I am back on the road and in full swing!!

Actually I've been up and going for a couple of weeks now and haven't had a moment to post 🫣

I think I've responded to everyone but if I've missed you, please give me a poke!
There are 30+ clients already on the books for October so forgive me if I've forgotten you.

I still have availability for October but I suspect things will get busy once the spring grass kicks in, so please get in early to avoid disappointment.

Freezing morning at the beautiful watching sponsored rider Kirsty Van Loon Para Equestrian and her beautiful horse Red (Nero R) ❤️

Kirsty tried many saddles before falling in love with her Erreplus Connect, wanting to make sure her young horse was set up with the very best. She's been a huge fan of the brand ever since!

It's so exciting to be apart of this beautiful horses bright future ❤️

The old girls back on the road 😍😍 it's been a cold two days delivering saddles but it's still my favourite part of the job!

Work resumes to normal the week after next ❤️

How many Erreplus did you spot in the Olympics 😍 I can spot these stunning saddles from a mile away. Even spied a few in the eventing!

I've been waiting until this was returned to post this one 😍

This older loxley on an adjustable tree was in for a full reflock and widening the channel to make it suit a completely different horse shape. Whilst it was with me, I got permission to see if I could restore the colour!
I don't think it's owner even dreamed I could get it looking this good 😍😍

No dyes or paints, just some good old oil and elbow grease!

Just a little update as I know I've been MIA on socials.
July has been a mentally challenging month with two cars completely biting the dust 🫣 unfortunately, one of those was my saddlefitting van!!
With August being a little quiet on the saddle fitting front and now not having a van to work from, I've decided to pick up some extra vet shifts to pay my rather large mechanical bills.
So for the month of August, I won't be offering any routine fitting. I'm happy to see urgent appointments locally on the weekends. This may mean coming to me if you need some desperate fixes.

I will hopefully be offering up extra availability in September as I predict there will be a spring rush.

So if you need a fitting, don't be afraid to send me a message and we can work together to make a time.
Thank you all for your patience ❤️

I'm officially set up with all your Bates fitting accessories ❤️
From gullets to girth points to replacement saddle covers, I can help fine tune the fit of your Wintecs, Arena and Bates saddles on the spot without sending you shopping for the parts!

10/06/2024

On the road again!
I will be at the club grounds all day Sunday but am available to do a trip down to Gambier and surrounds on Saturday and/or Monday (pending numbers).

29/05/2024

Perfect morning to do some girth points by the window, listening to the glorious rain 🌧 🙌

Did you know that long girth points on GP and jump saddles is a very Australian thing. In the UK they prefer short points, easier to tighten when on the horse!

22/05/2024

I had the pleasure of staying with this beautiful human on my Riverland trip! If you're wanting a dedicated and passionate horse professional to help unlock the potential of your horse then jump in on this trip 🙌
All mine are booked in 😃

Due to last minute cancellations I have two spots available this Saturday for Sports Massage in the following regions:

🐎 Mannum
🐎 Murray Bridge
🐎 Sanderston

Please get in touch if you would like to be seen 😃

We've had a giant weekend with Performance Saddlefits NSA travelling to the Riverland and Mildura to help horses of all shapes and sizes!

I'm in the office today and tomorrow morning with 5 reflocks, 12 girth points and a bunch of orders to process. I'll get back to all messages as soon as I can!

Schedule for May still has some availabilities and June is quite open so if you're thinking of booking an appointment, wait times are not too long at the moment.

Now to find some time to work my horse before this weekends ODE through Onkaparinga Pony Club 🫣

Thankyou Performance Saddlefits SSA for an awesome weekend. Travelling the Riverland and beyond, meeting some absolutely incredible horses and people.
2 fitters on the road, venturing into all areas of SA.

Appointments available for this Sunday the 12th of May!
We have an indoor arena available for the day, otherwise please enquire if you need us to come to you. Could also stop back in to Renmark on our way home so reach out if you're on that side.

Wow, I feel like this year's been a blur already! How is it already April?!? Thought I'd post a little update of upcoming trips and things.

Thanks to those who have been patient while I have been shocking at getting back to messages this week. Things got a bit hectic playing catchup last week but I think we're back on track. If I've missed you, please poke me!

My laptops also determined to make my life difficult and is now convinced it can't Wi-Fi... super helpful when I do most my work from there! So I'm working from my phone for now which has its challenges however I can't invoice from here. So if you're expecting one, it may be a little delayed.

I also have some new saddles and will introduce the Wembley Dressage and GP in the coming weeks. These are going to be an awsome adjustable gullet range for a wide variety of horses, and gives us another option under $3k!

Steph and I are planning a trip to the Riverland and Mildura on the 11th and 12th of May, we've already started taking some names down but if you're wanting to be on this trip, send either one of us a shout out! We will have saddles to try, second hand saddles for sale and be fitting your existing saddles!

My availability for May is looking pretty good at the moment and I will be looking at working at some indoors throughout winter.

Thanks all for being awesome and so supportive, this year has had some of my most enjoyable times saddle fitting and I hope that will continue throughout 2024 ❤️

Now I am currently enjoying some time off to spend with my partner as he supports this adventure of mine so so well. Without him in the backround looking after my own ponies, I don't think I could do this! I'll still be responding to messages and taking bookings for May, but you won't see me on this road until then.

Unfortunately due to a traumatic loss, I won't be contactable for the next 48 hours. I have contacted all booked appointments and will get back to everyone as soon as I can.

I appreciate everyone's patience as I say goodbye to another treasured horse.
