Replaced some much needed stirrup leathers on a race saddle.
Testimonial from Nuala, a client I teach Connected Riding too and has since bought a Connect saddle.
For 2 years I couldn't ride my horse due to pelvic problems.
At that time I hadn't realised, that the saddle and how I rode
were huge contributers to my problem.
I then discovered Connected Riding, with Hayleys amazing
teaching I discovered how to ride in balance with my horse.
The Connect Equine Saddle is designed to put the rider in balance with the horse. Importantly it is a saddle designed for a female pelvis .
The saddle fitting process was very focused on getting the
saddle right for horse and rider, it is then made for that
individual horse and rider.
The saddle is made of leather and is padded, which makes
riding in it very comfortable. I find that I sit very deep in the saddle, so if my horse shies, I don't seem to move, a definite bonus !
Perhaps the most important points for me are that my horse
and I are both more relaxed, I don't have to work at staying in
balance and my horse moves freely and I don't get any pain
Definitely worth the money !

I am delighted to be a Distributer for Connect Equine Ltd.
These Saddles were created with the intention of bringing biomechanically sympathetic and therapeutic products to the Equine market. All of our leather products are of a very high quality and hand made by Frank Baines Saddlery, one of the longest established families of traditional Saddle Makers in Walsall, England. Our signature product is our range of Connect Saddles.
Our saddles have been designed and developed specifically to support the biomechanics of both horse and rider and include the following features:
• Choice of ‘horse’ friendly trees to accommodate the broad U framed horses that require an open headed tree, through to A frame Thoroughbred type horses that require more support to their frame
• Choice of panel depths and materials to meet the individual needs of each horse
• Luxurious padded seats that offer a high level of comfort and have been specifically designed to facilitate the rider sitting in neutral pelvis/correct posture in the middle of the saddle
• Broad seats to accommodate seat bones and flexibility on twist to accommodate the width needs of the rider’s pelvis
• Leg flaps shaped to correctly accommodate the rider’s leg
• Adjustable knee blocks to provide support, rather than block and unbalance the rider
• Choice of leathers and materials providing the option to bespoke your saddle
• Option to include the exclusive Frank Baines adjustment system, which allows the width of the saddle to be adjusted without stretching and risking compromise to the tree
I am also able to offer high quality hand-made padded GP and Dressage girths; both straight and anatomical.
