FAQ

Our FAQ will answer many of your
questions and identify what type your
horse is and solutions we can offer……

comment Could a different saddle help?
I have a good horse, take regular lessons and
would love to get back to competing but I just
don’t seem to be improving.
comment What constitutes an average medium fit?
My horse looks quite normal - not wide, not
narrow - I’ve sent for trial saddles but they are
not working. WHY?
comment Is my Horse an Extra Wide? 
The saddle is supposed to be a Wide but it is sitting far too high and no matter what we try everything moves at the back and rolls.   This horse is showing great promise jumping so I need a forward cut jumping saddle
Please look at these photos.   What is going wrong?

Testimonials

quoteGreat news - won highest points jump cup - gone from 65cms to 1.15 oxers!  Fantastic saddle for us both - tension and muscle loss on horse's back have disappeared.  Thank you"  Gail -  Hawkes Bay

"Thank you Katie for all the magic you worked with my old saddle  and thank you for not trying to force me into a new saddle- the horse is so much better and I'm in balance.   I shall have to try and save up for one of those beautiful NSC saddles now!" Tracey - Hamilton

Just wanted to say that the pony is now going brilliantly - we won the Junior Dressage Title -    the pony has really turned a corner and is at last starting to work from behind!  Lucy - Hawkes Bay

Thank you Katie and National Saddle centre, I'm loving my new Aotearoa MkII FBK As soon as I tried it on Don Qudos I noticed a difference, Pedro's obviously enjoying it too as he's moving superbly and continues to get better and better.  Karen Anderson
