We have also made hound couples and show leads as well as breed-specific hunting dog collars and everyday custom dog collars with brass identification plates.

     “Spa Treatment” for your tack

Recognizing that not everyone has the time or ability to look 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.

Saddle Re-stuffing $250.00
