Dover Saddlery

Hockessin, Delaware

Description

Dover Saddlery - Tack Shop & Equestrian StoreDover Saddlery on Yorklyn Road in Hockessin offers a solid selection of English riding gear and equestrian supplies with staff members who generally go above and beyond to help customers find what they need. The store is particularly praised for allowing customers to try on helmets and boots without pressure to purchase, and associates frequently help source items from other locations or arrange quick shipments to customers' homes. While most shoppers appreciate the friendly, knowledgeable staff (many of whom are riders themselves) and the dog-friendly atmosphere, experiences can vary with occasional mentions of limited inventory compared to years past and inconsistent customer service during busy times. The store offers military discounts, regular sales and tent events, and maintains a clean, organized shopping environment, though some find the aisles a bit cramped. Overall, it's a go-to destination for English riders seeking quality tack, apparel, and horse supplies with helpful product advisors who understand the sport.
