Testimonials

About two years ago I purchased a custom made Cheshire saddle from Heritage Saddles for my very broad Thelwell look-alike pony. The process of fitting the saddle from the other side of the world was very simple-four digital photos and a tracing from a flexicurve pattern of my pony's back. Being able to select features for my saddle meant I didn't have to compromise and it was completely suitable for what I wanted to use it for. 6 weeks later the saddle arrived and it fitted my pony perfectly. It is great to ride in putting me in a balanced and stable position.

I loved this saddle so much I got another saddle made for my very-hard-to-fit Arabian. This time the basic design was a Cheshire but incorporated features from two other styles of saddle. Nothing was a problem and Matt kept in contact every step of the design process. Again 6 weeks later a perfectly fitting saddle arrived all the way from the UK.

Both saddles are used for general hacking and light jumping but because of the quality could still be used in showing and turnout classes.

I also purchased girths and stirrup leathers which were very good quality and competively priced.

If I was to buy a saddle off the rack for my pony I would have been stuck with a synthetic saddle that would have actually cost more. As for the Arabian I would still be looking for a saddle that would fit her properly.

I am happy to recommend Heritage Saddles as they produce a quality product, are reliable and very helpful.
