Hogbens Saddle and Harness Makers

Hogbens Saddle and Harness Makers Hogbens Saddle and Harness Makers stock a wide range of saddles to suit any horse and rider. We can also repair any breakages or just wear and tear.

I have been a saddler for more than 30 years and hope to offer you the benefit of my experience. I have worked in many areas - dressage with Albion/Legend, polo with The Tackeria, Palm Beach, many Hunts both here and in the UK, Eventers, Show Jumpers, numerous Pony Clubs, Riding Schools, Livery Yards, Trekking Centres, City Farms, Driving Horses and thousands of individual horse lovers. I always

have a huge selection of quality used saddles to choose from and will travel to fit saddles in your own yard or you can bring your horse to me. All saddles come with a 14 day happiness guarantee so you can buy with the confidence of full refund or exchange. My aim is always comfort for horse and rider at a price they can afford and we have saddles for all budgets. I also do any saddle repairs and maintenance such as straps, new trees, new seats, flocking etc you may require and am often able to offer a loan saddle to keep you riding while yours is off the road.

Friday FAQ!

Q. Do you have that in brown? (black, blue, pink etc)

A. When you think about it this is a slightly odd question but one which comes up again and again.
For the most part I sell used saddles. That means I have to buy used saddles and the criteria I have for choosing them involves style, age, condition, possibility of fitting a horse (believe me, some of them are never going to be good for that), price etc. Almost never colour unless it’s a particularly bad shade of tan which is not going to appeal to anyone.
Consequently every saddle is an individual and unlike the local shoe shop I am unlikely to carry the same thing in more than one colour. I usually have a fairly even mix of black and brown but it comes down to luck, just now for example, a lot of black ones have come in for no particular reason.
It can be quite hard to find a suitable saddle that fits you, your horse and your pocket so if you are going second hand my advice is to be as open minded as you can and get the saddle BEFORE the bridle has you set on a colour way.

Kings have always been a forward looking company and saddles have passed through all the styles since they began in the late 80s. Set up by two brothers the factory is in Walsall and when I last visited, probably 20 years ago, it was a labyrinth of workshops and passages, all dim with the haze of smoke.
These are a good quality saddle, and while Grainne hates this one for its slightly dated look, I don’t. We see many riders that benefit from and prefer the deeper seat, it would also accommodate a longer leg.

King's Saddlery, GP. 18 inch, N. €350.
