We’d like to let you know that WOW Saddles will be closed for our mid-September shutdown from Fri 12th September to Sun 21st September 2025.

Our last working day will be Thursday 11th September, and we’ll be back in the office on Monday 22nd September 2025.

This is a time when our whole team takes a well-earned rest, so during this period:

🔴 We won’t be available to respond to calls, emails, or social media messages.

🔴 No orders or deliveries will be processed.

🔴 Our final deliveries before the break will go out on Thursday 11th September, so please place any shop orders in advance.

We really appreciate your understanding and support, and we’ll be back refreshed and ready to help on Monday 22nd September 2025.

At WOW Saddles we have three shutdowns throughout the year, where all our services stop to allow the team to take their holidays at the same time. This allows for the least disruption to producing saddles which involve all our skilled staff.

Interesting information in this post especially the stats about stride length decreasing with a tighter noseband.

We know how pressure can affect horses and that's why our FreeSpace Bridle (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=943195054369522) has only three areas of contact for a kinder fit with no pressure on facial nerves, blood vessels, TMJ, or the poll.

All our products are designed to provide superior fit and comfort for both horse and rider.
