“I wanted to share my story to say thanks, I am so pleased
with my new SMART Jump saddle.
I like to think that I have found my perfect 4 legged
partner in crime in Alvin my lovely ISH. I was lucky to find him locally
after deciding that new challenges were needed in the form of a new horse.
I’ve been fortunate enough to have had a previous Solution
saddle for 10 years which I have used on all my horses. My Highland & Welsh
were both very different in shape and using the Solution saddle made life
simple for me; with a change of pads for each of them and I was set to go.
It never even crossed my mind to go back to a tree’d saddle
for backing Alvin and I believe that using my RigidFree saddle is what made him
so easy to back.
When the time came to introduce jumping I knew that I
would need a suitable saddle to do the job. Alvin can be quite ‘bold’ so I
needed a saddle that would offer a very secure seat. I got in touch with my
local Solution Saddles Technical Advisor, Catie Baird, who was able to bring a selection
of saddles for me to try - and I was sorted with a new SMART Jump saddle that
afternoon!
My physio has commented on how beautifully balanced and soft
Alvins muscles are in his back, and when you see him cutting shapes when
playing in the field you know that he is happy and pain-free in his movement.
People on my yard are also surprised by how much RigidFree
saddles have changed over the years and like that the SMART Jump saddle looks
like a traditional saddle - now I just have to save up for my dressage saddle
next year J
You certainly get what you pay for from Solution Saddles and
I joke that my new SMART Jump saddle cost more than my sofa - but I spend more
time sitting on my saddle!
Now to go out and start winning some ribbons!
Thanks Solution Saddles for challenging the norm and
offering an alternative to tree’d saddles.
