Saddle fitting on-site – unable to travel for next few months
We are going to have another addition to the family towards the end of the year (human-kind rather than equine).
As the last 8 weeks I’ve been plagued with fatigue and illness it has been decided that travelling distances to do saddle fittings is too hard. This may change if my health improves but in the mean time I am trying to find an arena close by I can utilise if people want to bring horses to me.
This is not the way I prefer to do saddle fitting as I like the horse to be in familiar territory so their reaction to saddles is easier to discern but unfortunately this is the best I can offer for the next few months. I can also send out saddles for you to try.
My apologies in advance and my thanks for your understanding.
Ryder Legacy 17.5″ Dressage Saddle for sale
This dressage saddle came in for an Endurance Riding client but unfortunately not as a 17″ seat or with shortened flaps!
So we need to clear this saddle at a super price!
Normally priced at $2775 now $2000!
This saddle has had limited use.
Details:
17.5″ Black Dressage Saddle – this saddle was made to template but is a Wide to Extra Wide Ryder fit (wider than other saddle brands X-wide, we recommend you send through a template and of course you can trial this saddle before purchase)
It has a Cobalt Blue half moon and piping – as well as a subtle Navy Blue panel.
This saddle has 3 long girth straps – two front and a sliding back girth strap.
It also has saddle dees below the seat for hanging useful things off! I can remove these if you want.
Photos to come!

2013
Greetings All – and I hope Christmas and New Years treated everybody well.
I’ve nearly finished working through a technological nightmare by losing all my email settings after heading to NZ for Xmas.
I’m down to only a couple of people still to contact.
News for the New Year is that I’ve slotted in a weekly run to Melbourne – so if you are after a saddle fit and are in Melbourne or en-route then Tuesdays is the day! Contact me early so I can work out times.
Lovatt & Ricketts introduces a new leather
Lovatt & Ricketts has introduced the new Pittards Tac 2 as standard to their saddle range.
Pittards has a deep understanding of the mechanics of grip through its work in sports gloves and footwear.
The company has developed several technologies to enhance grip without detriment to overall leather performance.
Cruiser Tac 2 is a refult of the application of this technology to a saddlery leather where surface drag is subtly enhanced to offer better grip and control to the rider in both wet and dry conditions.
Choosing Saddles to Sell
How do we choose what brands to sell?
A lot is done by word of mouth and recommendations. I also saw a lot of saddles both fitting and the innards when I was in the UK.
So – what happens when a brand is selected?
This is the bit that icks my husband out a bit – especially the first time I took a saddle apart and was silly enough to do it in the living room. Picture me in the middle of the floor surrounded by chunks of flocking, bits of saddle and some serious looking needles to sew it back together (one needle is 25cm long). He couldn’t fathom why I’d buy a perfectly good saddle and pull it to bits.
But I like to see how the saddle is made. I can check the tree, tree points, how the girth straps are attached and generally the workmanship (or love) that went into making it.
I also try to ride in each saddle. I figure that if I’m happy riding my horse in it then it has to be a contender.
Here is a photo of the Ryder Saddle *undone* – It is actually completely nudey with no flocking (I was going to put Flair air panels in it but changed my mind).
Where it all began – Horse One
15 years ago I had a ‘typical’ Off the Track Thoroughbred with the highest ‘shark-fin’ wither I’ve seen.
Having struggled to find even a narrow gullet that gave the ’4 fingers’ clearance without resembling a ski ramp I invested in a Balance International Saddle Demo. Without the funds needed to invest in one of the saddles I had to improvise.
The changes were dramatic! My horse went from Narrow to a Medium Wide gullet in 2 weeks! He moved a lot better, was more willing to work and had stopped shying at every ‘gremlin’ hiding in the bushes. Physically the horse developed a topline and started to get ‘mistaken’ for a warmblood. But then I made a mistake – I listened to people who told me that there was no way my horse could be that size. I hesitated and stopped allowing my horse to grow.
This brings me to my saddle fitting philosophy – “Never fit to a horses current shape but to what they should be”
