Nothing says 'ready to win' like gleaming tack and polished boots. 🌟 A little elbow grease goes a long way in the judge’s eye. Do you clean your tack before every show? Be honest… 😅

We make and sell our own line of tack cleaner and leather balm for ensuring your tack is safe, free from harmful and sticky chemicals, and that it is going to be protected and look its best!

If you need to order tack cleaner or leather balm, please send us a message and we can get it shipped out or dropped off!

A perfectly fitted saddle isn’t just for comfort—it can make or break your ride in the ring. ✅ Performance, posture, and confidence all start with proper tack. Is your gear show-ring ready? It isn't just about looking good it is about performance. Shows are expensive, make the most of your experience!

If you want to be sure, please fill out our Jotform to get on our schedule. We will also be at Upperville Horse and C**t Show on Sunday and Thursday this week if you need tack fittings or adjustments this week while you are at the show!

If you think your horse doesn't know what saddle you are bringing out, and what the saddle makes them feel, you are missing all manner of communication and capacity on the part of your horse.
Horses are empathic, they react to your heart rate, they know different people for years and years without seeing them, they remember their friends. They for sure know that the particular brown saddle makes them hurt, or better yet, means it is jump schooling day and therefore fun!

Horses know. We hav proof and research.

A first for us, got to meet some geese at an appointment today, this little guy didn’t seem to like Matt too much.

**We will be closed today as we help celebrate one of Maryland’s oldest traditions.**

Lauren’s love of horses began at Pimlico Race Course as she lived up the street from it as a girl and often came down to watch the morning exercise riders. The Preakness Stakes became an annual tradition for her family filled with parties and friends.

Today, instead of grilling at the family home and helping to park cars, we will be trackside enjoying some Black Eyed Susan cocktails and picking out the fictitious next horse that Lauren will buy after it’s race career.

A traditional craft still done the traditional way. The US has one saddler for the Army Caisson unit, I missed applying for the job by 6 months and I doubt it will come available again in my working life. I still get to do what I love and work with clients everyday, so no complaints, but check out the work of these amazing saddlers in the UK!

If you’ve had me out for fittings or seen us at shows, you might already know Matt—but I wanted to take a moment to officially re-introduce him, as he’ll be taking on a more active role in the business.

In addition to being a talented saddle fitter himself, Matt brings extensive experience in dispatching, logistics, customer service, and client communication. He’s uniquely suited to tackle the stream of emails and messages that come my way!

Moving forward, Matt will be handling most of the communication related to scheduling, appointments, saddle orders and deliveries, invoicing, and more. If there’s a question that specifically requires my input—like something from a recent appointment or a saddle-specific issue—he’ll pass it on, and I’ll respond directly.

This shift brings two immediate benefits:
1) Faster response times to messages and appointment requests
2) More focused time from me during fittings—so I can give you and your horse the undivided attention you deserve

Excited to make it official—welcome, Matt!
