In 2 days, I am headed back down under to work with the great horsemen of Australia and New Zealand for 3 weeks!

I am beyond excited for this journey, and I will take you all along with me.

**If you need an appointment, let’s get you in the books for after my trip BEFORE I leave! I return May 10th, and the first three weeks are almost full already.
I will be BUSY working on this trip, so I will be essentially unavailable.

Thank you to Ann @ Equestrian Imports for getting this lovely Lovett & Ricketts Rubicon for this pair. We are so grateful for your help!

These saddles are adjustable, wool flocked, and made in England.

Teamwork makes the Dreamwork. 🥰

Spur damage is a common finding during both bodywork and saddle fitting appointments. The soft tissue destruction is easily palpable. It’s very sad that we feel that this is acceptable in our riding horses.

Spring is here, the grass is coming through and our horses are starting to change shape again 🌱 With the switch from winter to lush summer fields, our horse’s weight and muscle can shift quickly, sometimes faster than we notice!

As workloads pick up and the season gets going, it’s really common to notice little changes like:
✔️ Your girth going up (or down!) a hole
✔️ Feeling slightly tipped forwards or backwards
✔️ Your horse taking a shorter stride or not feeling quite as free
✔️ Or just that things feel a bit “different”

These little signs matter, not just for performance but for the welfare of your horse and the safety of you as the rider.

A Society of Master Saddlers Registered Qualified Saddle Fitter won’t just check the fit, they’ll also look over the overall condition of your saddle, making sure everything is sound, secure, and doing its job properly so you can ride with confidence and your horse stays comfortable.

DID YOU KNOW?
It’s recommended that saddles are checked at least twice a year AND as soon as you notice the slightest change in your horse’s shape, work or how the saddle feels, prevention is always better than fixing a problem later.
...and the best outcome?
That lovely peace of mind knowing your horse is happy, you’re safe and you’re both ready to enjoy the season ahead 😊🐎
