Forelock & Fringe

What's in the box: A seasonal mix of 5 to 7 items such as rider clothing, horse wear, grooming brushes, care products, horse treats, homeware and snacks, plus a polework or gridwork exercise sheet.

Forelock & Fringe is a UK subscription box that sends products for both horse and rider every month. Each box holds 5 to 7 items. The company says every box is personalised so sizes fit properly, and you can update sizes and preferences before each renewal. Plans start from £52 per month, and the boxes are described as worth £70 or more. New subscribers are currently offered a free bonus box worth £65+ with their first subscription, subject to terms. The range is broad: rider clothing, horse wear, grooming brushes, lotions and potions, horse treats, homeware, snacks for you and equestrian accessories. Items are chosen to suit the time of year. Members also get monthly polework or gridwork exercise sheets to keep in a ring binder, which is useful for riders who school at home. Flexibility is the main selling point. You can skip or cancel at any time, and if something does not fit, the company offers free exchanges. Members also get exclusive discounts and extras, though the site does not say what these are. The downside is that you do not pick individual items. You set preferences, but each box is still a surprise, and riders who already own plenty of kit may get things they do not need. The stated value is based on the company's own estimates.
