Saddles / Heather

[Mellany]

I notice Heather has worked with Thorowgood to design a GP saddle (have seen it in 'Ride Away' catalogue. Is there a dressage version available?

Yes, we have one, it's not bad at all. It makes a huge amount of difference to a badly designed leather GP.

There is another one out too. Half synthetic half leather. Bit more (but not much) than the T'good but a better design.

I've ridden in both, I am leaning towards the Saddle Company one as the better of the two.

I have trouble getting ANY of the T'good designs to fit my horse. I originally bought the T'good for my horse but is it not a happy fit, it just isn't right. So it's gone to another horse we have, fits her a treat and she and her riders do so much better in it than an ordinary GP.

Thanks Wally!
Where is The Saddle Company, do they have a site? cheers!

[Wally]

They are in Walsall, don't know if they have a site, The address is Hucker's Buildings. They will be in the phonebook, they will tell you who their retailers are. Or PM Heather she may be able to tell you directly who supplied her saddles in your area.

HI Mel,

The Saddle Co is not actually in Hucker Buildings, Jo, that is Barry Swain, but Saddle Co is opposite in the same yard.

You need to talk to me first Mel regarding your requirements. I can email you photos etc.

If you want to ring me, I shoudl be in tomorrow evening- out with students tonight- tel 01803 863676.

Cheers,

Heather

I have e-mailed Jane re Easy Sits but no response yet (she has a message up on one of the websites - Horselinks classified) but all I need is a phone number please - just so I can contact someone. Henry arrives next Wednesday and if he passes his vetting I am too old to ride bareback!!!!

[Wally]

Oh, ... I stand corrected.....isn't the whole yard bit they are in classed as Hucker's buildings?... Didn't it used to belong to Hucker's Leathers?

[cvb]

so if the recommended option is from Barry Swaine and/or Saddle Co, how on earth do I get one fitted to a horse living in Sweden...

It could be the most expensive saddle ever !

HI Cvb,

I have just sent a Saddle Co Easisit to Sweden yesterday!

Jo, the buildings were indeed Huckers leather, but for some reason, only Barry's block retains the name, the rest are Unit 1, 2 etc.

Cvb- I have been invited to do a clinic in Sweden next year- it is just finding the time!!
