One thing I used to have a real brand loyalty too was Gator ropes.
Not so much cuz they where good, we used to stea….er huh… acquire the little foam rubber gators and collect them when at the tack store, and hang them off of our belt loops and hat bands and other fashion mistakes. haha

I don’t have brand loyalties anymore. I used to when I "ran with the big guys" and had to have the "names" just like everyone I showed against. The Harry Halls, the Pytchley’s, the Hermes, the $$! Nowadays I look for the best deal on the best product, and if something better comes along I’ll use it.

Ariat–boots
Other than that I’m not too picky. Although I have found that you get what you pay for so I usually don’t buy the very cheapest option for anything, I try to go middle-of-the-road or even high end (when I can afford it).
References :
Weatherbeeta for rugs
Mountain Horse and Ariat for boots
Fylde, Ideal, Derby House and Jeffries for tack (usually in that order!)
Other things I don’t have a lot of loyalty… I tend to direct my loyalty to shops, not brands – aside from rugs, boots and tack!
