Do you shop online? Where? What's the advantage and disadavantage of shopping online What's the one item you and your horse absolutely cannot live without?

I'm not sure this will help since I'm over here in Germany but here goes.
Favorite Tack store...The Kennerstore in Bambeg. It's only big tack store in this area and has a good selection. There are s few smaller shops that tend to be limited in selection and very expensive. Here's the Kenner Store address: http://kenner.cowisshop.de/
What can't we live without? Hoof Boots it would seem. After the terrible experiance with Tamara's leg I turned to an alternative to replace Iron Shoes. We're just starting out with hoof boots so it's way too early to praise them. In fact, my first experiance wasn't very positive, but that was due more to my own ignorance than the product itself. I'll let you know in a few months how they work out. I plan on using them sparingly. Trying eventually go barefoot.
The third question would/could also be the hoof boots.
What's my pet peeve. Trying to find the correct size of anything for Tamara. In particular...fly hoods. She has such a huge head and "Warmblood XL"... is too small! They need to produce Tyrannosaurus Rex XXXL! Very frustrating. Also the fact that hoofboots are just catching on over here. There is only one distributer in Germany!
Ok, a helpful book. "Complete Training of Horse and Rider" by Alois Podhajsky. Must read for anyone who wants to understand the comunication between horse and rider!
What could I tell the industry? Always bear the safety of both the horse and rider in mind.
