Finding the right saddle for you and your horse is essential, but it can be quite confusing with so many choices available. As one of the most expensive pieces of equipment you will buy for your horse being able to see and more importantly ride in the saddle before deciding which is the most suitable for you is vital.
At Village Saddlery we stock over 500 saddles, and have demonstrator saddles available in all makes and models we stock, so allowing you the opportunity to try the saddle during your appointment, with the expert guidance of our Master Saddler. Ensuring the correct saddle fit for your horse and yourself.
Having your saddle checked regularly should be a key part of your horse care routine, with an annual check as a minimum. We also offer a comprehensive saddlery workshop service meaning that repairs do not have to be sent away.
We are happy to work together with your instructor or other equestrian professionals to provide guidance and advice in determining the correct saddle.
