    Horse not cantering - Saddle advice?

    Last year, my horse (who LOVED jumping) stopped being able to jump. She would just come back to a walk/trot and side-step the fence. We later found out that our horse had changed shape and needed a new saddle. We finally got a new one in April and everything was great. A couple of months ago...

    Black Country Equinox?

    Anyone have a BC Equinox? I have a Vinici dressage at the moment but the long knee block doesn’t work for my long femur. I am intrigued by the Equinox because it seems to have a similar shape to the Vinici with a slightly more forward flap and a short thigh block. I’d appreciate any...

    Treeless saddle fitting?

    Pony needs a new saddle, he’s seriously lacking top line (prominent dips either side of his withers too) with very high withers. We don’t expect him to be able to build up too much muscle over his top line now because he has cushings. Just want him to be comfortable for hacking and light...

    Hi all, I have had nothing but saddle issues for the last year and I have recently decided to look into a M2M or similar for my cob.
