Saddles
and tack have seen many changes over the past fifty years.
None more so than in recent times with the use of computer
technology, pressure testing equipment and hindsight!
Many people have questioned the traditional views and
ideas of saddles and saddles fitting, resulting in a
new wave of saddlery design and how they fit on our horses.
Treeless saddles have come into a lot of press lately
and many people say they are riding a much happier horse
because of them. The traditional flocking has come under
scrutiny, many claiming that it hinders a horses’ movement
and is hard and uncomfortable. Foam, air and gel are
now all commonplace as alternatives.
