Saddle4You.Co.NZ
Saddle4You has been created after years of passion
for saddles! I have always loved them! One of my friends when
I was a teenager, went to Walsall to train as a master saddler &
in those days I remember sitting watching him, fascinated as he crafted
his very own saddle! All
his bridles
were hand made too! Incidentally he now owns one of the largest
saddleries in the UK, and has literally hundreds of saddles in his wonderful
converted stable block. I always call in when I am visiting home to sit &
stare in wonder, breathing in that heady smell of English Leather, at
these lovely creations!
So, having great
contacts in the UK
I
have sourced quite a number of saddles for clients here and I discovered
the major compaint from them was that "it is hard to find a good selection
of saddles in one place that I can try without pressure and
at reasonable prices!"
My own experience of shopping around
picking up a possibility here & trying another there, the hours
of travelling around looking fruitlessly, not to mention the picking up
& returning of the ones that
didn't fit (if you have ever bought a saddle you will know what
I mean!!).
Many people have been sold saddles which dont
actually fit, they have parted with thousands of dollars and got a horse
which has developed bucking fits & the seller isn't
interested.
Then
there
are the online auction sites which for the most part
are a fantastic market place for lots of items, but when you have finished staying
up late to try and be the bidder who wins their dream saddle, you are
either outbid (which drives you crazy!!) or it arrives usually as described but
doesn’t fit your horse, or sometimes not even as described! You face the
next few weeks facing an almost impossible challenge to find one that fits
your horse whilst also trying to resell the rejects!
So I
wanted to
create a great new positive informed way of buying a preowned
saddle
& I hope that is what SADDLE4YOU can be.
It is my main
objective that all my customers & their horses are
happy from beginning to end with the help, service, &
saddle that they end up with, that
you don’t feel let down or out of pocket & most importantly you would be confident
to recommend & shop again with
SADDLE4YOU.
Thanks very much for
visiting!
