Meet the Team Monday 💥

Introducing Carolyn - our saddlery multi-talented powerhouse! Carolyn is one of our saddle fitters, covering the western part of our region as she is based in Cambridgeshire.

Carolyn has been hooked on horses since her first riding lesson when she was 7 - growing up just outside Newmarket meant she could take weekend jobs on studs and in sales/breaking yards which gave her experience of many of the different equine spheres including working with racehorses, polo ponies, eventers, breeding stock and show ponies.

She is a highly skilled and extensively qualified saddlery professional with over 25 years of experience in traditional saddlery, bridle making, harness making, saddle making, fitting, repair, and bespoke leatherwork… The list goes on! 🤯 Having begun formal training in 2000, she has progressed through a comprehensive series of industry-recognised qualifications, culminating in Master Saddler status in 2014 and subsequent recognition as a Master Harness Maker (2017) and Master Bridle Maker (2019).Her expertise covers the full spectrum of saddlery disciplines, including bespoke bridlework, harness making, saddle fitting and repairs. Impressive, right?

To book a saddle fitting appointment with Carolyn, contact Mill Saddlery (drop us a message or give us a call). For saddlery and harness enquiries, contact her directly via her website - https://www.bespoke-bridlework.co.uk
