Hi John

I oiled my saddle and went for a short ride this afternoon on my chestnut gelding QH. We only went out for about 5kms, but had a few good long trots about 500m in length. He was really relaxed and happy in it, no tinkering steps, so it is not restricting his shoulders at all. I felt really secure and confident, I would have gone longer but it was nearly dusk buy the time I got organized, so had to turn around and come home, as the block is 14kms.

This is the first time in ages that I have gone out on my own, and I also felt confident trotting on a loose rein. Of late I have needed the security of contact at the trot, but this time all my trots were on a loose rein. We even had a couple of strides of canter, and I didn’t freak and just asked him to go back to trot!!

I am going on a trail ride tomorrow Mt Pleasant to Tungkillo (approx 15kms) with a riding group, so will see how he goes on a longer ride, but I am sure he will be fine.

Can’t believe I have found a half breed saddle that fits my hard to fit horse (as I was told that I would probably have to get a custom made saddle for him).

Thanks again. You are right it is a confidence booster.

Regards

Gina
 

Dear John,
 
I received the saddle and my horses like it as well as I. Your web site advice and your tack continue to impress me. I am also so glad to hear that Mrs. Horseproblems is getting back on her feet. I am sure that there is a world of prayers sent her way. Certainly from myself and my family.
 
About the saddle, I would highly recommend them. My very hard to fit Arab wears it just fine. It also fits several other  different size horses that I am working with. It seams to me that poor construction quality coupled with artificial needs of specific disciplines has put allot of bad saddles on the market. Yours on the other hand has matched good horsemanship with good quality. I would say that your saddle is great for tough horses in good conditions, and great for good horses in tough conditions, and what I want with a tough horse in tough conditions.
 
Sincerely

Hi John,

Received the saddle and other tack. I have to say, this saddle is superb! I have used it on three of my horses and it's great. I love it! I know now why you make such comments about working green horses and breakers in an English or dressage saddle. There is no comparison to the security and comfort that your saddle brings. I had a mare shy on me while using your saddle for the first time and I didn't feel a thing, no loss of balance and therefore no loss of timing, was able to carry on unfazed. If i had been in my dressage or all-purpose I would have needed some time to get centered again.

I recommend this saddle to EVERYONE that is riding in an English or dressage saddle for pleasure or for training. HP knows what he's talking about!

Another thing I'd like to mention, to all those ladies over 40 that may be suffering from loss of confidence.

Firstly, GET ONE OF HP'S SADDLES. This saddle will give you security where your English saddles do not. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

Hi Mr HP

I thought I would send a short message to let you know how happy I am with my new saddle.

My boy Dan has always been tense for a short while when saddled. I usually walk him some distance ,
gradually tightening the girth as we go, before mounting.

I am rapt to say that we have now ridden in the saddle about 8 times & there has been no feeling of him tensing.
He moves off with a regular rythm & a big strong walk straight after being saddled. He is a different horse.

I'm feeling pretty comfy & secure too.


Cheers
Leanne

Hi John



Just wanted to let you know that the saddle arrived safely and was unwrapped with much excitement and care. It now sits on the back of our couch as I can’t bear to put it in the shed with the others. I am getting the most out of the new leather smell and looking at it everyday.



I’ve ridden in it several times already and I thought it might take a bit of getting used to, like most saddles would, but no it is the most comfortable saddle I’ve ever sat in. The quality of the leather is unreal, I haven’t seen leather like that in over 10 years and was starting to think I may never see it again.



I have attached a photo of me in the saddle on my thoroughbred mare Duchess. I thought I would not put the back girth on for the first ride and let her get used to the straps hanging down, I needn’t of worried as she was fine with them and then the girth the next day. Please excuse my closed eyes, oh and yes I know my stirrups were too long, I had already adjusted them once and we were only walking so couldn’t be bothered getting off to do them again. She’s a big horse to climb onto. Feel free to post this letter and photo on your website.



We had a trail ride at our property on the weekend and everyone got to see the saddle and all commented on how nice it is.



Anyway enough dribble from me, just wanted to thank you so much for the great saddle and for getting it to me so quickly. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase.

Gday John saddle whent really well!God it puts you in the perfect position!Almost like cheating.Reckon would be lots more comfortable for horse.No gith marks that got with stocksadle.Thought there would be a d ring on girth so i just tied /made a loop type not to put off side girth srtap in to begin pulley system.Sooo much better than fighting to find o hole thats never in the right position[no jokes please]Yeah you can adjust it any subtle amount,good stuff.Felt as if could really feel his back ie up down at walk and round /sucking pu under me in canter.I swear after only 3 days his shape is more sleek yet muscly[is that a word?]Before he was starting to get a real chunky look especially at front of hind quarter,now hind end looks longer but with muscle definition.I believe it is because he is going round in circle work with more sort of bounce .Just feels lighter and easier!Closer to riding bareback.Once youve been in one of these could never go back.Obviously the weight distribution is so much better for them[horses],if they could talk they would all be telling humans to only use fender saddles!Cheers Michael
