Swap Riding Gear with Friends
Not everything has to be new – especially items that are rarely used, like raincoats, special riding helmets, or riding boots for an internship, can be swapped with friends or riding colleagues. This way, you save money and give equipment a second life.
Buy Secondhand: Vinted & Kleinanzeigen
I’ve personally found many like-new riding items on Vinted or Kleinanzeigen – cheaper and often in top condition. Basics like riding leggings and jackets are great bargains there.
Krämer Clearance Festival – Sample Items, B-Stock & Returns at Great Prices
Every Friday in Hockenheim, the Krämer Clearance Festival takes place. There you can get B-stock, sample items, or returns for half price or even cheaper. Perfect for brand fans on a budget!
Bonus Programs at Krämer & Loesdau
If you shop regularly, the Krämer customer card and Loesdau* frequent buyer program are worth it. Depending on your spending, you can get up to 10% off – in addition to sales or coupons.
Buy Brand Products During Sales
If there are certain brand items you really want, wait for sale periods like Black Friday, summer clearance, or special discount promotions. This way, you often get your favorite pieces at a much lower price.

Be Flexible with Travel Dates & Destinations
