You were a huge help to me when I was making a big decision – long distance – re the saddle and your specialised knowledge and advice was absolutely essential for me to make the investment – which proved to be so successful and worked so well for me and Merlin.

I just wanted to say a big thank you for such speedy delivery and process of my order. I am really happy with my goods. I was informed that my order had been confirmed and when it had been shipped which is customer care that I have not received from all online horsey websites. The goods are of great quality and I will definitely be purchasing from you again. Thanks again.

It was lovely to meet you, and I actually enjoyed what was a very informative session. I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed a saddle fitting before – – in my experience they are usually exercises in progressive frustration! So thanks for that.

After many enquiries to other non responsive suppliers in UK I found Bettersaddles, and a Better Service! Prompt response to email enquiry followed by a helpful telephone conversation and items arrived within 48 hrs which meant I could have that long awaited ride on my youngster. Thank you Mariaana I would recommend you for your 5* service.

I am so pleased that I made the decision to contact Mariaana at Better Saddles to help me purchase my first treeless saddle. She was very helpful and always quick to reply to my emails. From placing the order to putting the saddle on my pony was less than 2 weeks and I am so pleased with it. I have a feeling that this won’t be he last order I place with Better Saddles! Thanks again.

I went for a 3 hour hack in the saddle on Sunday and it’s fab. My pony is definitely really happy in it and it is really comfy for longer rides.

Really pleased!
