Second Round (Barrington, Illinois) - For the horse afficionado.

It's a mild, sunny winter afternoon and I decide to visit Second Round, a store in the tony suburb of Barrington, IL (where several horse properties abound). Second Round is a store that specializes in consignments of quality English tack and horseback riding apparel. There couldn't be a better second hand store of riding apparel and accessories to buy for your favorite horse.

Although most of the saddles are for dressage and English riding, there are a few Western saddles, priced between US$200-400, depending on the condition and size. Used junior saddles are about $200.

Below is the anatomy of a saddle (source: Wikipedia).


Visit Second Round at the Market Center Shops, 200 N. Hough St., Barrington, IL 60010. Tel. 847-304-8084.
