For New Saddles
If you are thinking of purchasing a new saddle.
We will need to know:
- What you enjoy or aim to achieve with your horse - from hacking to top competition.
- Your height, build and experience
- Your horse's size, age, type and conformation
- Any veterinary or other issues
- Your budget
- Trial facilities available
For new saddle fittings it is of great benefit to have somewhere you or the main rider can ride to try out different saddles and together with Liz assess the best option for you and your horse.After you have purchased a new saddle we recommend a follow up visit 2-3 months later to make any adjustments after the saddle has bedded in.
For Saddle Checks
Horses like people change shape over time. It is a good practice to get into the routine of having your saddle checked every 6 months this can help to alleviate the risk of more serious back and behavioural problems later on.
For Repairs and Alterations
Liz is able to make adjustments to flocking and saddle width in situ. For more extensive alterations and repairs tack may need to be brought back to our workshop for a short period.
We also offer a leather repair service for all items of tack. Simply bring your repairs along to the shop or email a picture.
