Horn or no horn?

Years ago, this customer bought a super lightweight endurance saddle—and it’s been well loved ever since! On a recent visit, Maria went out to fit a new saddle for the customer’s other horse. While the customer still loved her endurance saddle, she now wanted a horn—something we can do!
For just a few hundred pounds, the saddle was returned to the saddle maker and fitted it with a horn. Swipe to see the transformation in the middle two photos!
There are a number of customisations that can be made to your saddle if your needs change—horns, bucking rolls, and more. Just ask!

Barefoot Backpack ‘Walk My Horse’ - Walking with your horse is important to establish trust. During a walk you discover new things together - while allowing your horse to learn about horse/human partnership and build that foundation. It’s especially good for young horses to learn to walk on the trail. There is plenty to explore and the more we do this from the ground with our horses, the safer they become under saddle. This is also a great option for horses that can’t be ridden, older horses, trail riding or a cute picnic!

Recently home from a series of trips. It has been lovely meeting you all and your horses.

The weather was mostly kind, and most clients happened to have their time slots between storm gusts and heavy rain. On other days we had pure sunshine.

Please give me a few days to settle and catch up with myself - I will be in touch soon.

Photos of some of the beautiful places I got to see. Have I ever mentioned how lucky I am to have such an incredible job?!!! 😜😁💙
