Local tips

  • Plan your visit for a weekday late morning or early afternoon if you prefer a quieter browsing experience than the typically busier Saturdays.
  • If you need bulky feed or bedding, arrive by car and let staff know in advance so they can help you load heavier bags efficiently.
  • Wear sturdy shoes; outdoor areas and access to the store may involve gravel, mud and uneven ground typical of a working riding centre.
  • Bring a basic list of your horse’s measurements and current equipment to make saddle fittings, rug sizing and bit choices easier.
  • Check opening days before you go, as the shop is typically closed on Sundays and Mondays and operates limited hours on Saturdays.

A countryside tack shop at the heart of horse country

McCabe's Riding, also known as McCabe's Tack & Feed, sits on Ny Tønningvej in Brædstrup, surrounded by fields, paddocks and the low silhouettes of rural Jutland stables. The store is integrated with Brædstrup Ridecenter, so you step directly into an active equestrian environment where horses are never far from view or earshot. The setting feels practical rather than polished: gravel underfoot, the scent of hay, and the low murmur of stable life in the background. Inside, the focus is firmly on function and durability. Long runs of shelving carry brushes, boots, buckets and barn hardware, while rails of breeches, jackets and gloves add a splash of colour to the otherwise utilitarian space. It is the kind of place where you can pick up everything needed for a first lesson or replenish the stores of a busy yard in one visit.

Everything from saddles to stable feed

The core of McCabe's is its mix of tack, rider clothing and feed. Saddles and bridles line the walls, ranging from everyday schooling gear to more specialised pieces for competition riders. You will spot well-known European equestrian brands alongside practical, budget-friendly options, with accessories like stirrups, girths, bits and martingales close at hand. Nearby racks hold helmets, protective vests and reflective gear, a reminder that safety is a serious concern when riding in Denmark’s changing weather and light. As a feed supplier, the shop also serves local stables and private owners with bags of pellets, muesli mixes, supplements and bedding. Stacked pallets and the earthy smell of grain lend the back of the store a warehouse feel. Staff are used to discussing everything from hoof condition to the needs of older horses, and the layout makes it easy to load heavier items directly into a car after paying at the small, straightforward counter.

Linked to a working riding centre

Because McCabe's is based at Brædstrup Ridecenter, it feels more like a living part of a horse community than a standalone shop. Riders in breeches come and go, picking up forgotten gloves before a lesson or grabbing a new lead rope between classes. On certain weekends, the wider grounds host shows and events, and the store becomes a convenient anchor where competitors and spectators duck in for last-minute gear or a quick replacement for a broken strap. The proximity to the arena and barns means you are always just a few steps from the sound of hooves on sand. For non-riders, it offers a window into Danish equestrian culture: you may catch a glimpse of children grooming ponies, riders cooling down after a session, or trailers arriving from nearby towns. It is a working environment first, tourist attraction second, but that authenticity is part of its charm.

Browsing as a visiting horse lover

For travellers, McCabe's is a niche but rewarding stop, especially if you have any interest in horses. Browsing the racks of saddles and bridles is a tactile experience, from smooth leather to bright nylon headcollars. The clothing section allows you to compare winter-ready layers with lighter summer training tops, all designed for life in the saddle. Even without planning a purchase, it is interesting to see what local riders rely on day to day. Because the store sits between Horsens, Skanderborg and Silkeborg, it can fit neatly into a drive across this part of Jutland. A short visit is usually enough to explore the space, but those kitting out a horse or rider may find themselves happily comparing options for much longer. Outside opening hours, the surrounding countryside remains a quiet, open landscape framed by pastures and riding tracks.

Practical details for a smooth visit

McCabe's operates as a straightforward retail shop with set opening hours concentrated from Tuesday to Saturday. Weekdays tend to be calm, with a few local riders dropping in, while Saturdays often feel busier as stables stock up for the week. The building itself is single-level and relatively easy to navigate, though the presence of feed pallets and outdoor gravel means those with mobility needs may want to take a little extra care. There is no elaborate visitor infrastructure; the emphasis is on service at the counter and specialist knowledge rather than on-site cafés or lounges. Short visits of half an hour to an hour suit most travellers, while stable owners and committed riders may happily spend more time asking questions and comparing products. As you leave, the surrounding fields and the quiet rhythm of the riding centre underline that this is a place built for people who live with horses every day.
