Horse & Hound’s first ever co-buy sold out in just 1hr and 10mins, with 20 lucky readers each buying the Fairfax Performance long dressage girth for a bargain price of just £140, saving a huge £100 on the normal price.
“I am delighted with the response to our first co-buy,” said H&H website editor Carol Phillips. “The innovative girth proved a popular choice among our readers and we have been inundated with requests for other girths in the range.”
H&H forum regular Katie Mortimore was delighted to be the lucky individual to receive her girth absolutely free. Katie referred more people into the co-buy than any other buyer, so she will be refunded the cost of the girth.
“I think the co-buying set up is a great idea and I’m not just saying that as I have got the girth free of charge!” said Katie. “The discount on the Fairfax girth went beyond what I expected.
“I’ll be keeping a firm eye on future offers as if the discount is as good as with the Fairfax girth, there are definitely some bargains to be had.”
