A little about me

I’m Helen, and I have been involved with horses for over 40 years. Having owned 5 horses over the years and helped out at a racing yard and a couple of riding schools, I am used to dealing with nervous and sensitive horses and youngsters.

I came across the Saddle Company saddles when I was looking to get one for my mare, as she had problems with her back due to lower ringbone, a damaged suspensory ligament and degenerative joint disease in both hocks. She also had muscle wastage because of this.

I found this saddle to be the perfect solution. As she changed shape, the saddle could be adjusted to fit, and the flocking underneath could be adjusted as she developed due to the nature of the saddles.

She was no longer cold backed and had symmetry in her muscle. It has been a gradual change, but at 20 years old, she looked the best she had ever been!

I am an approved independent fitter of The Saddle Company saddles, and I’m heavily involved with them. I can personally collect your new Saddle Company saddle and fit it for you. I have been fitting their saddles for clients for the past 20 years.

It is recommended that the saddles are serviced at least every 6 months. However, some may require servicing sooner if it is a remedial fit due to the horse’s age or previous issues.

I can do most of the flocking onsite and also alterations to the width. In addition, I can flock and adjust the saddle on-site, so you don’t have to be inconvenienced by the saddle being taken away.

I can also provide help and advice on other makes of saddles regarding the fitment and condition of them.

I can get all makes of saddles repaired whilst also providing the girths, stirrup leathers, leather feed, knee blocks, and saddle covers. So feel free to contact me today.

I highly recommend Helen, she visited me this morning to bring me my new dressage saddle! With my mare recovering and being in rehab from Kissing spine, Helen took the full history first before making a recommendation, she always has a high wither, we had chatted on the phone and via Facebook prior. Knowing Purdey is likely to continue to change shape having something that can be adjusted is really important to me, along with it being light and clear of her spine for her back issues! and safe to say I am delighted with my new saddle! When Helen next comes out to check the saddle, we might even invest in a new jump saddle!
Thanks a lot Helen, I look forward to seeing you soon!

Have just had Helen our to fit my horse that has been neglected and who’s shape is very challenging and after 7 months is ready to be ridden. The Saddle was provided by the Saddle Company organised all by Helen (Foxy Doxy Saddle company ) . The service is second to none extremely efficient within my budget and excellent value for money complete with fitting . All of the fitting care is explained and documented fitting care instructions given and any support I needed . The whole package from start to finish was exceptional and I highly recommend this company to anyone . Helen knows her stuff is very precise extremely knowledgeable and I trusted her implicitly. My horse can now be brought into work and I can rest assured his back is not going to be compromised and have booked in my saddle checks to maintain his well being going forward .. Thank you ?
