Ever wondered where the flocking comes from that I use in your saddles? The answer is Benridge Woolworks Just look at this lovely soft Jacobs Wool being produced, it's top quality, the horses love it and buying from them supports British Farmers 👍

Borrowed by a IASF Saddle Fitter who also has over 20 years previous experience as a trainer & Qualified BHS Instructor
Written by Amy Skinner "When you pay for a lesson or training, you aren’t buying an hour of my time. You’re paying for thousands of hours of sweat, struggle, success and tears. You’re buying injuries, mistakes, and revelations. You’re buying nights awake thinking about a horse or student I need to help more, thinking about what could be bothering a certain horse. Searching on the internet about possible medical causes for certain behaviours. You’re paying for the time i spend updating owners late at night about how their horse is doing. For the emotional toll it sometimes takes on a trainer when an owner is dealing with big emotions. You’re buying hours of hauling hay, mucking stalls and grooming, of carefully checking your horse over like It was my own. You’re paying for my further education, because i still take lessons as frequently as possible. You’re paying for my care, concern, over dinner conversation, and you inevitably become a central part of my life.
You can’t put a price on education, or personal development, or the bliss of finally being “with” a horse. Thank you for sharing with me, teaching me, and letting me teach you, while I put food on my table and hay in my barn with the most fulfilling job ever. "❤️

💥The New Arena Monoflap Jump Saddle 💥
I have been eagerly waiting the release of this phenomenal monoflap jump from Arena Saddles. Got the privilege of seeing it in person before it's release date and it is mega! The quality of the leather was exquisite and as usual it is fully adjustable. Watch out for it in my stock as it won't disappoint 👍

Saddle Fitting - More than meets the eye!
The horses eye is a mirror to the soul and can tell you exactly what they think about a saddle. Horses don't just react to pain they can mask it as well, they can shut off and end up just going through the motions. But the eye doesn't lie and that's why it's such a powerful communication resource for horses in Saddle Fitting

Back to business and ready to roll out the brand new logo. Times are constantly changing in the Saddle Fitting world and your brand is the first thing that represents you. My established clientele know that fitting to me is not a job, its my passion!! So here is the new logo that represents my business ethics - uncomplicated, dependable, easy to work with and built through recommendation!

Thankyou to everyone that has supported me during the last few weeks, all of your well wishes and support has been greatly appreciated 🙏😊
I am planning on starting to, slowly, return to work from the end of next week 🤞 the knee is not at full strength but I need to make a start catching up.
I have still got a way to go in my rehabilitation and this is not the end of my recovery yet so I will only be able to concentrate on Saddle Fitting until I have caught up with all of my regulars, therefore unfortunately Infrared Imaging and lessons will not be re-commencing at this time. I have a long list of appointments that I need to book in and I am going to try and get back to all of the messages in the next week, if you are waiting for an appointment and I haven't contacted you in the next few days just send me a message to remind me.
Looking forwards to getting back out and about to catch up with everyone 😊, thanks Vicki xx

This is not something I wanted to write and believe me when I say, when it happened again, I was crying through pure frustration. Unfortunately my knee has re dislocated and I am once again on crutches with my leg in a brace. I am taking every measure possible to speed my recovery along but I am unable to weight bear or drive at the moment. I understand that there are some of you that are waiting for fittings but I am going to have to take a couple of weeks off work to rest. I apologise for this inconvenience but there is literally nothing I can do. I appreciate your co operation as I take time to heal and I will be back out fitting as soon as I can drive xx

After a busy day out fitting I returned home to find this lovely certificate had been delivered. I'm proud to be part of an organisation that has such high fitting standards in the equine industry!
