  TESTIMONIALS

 

 

  Our horses change shape due to age, conditioning, training, nutrition and seasons.  If you buy a saddle that fits really well today and it cannot be adjusted, you might be saddle shopping again really soon.  So that the saddle can continue to fit as the horse develops or if you change horses, we only offer saddles that are adjustable.   We recommend having your saddle fit every 6-12 months.
