"I love The Cheshire Horse. They always have what I am looking for. I’ve moved too far to go to the store so I do all my ordering online and it’s great! I get what I order within a couple days. I had one item I needed to return and they were great with helping me return it and refunded my money in the next day. Highly recommended whether it is in-store or online!"
"If I could give more stars I would -- absolutely outstanding service. Think I ordered over a weekend and within hours I was receiving a FedX confirmation and the package arrived on Monday even though I didn't expedite delivery. Thank you for being a family owned business that clearly prides itself on not only supply excellent product but service that rivals companies on a much larger scale. Wishing Cheshire Horse much success -- well deserved!!"
"I was so happy to find your website! You had an item that I couldn't find in stock at the stores I usually shop at. I happened upon your website while searching for that particular item- you not only had my item, but it was a fair price, AND free shipping! Everything arrived exactly as described and packaged carefully. I am more than pleased, and will definitely keep The Cheshire Horse in mind for future shopping."
"We love CheshireHorse.com. The selection and service is outstanding. And it helps to be able to pick up the phone to the physical location with additional questions. The company is wonderful and we truly appreciate having this resource for us and our horses right here in NH."
"Wow. Delivery was like the old days of 2019. On time, what I ordered and all sorts of confirmation emails. What a great company! And to top it off, they had the Back on Track item I was looking for! It was like time travel-to pre pandemic. Thank you!! I will definitely keep this company on my favorites and will buy from them again."
