I've purchased a few brand new saddles…

I've purchased a few brand new saddles before, but the only one that truly suits my needs and my horse is the Smartsaddle. It consistently provides a perfect fit, and my horse performs wonderfully with it!

I bought a Smart saddle some years ago …

I bought a Smart saddle some years ago to be sure that a back issue in my horse was not going to be made worse by his saddle. I had it fitted. It was comfortable for both of us right away, and the saddle transferred easily to my current horse. He is older with some arthritis but you would not guess that to see him work. I school and hack in the Smart saddle and rate it very very highly for both his comfort and mine.

I've just bought my used new smart GPS…

I've just bought my used new smart GPS Saddle, we're getting used to it being so different and if I want to have a saddle saver I need to buy the Heather Moffat suede saver, I'm trying to go without atm although It's difficult as I don't have much 'cushioning' down on the seat area.

Fantastic saddles

Fantastic saddles, I very much wish that I had discovered SmartSaddles before now. The difference in my horses is so good to see and feel, no more cold backs or grumping when girthing up. I feel like the whole riding experience is better for them and me. Now I will say that I am purely a happy hacker, my discipline is......riding because I love the company of my horses. That is it. If you, like me want the best for your horses and seriously can't deal with all the complications that come with modern day saddles then I highly recommend having a go with a SmartSaddle.

Very happy to recommend xx

I have always been wary about treeless saddles and only through a friends enthusiasm was I convinced to at least speak to a Smart Saddler (as these saddles were in a different league apparently). To be honest I just gave in and the saddler came with a hunter/jumper for me to try. Needless to say Smart didn’t get it back!! My horse instantly moved so much more freely and the saddle naturally put me in a better position. I can’t emphasise enough how much difference this saddle has made! The fact I can put it on my other horses with a different shim set up is an added bonus for me too. The only negatives I can think of is that the brown leather is very dark almost black so you’re going to have to use black stirrup leathers to match and their saddle pads are limited in colours and have their massive logo emblazoned on it which is not to my taste. I’ve had Velcro sewn on to my existing CC pads so I can have what I prefer. I’ve had the saddle 3 months now and still very very happy to recommend!
