Sue Rudler started Saddle4You around 14 years ago after years of passion for saddles! I have always loved them!
As well as all our Preloved saddles, we are the NZ Importers of Harry Dabbs Saddles - a relationship which has been built up over the last 12 years.
I love the quality of these saddles & the fit is second to non - especially as we offer a 'Made to Measure' Service at the same price as an 'off the shelf' saddle - why wouldnt you use this service!
A Company who work to better the comfort & performance of the horse & rider and have many patented inventions Harry Dabbs are hard to beat.
Saddle4you work mostly on a refferal basis - our philosophy is not to have the glossiest advert or be the biggest company - we dont do lots of advertising or run lots of Trade Stands - this also helps to keep our saddle cost down & support our clients better. We work on a 'quality not quantity' basis! I work hard to educate our clients so that they understand the how & why the saddle fits, or not!
Personally I trained as a BHSII, until recently a List 4 Dressage Judge - trying to ride more now! I competed in the UK to Intermediate Horse Trials, Foxhunter level Show Jumping, and worked in both Eventing & Showjumping and Hunting yard. I have many years experience as an energy healer & with Aromatherapy for horses.
In NZ have a lovely level 3 Dressage Horse along with a couple of younger horses. Shares in 2 Show Jumpers Zactac Night & Day and Zactac Carnival being ridden by Helen Ensor. We are doing a little breeding this year too!
I wanted to create a great new, positive, informed way of buying a preowned or new saddle & I hope that is what SADDLE4YOU can be. It is my main objective that my customers & their horses are happy from beginning to end with the help, service, & saddle that they end up with, that you dont feel let down or out of pocket & most importantly you would be confident to recommend & shop again with SADDLE4YOU.
Thanks very much for visiting and I look forward to meeting you soon!
