Did you know I have a great selection of saddles at different price points? I really enjoy working with the kids and their ponies. Check out these cute pictures of a Thorowgood T4 Pony 16" and a 17.5" Kent and Masters S-Series Dressage saddle. Let me know if you're interested in trying them out!

Immediately stop using the recalled saddles and contact Weatherbeeta for instructions to return the recalled saddle to receive a free replacement saddle.

Saddle Spotlight!

Elevate your ride with the Ryder Azzuri – where comfort meets performance! Immerse yourself in the semi-deep seat designed for ultimate rider stability, ensuring your position is impeccably maintained. I love the pop of Ryder blue as the gullet lining.

Hi Everyone,
I am working on the first draft of my saddle fitting trip schedule. If you haven't responded yet and want an appointment, please email me at [email protected]

Exciting news! One of the things I did while I was in the UK was go to BETA (British Equestrian Tradeshow Association) to investigate new products for my business. I am going to be now carrying Mattes Pads along with the EQUILIBRIUM Products.

I am really excited for the new EQUILIBRIUM Therapy® Massage Pad Heatsense. It is a heat and massage pad rolled into one. I see many potential uses for the pad including to help loosen up tight back after travel, after a hard ride, and warming the horse up in the wintertime before work. One thing I love about this pad is that it maintains a certain temperature and will not let the horse get too hot along with giving your horse a nice vibration massage. I would have loved to have had this for Fox

I am going to be placing my first order this week. It would be a great holiday present for your horse. Please let me know if you would like to order any of the EQUILIBRIUM or Mattes Products. If I have them in time for my trip and I am coming to your area, I will be able to deliver them to you at no cost.

I love getting emails like this: "I still LOVE the saddle. Rosita and I have progressed so quickly. Started on pirouette work, flying changes, its all so EASY once the saddle helped and not hindered the progress. Thank you again."

It makes my heart happy and the main reason why I love saddle fitting.

New and exciting things are happening with the saddlery business. One of the things I am doing is upgrading my accounting system into Quickbooks, so some of you all may see some emails as I enter everything in for this year.

I am thankful for everyone my life, but especially for Meghan! She has been training with me for over and year and is becoming an outstanding fitter. Since stepping back from traveling so much, she has really been helping me with clients north of I-80. She has full access to my stock and if you want an appointment, please reach out to her directly. Yes, I am still saddle fitting, but on a limited schedule.

At this time, I am only taking select new clients. If you are working with one of my current barns, can haul to me or can be very flexibly on timing I will try to add you into my schedule. I have very limited spots available to new clients. I have add new saddle fitters to my company and they are available for new clients. Please contact me for further details. Current clients, I am still seeing. I am only responding to emails ([email protected]) and expect at least 2 to 3 business days before a response.

This is due to the changes in my business as I try to balance family life with fitting along with my new responsibilities with Täkt Saddlery.

FYI: I am going to be a little slow with messages/emails. I am going flat out until mid to late May with very little unplanned time. Plus Piper has an ear infection and not sleep well.

This is a very good post about how the stirrup bar can influence the rider. It is from the perceptive of a physio/trainer. This something I do look at from a saddle fitting prospective and the seat size does influence it. It is one small piece of saddle fitting puzzle that needs to be address. Yes the stirrup bars are traditionally different from jump/dressage saddles, but it is for the different intended functions of the saddle.
