🐎 Introducing Flex-on Stirrups – Now Available to try at your next fitting! 🎉

I’m excited to offer my clients the chance to ride in and experience the exceptional Flex-on Stirrups. These innovative stirrups are designed to elevate your riding performance while prioritizing your comfort and joint health. Why not give them a try during your next fitting?

🌟 Key Features and Benefits

1. Shock Absorption System

Flex-on stirrups are equipped with elastomer shock absorbers and a wide footbed, designed to cushion the shock waves generated by your horse’s movement. This advanced system improves rider stability and reduces joint stress across all equestrian disciplines.

Advantages:
Maximizes comfort while maintaining the rider’s position and physical well-being.
Reduces muscle fatigue and chronic pain in the adductors, ankles, knees, and back.
Proven effective through biomechanical studies conducted by an independent sports laboratory.

2. Optimal Stirrup Placement

The unique frame design features an offset, skewed slot for the stirrup leather, ensuring optimal contact with the horse. A range of angled footbeds helps riders achieve and maintain a correct leg position in any discipline.

Advantages:
Instantly positions the rider perfectly upon mounting.
Enhances connection with the horse.
Easier to locate the stirrup, with reduced strain on ankle joints and muscles.

3. Ergonomic Design

Flex-on stirrups are crafted to promote ideal rider alignment (shoulders-hips-heels). The inclined footbed encourages a natural heel-down position, while the flat footbed is ideal for riders with hyperlaxed ankles.

Advantages:
Automatically adjusts posture for precision and comfort.
Reduces fatigue and ensures the foot stays securely in place.
Provides optimal support for improved control and performance.

🌟 Try Them for Yourself!

Don’t miss the opportunity to test these incredible stirrups and feel the difference they can make in your riding. You can try them during your next fitting with me!

📩 Contact me today to schedule your trial! On 07917547718 or visit 🌐 www.leightonnorrissaddlery.co.uk to arrange a fitting

Warm regards,

Albion Saddle Makers In House Training

Over the last two days, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to spend time with Albion Saddle Makers 🐴✨.

We explored options for creating bespoke, made-to-measure saddles, including new tree shapes 🪵, and I had the chance to speak directly with their in-house saddlers. We discussed new tree options, shortening of tree points, panel adjustments, and all the finer details to ensure the saddle fits perfectly for both horse and rider 🐎👌.

We also delved into templating techniques to achieve a truly bespoke fit and spent an amazing day on a dressage yard🏇, analysing tree shapes, saddle fits, and riding various horses in different saddles 🛠️📏.

A huge thank you to Albion for an inspiring and educational two days! 🙏🤩
If your interested in sitting in any of the Albion range contact Leighton direct or visit www.leightonnorrissaddlery.co.uk and filli in enquiry form to arrange a visit.

Leighton Norris Saddlery is incredibly proud to announce that his sponsored rider, Sam Whaley, and the amazing Doree won the Inter 1 Kur at the Arena UK High Profile Show last week 🏆🐴!

Sam has been riding in an Albion Fabrento for the past 12 months, and Doree has performed amazingly in it.

Sam highlighted just how important it is to have a saddle that fits correctly, allowing your horse to perform at its best. Being able to ride for every mark with confidence, knowing that comfort is key for both horse and rider, makes all the difference 💫.

If you would like to try any of the Albion saddles, please contact Leighton directly at 📞 07917547718 or visit 🌐 www.leightonnorrissaddlery.co.uk.
