“Spa Treatment”

after their tack the way they should, we offer this exclusive
treatment to our customers. It includes giving your saddlery
items a thorough cleaning then a deep conditioning with
our Rider’s Choice® harness oil or Pro-Trainer saddle food, as
necessary, and finally a hand-rubbed finish with our Rider’s
Choice® saddle soap all in the warmth of our shop. During this
time we can check for repairs that might be needed if you wish.
Please call ahead and make an appointment for this service so
that we can give you the fastest turnaround time possible.

Saddle Care |
|
For the comfort of both the horse and rider, we offer
“saddle fitting” and “saddle re-stuffing” services. Through
our years of experience with horses and saddle construction,
we have gained much knowledge of how saddles can affect
the performance of both parties involved.
If you are experiencing difficulties between you and
your horse that could possibly be due to a problem with the
fit of your saddle, we ask that you call us to discuss it. We
then will set up an appointment to come to your riding
facility and check the fit of your saddle both on your horse at
a standstill and while you ride. As necessary, we will advise
you as to whether or not the saddle you are currently using is
suitable for your horse or whether repairs or replacement
may be required. The charge for this service is dependent on
the time needed to assess saddle fit.

Saddle Fitting (local area) |
$40.00-60.00/horse |
|
|
(over 20km away from our shop, a traveling cost will be added) |

The wool “flocking” used in the panels of some types
of saddles, is a natural fibre which will periodically need to
be replaced due to compaction and matting within the
panels. In our shop, we do this by removing all the old
stuffing and replace it with new wool. During this procedure,
the underneath leather of the panel, normally inaccessible to
the owner, is also cleaned and conditioned to maintain it’s
suppleness. Great care is taken when inserting the new wool
to ensure the fit of the saddle remains as it was or is newly
adjusted to suit the horse as required. By re-stuffing your
saddle, when necessary, you will maintain or increase the
comfort both for your horse and yourself.
