priced products and fashion items.
Over the years Robinsons grew through exposure at trade shows to become a larger country store, offering mail order through catalogue and launched their first online website in 1995.
Nowadays Robinsons offer online orders through their easy to use website and have various stores across the UK.

What about saddles?

Robinsons can kit you out with pretty much everything but the saddle. However, The Saddle Bank is the worlds most trusted online saddle retailer so if you are looking to purchase a saddle you can do so via The Saddle Bank.
