1. Check out online resale shops, specially made for horse stuff!
Note: I'm including these because I personally know people who have used them with success. There are other shops out there; if you try something new, let us know how it works!
Used Horse Stuff is a great option. Subscribe to get updates on new items that have arrived. They have a great selection of kids apparel. This is also a great place to sell.
