About Us
Lauren and Matt make regular trips to the UK, Ireland, and Canada to continue their education and to stay up to date on any brand changes and product advancements. We also regularly set up at shows within our service area. If you have a show where you think our booth would be welcome, let us know! We love to meet folks and educate about saddle fitting and tack!
Lauren is a Society of Master Saddlers Saddlery Apprentice. As part of her apprenticeship she is a trained and skilled saddle fitter. The SMS apprenticeship program lasts 7 years. Lauren will complete the process by 2026 hopefully.
Lauren makes tack and repairs all brands of tack. She also helps clients find the best used saddles for their money, whatever their budget. And Lauren sells 4 brands of new saddles to clients who need or want something customized or specific. Those brands are Albion, Berney Brothers of Ireland, Bliss of London/Loxley, and Passier. Lauren also recommends a variety of products (Leather care, half pads, stirrups, leather goods, and bridles) that she has in stock or can order for clients at very reasonable prices.
