Matt, Thought I'd let you know...

My horse is getting a little older now and having some stiffness in his shoulder (aren't we all??) so I had an equine chiropractor come look at him the other day...

Obviously the first thing she wanted to look at is the saddle and how it fits... which is still perfect after two years. She found absolutely nothing wrong, no issues at all, in the saddle area of his body, even though I'm a 190lb rider on a 14.2hh welsh cob, riding 3-4 times a week.

Of course, once she saw my saddle, then Hannah's and Poppy's...well, they speak for themselves!! i explained the process and you can see below how it's going... 🙂

Hi Matt,

Just to let you know the custom made Contour Master saddle arrived safely and I must say it is as you promised – absolutely beautiful!! It fits him very well and is so comfortable – I love it.

Once again thank you for a lovely saddle.

Cheers,

Hi Matt, I wanted to give the saddle some time to break in, get accustomed to it, etc etc before I reviewed it so it could be a genuine impression. So here's the outcome:

Review of Custom made "County Show" Saddle

It's great! My horse is moving better, really better! Even in the heat of summer when he's a slug. My position is better and if we get a leaper or a bad spot jumping I seem to stay more centered than I used to.


The leather quality & work is excellent, I have zero complaints.

The color is most excellent. I have no idea how you got an exact match to my leather by photograph's only, but it looks great.

Our saddle fitter here has looked at my saddle as well as Shannon's saddle. She is very impressed. In fact, she says she is not sure how you do it for the price!

I will be happy to refer anyone I know considering a new saddle in the U.S. in the future

Thank you for our beautiful Bespoke Poynton Show Saddle, brought a tear to my daughters eye and she couldnt wait to jump on. Fitted beautifully and she couldnt believe how comfortable it was.

So glad we made the choice to have one made, no more worrying as it fits like a glove. Thank you again Matt, such wonderful service, its been a pleasure!

UPDATE:First show of the season yesterday, 1st equitation U17, 1st M&M, and reserve champion, thanks Matt, saddle was perfect xx T

Hi Matt,

Sorry not been in touch sooner.

Picked the saddle up from you then horse went lame that weekend.

Sat it on him and seemed ok but wanted to ride in it before I got in touch.

Anyhow, just a bruised sole so he’s back in action now. Rode in saddle this weekend.

Fits a treat – glad I took a chance on it, it really does fit him well, impressed you can do such a good job from a template!

Great stuff!

Hey Matt,


Fiona in Tom Price, Western Australia just letting you know how delighted I am with saddle.

Fits fatty a treat & is the envy of the club.

I have forwarded your details on to my friend Skye, as we are struggling to fit her young horse & her with something comfortable for both.

I'll be promoting your saddles as much as I can!

Kind Regards,
Heritage Saddlery
Hi Matt


I have the saddle, and it is beautiful! The LS design is a wonderful way to work with the big shoulder. The saddle sits right behind the shoulder and doesn't slide back. Perfect design idea, I don't know why this hasn't become common is all makes of jumping saddles.

Hi Matt

I had a lovely message from Rona Frame telling me she has got her Icelandic saddle,
she sounds pleased with it after a bit of getting used to sitting in it and
her horse "loved it".
I was a bit worried that even though I was so pleased with my saddle, it
might not be the same for someone else, saddle buying is such a nightmare,
so nice to get feedback from her.
Sounds like you have got another happy customer, she made some very positive
comments about you and your service 🙂

Kind regards

Hi Matt,

I rode in my (LS) saddle today! It fits my horse like a glove. Amazing. I have never seen a saddle that molds to his shoulder so well. And it's VERY balanced; it probably helps that the saddle is balanced FOR MY HORSE! Even my friends with their $5000 saddles were impressed. 🙂



I just can't get over how balanced this saddle is. I saw even sweat marks after my ride - couldn't believe it...


With regards to the jump saddle...I am really torn! I have no doubt if I ordered from you the saddle will fit beautifully. I feel like I ought to ride in more jump saddles to better specify what I want, though. If I found a saddle that felt good to me...are you able to match it's design?

Thank you for your craftmanship and knowledge!

Hi Matt,

I was wondering if you could let me know the width of the slots on your plaited browband, full size.

By the way, I bought a custom made ying yang working hunter saddle from you in 2010 which still fits perfectly and looks amazing. I'm proud to show it off still despite being used 5 days a week and shown in.

Hi Matt. Yes, Alison says it’s OK to use the email (see below) I just thought you’d like to see the difference the saddle has made, not just to Alison’s ability to sit up but also the horse’s frame and ability to relax. Various people had told us that it was typical of the mare’s breeding and type that she was just a tad short and tense. She certainly wasn’t that way at this year’s nationals, and yet again they did the double, winning the championship dressage and the freestyle to music. The photo in trot is the before and the walk one is after.

Rode my young horse, Moogatti, in my two custom saddles from Heritage Bespoke Saddles & The Custom Made English Saddle Company, and he won the USEA New Event Horse Division at the FEH/YEH/NEH competition at Cedar Ridge. Thanks, Matt!

Hi Matt,

Just thought I'd let you know that I had judy McArther out to check the fitting of your saddle... She recommended you to me and was responsible for saddle size and the traces.

Your saddle fits PERFECTLY and she had to make no changes! Thank you very much for such a easy purchase process and a great result...

Thanks again!
