Do you ever feel like you are fighting to get out of your saddle when posting? Are you constantly in your block, or too far away from it? Do you feel like you're being pitched forward? Are you constantly in a chair seat? Are you not able to extend your stirrups as low as your trainer would like? All of these can indicate improper saddle fit! Don't make your riding harder than it has to be! Reach out to set up an appointment with us, either in messenger, cell, or fill out the form in our description. Multiple appointments at one location can receive a discount!

Our clients and their horses truly are the best part about this job. But sometimes, I gotta say, the view doesn’t suck either. And that’s just an added bonus! Hope everyone is enjoying the lovely fall weather this week!

We are waiting on our demo, but we have sat in this saddle and can say that it is without a doubt the easiest saddle to stay in 2 point. It is narrow in the seat and the twist to reduce fatigue by not spreading your hips around the saddle while staying up in 2 point.

If you want to sit in the amazing Albion jump saddle line, send us a message and get on the schedule!

Do you recognize this face?

This facial expression is one of anticipation of pain or knowing that an unpleasant situation is about to happen.

If this happens when your horse sees your tack but not when they see you, there is a good chance that they are in pain in their current tack.

Saddle too long? Saddle too narrow? Saddle too wide? Wrong shape tree? Old or insufficient flocking? Old foam? Poorly shaped foam? Too much half pad? Wrong girth? Wrong billets?

If your horse is bucking, rushing, knocking down poles, spinning, etc. under saddle, or biting at you while tacking up, or kicking out while being tacked, or making this face it is time to call in a professional independent trained saddle fitter who can assess your tack, educate you about fit, discuss your options for better fit or comfort, and make necessary adjustments or recommendations.
(Hint: I’m the fitter, it’s me!)

Such an honor to have known and worked with this amazing competitor and his horses. Kind, humble, smart. I didn’t get to listen to his commentary from Burghley but I am looking forward to him continuing to move around the sport in the coming years.

Burghley marked the perfect farewell for William Fox-Pitt from the top of the sport, it was a privilege to watch his incredibly touching tribute.

It has been our absolute pleasure to support William ( .pitt.eventing ) throughout his remarkable Eventing career. We would like to thank him for the trust he has instilled in us with his horses since 1987. What a journey we have been on together; Olympic, World and European medals, a record 14 CCI 5* titles, as well as a record 6 Burghley wins. He has been an incredible inspiration for the sport and an invaluable member of .

We are extremely grateful to have had the honour of supporting William for over 3 decades, developing saddles in collaboration with him, keeping him and his horses as comfortable as possible whilst competing at the top of the sport, and on top of all that, witnessing his dedication and passion which have continually inspired us. We are so proud to have played a small part in his success.

Happy Retirement William ❤️
