Another tip when it comes to buying toys. Don't think you necessarily have to buy them in a sex shop, or from a BDSM website. Especially anything equestrian-based... just go to the source.

We picked up a riding crop and a bull whip at a tack shop a while back for about $10 a piece. Exactly the same (if not better) than what you would get at a sex shop, for about a tenth of the price.

When it comes to outfitting your toy chest, it pays to shop around, and get a little creative.
