In our business we help “problem” horses and owners to understand each other. We come across many horses who buck, bolt, nap, bite etc and many of these issues stem from ill-fitting tack - especially saddles, so I know the importance of finding the right saddle that will fit my horse throughout the year, as he changes shape with each season, and as he changes shape with age.
Having bought my wee Highland as a yearling nearly three years ago the time was fast approaching to find him a saddle to start the backing process but I was really struggling to find a saddle that didn’t seem to “levitate” above his ample body!
After meeting Ann and being introduced to The Solution saddle, I did a bit of research on the internet and thought this might be the answer to my problems.
Being able to “try before you buy” is a great idea. I tried the saddle out on my older horse as well as some other horses at my livery yard - I could really put it to the test and be sure that I am making the right choice for my young pony. I plan to show him in the future so this saddle, unlike some treeless alternatives, will be perfectly acceptable for competing.
In my line of business I also believe it will be an invaluable tool in ensuring that I will be able to use it on a variety of different horses.
