    depends if you want the £1.50 magic pimple palm gloves, or the £5 cotton pimple palm gloves, or the £20 crochet backed leather plamed gloves or the £50 posh leather showing gloves.

    are you actually wanting to ride, or just pose?

    if you're actually wanting to ride, i recommend the cotton ones for about a fiver. they last forever, and they're thin enough so you can actually feel the reins, but still padded in the places you don't want rubbed to high hell.

    if you just want to pose, then it's up to you.

    edited to add: you'll be able to pick up the cheap ones in a lot of bigger pet shops or sports shops. for the posher ones have a shufty through the yellow pages for riding equipment or saddlers.

    and try this site for mail order. muchos bargains to be had.

    yeh that above for the riding gloves and this below for the shoes;

    pointe shoes vary in cost. it depends what make, style, size, material yadda yadda you want, and of course where you get them from.

    you could get a reasonably decent pair for about £30 from any good dancewear store.
