Lynette-Tas (second hand saddle sold by Peter Horobin) May 2008

Thank you ever so much for the lovely saddle it is beautiful. I am
wrapped.. My coach says it improves my posture and makes life happier for the horse. I used to have a lean to the left which the horse (bless him) compensated but gave him a little back ache. Not so
now. Thanks again......Lynette

Hi Guys,

Just a quick email to let you know my saddle arrived safely yesterday morning (Thursday).  I used it that morning.  Even though it's a brand new saddle, it feels so comfortable. I like the fact that you sit in it, not on it. I absolutely love it.  I'm thrilled with the craftsmanship also, it's a beautiful looking well made saddle.  I'm sure my horse appreciates it as well, a saddle made to fit, what more can a horse ask for.  Thank you so much, I'm the envy of the whole equestrian park.  I would highly recommend a Peter Horobin saddle to anyone wanting to purchase one.

Regards,

Melanie

Thank you.

The saddle is AMAZING.....so much so it has its own fan club!  I kid you not.
(It has really freed up the horse’s shoulder and the horse moves so much better!)

Cheers

Suzanne and her horse Calypso!-NSW (new liberty) July 2008

Dear Peter & Staff,

Well it has been just over 10days since I started riding in my beautiful new saddle and I am really glad to let you know that I am absolutely thrilled with it and so is Calypso and his back.
During the week my instructor asked if she could have a ride in the saddle and after a while she commented to me that I had done the best possible thing for my horse and that my decision and conviction to have a custom made’ Peter Horobin PH Liberty Saddle’ was definitely the right path to take. Hooray how good is that a happy horse, a happy rider and a happy instructor.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your wonderful staff for taking into consideration my situation and angst over the whole saddle issue by completing my saddle in the most efficient time and also for your care and consideration with reassuring me that things would work out perfectly with a 100% guarantee .
 It has been a pleasure dealing with you and your Peter Horobin Team and I will be recommending your business to my many friends and acquaintances in the horse world , some of whom have already commented on what wonderful workmanship and quality that has gone into my saddle and how much happier my horse looks already.

I am very grateful , thankyou so much.

Kindest Regards

Suzanne Manion & Calypso

I'm very impressed with the performance of the Ogilvy Horse saddle cloth (Sereno TopRide dressage) I bought from you recently. I find it rare these days for products to live up to many of the claims made by the manufacturer, but the Sereno TopRide actually excelled my expectations!
I can't believe how much the friction rubbing on my ponies coat was reduced. His coat (long winter coat) was not roughed up at all and the sweat marks were perfectly even and not sodden or foamy like I often find with traditional pads or cloths.
I also noticed how much better the pad fit due to the wither shaped front. It's not just a “shaped pad” it is a “wither and back shaped pad”. My saddle just slipped into the right spot behind his shoulder and off we went – no fiddling needed to get it right.

My PH Close Contact Dressage saddle on top of the Ogilvy Horse Sereno TopRide pad is a match made in heaven!

I am writing to thank you for your generous sponsorship at the Treehaven Competition yesterday the 14th Oct. I had a great day and placed 1st in the 5.3 and 2cnd in the Prix St Georges with personal best scores. I did not look in my envelopes until I got home and with great delight found I have $100 to spend at your lovely shop!

So thank you once again and I look forward to shopping!

A belated thank you for such an enjoyable and informative couple of days last week when you came out to Longreach.   I really enjoyed the chance to meet you and have my wonderful Close Contact saddle checked.  Everyone I have spoken to that had the chance to attend,  enjoyed the couple of days.  Those who missed out are sorry that they could not get here.

A million thanks Peter for all your help and explaining so much to us. I really appreciated it and learnt so much.

Hi Peter….LOVE the new saddle, it is instantly super comfy and both horse and rider are thrilled!

Helen Guy - Victoria
'I would like to thank you sincerely for refitting my saddle, the difference that just a little extra stuffing made to stop my saddle bridging is just amazing both to the feel for me to ride in and the movement of my horse. This has taught me a big lesson - have my saddle refitted by an expert every twelve months for the sake of my horse and myself. Thanks heaps for your service and the confidence I have in your ability. My Amazone is a saddle I can ride in comfortably for hours. Thanks Peter'.

Shaneen Elliot - Victoria

"I write to express my grateful thanks for the magnificent saddle you have made for me. It was wonderfully comfortable and a perfect fit. I admire your superb craftsmanship and quality of materials."

Lyn Newbury - New South Wales
" Thank you so much for my new Amazone, I knew it would be good, but I wasn't prepared for the extent of the changes on both myself and my horse. my comment after my first ride was that this is truly an awesome saddle! When you sent my saddle you wished me happy riding. Well, thanks to you it will be! The Amazone is a testament to your innovative and quality craftsmanship."

Anne-Marie Duthie - South Australia
" Thank you to everyone at Peter Horobin Saddlery that made my beautiful Amazone Saddle. I know for a fact my horse adores the diamond girth, no more grumpy horse when the girth is tightened."

Di Barnes - New South Wales
"I am the new proud owner of the Peter Horobin saddle, thank you for the wonderful job you did of fitting the saddle and to say it certainly exceeded my expectations. I have looked around for a couple of years and different saddles on the market and tried quite a few. When my saddle arrived I was amazed at the way it just settled in the perfect position. It still sits in the perfect position before, during and after our work."

Corinne Normington - Victoria
" Just letting you know that the saddle that you made for our pony is fabulous. The fit is wonderful and the pony's back has returned to normal, (just shows what a saddle that doesn't fit can do) it has made a remarkable difference and my horse is also going so much better."

Jan Eastwell - Queensland
"Thanks Peter for your advice, we were not convinced with what the chiropractor said (usually very accurate however did not see saddle on horse) regarding the fitting of your saddle. We sorted after a second opinion from another chiropractor who thought the problem may have been an electrolyte imbalance as according to him the first place this can show up is in the back muscles as they dehydrate. After another opinion the saddle was fine and the horse was out in the coupling. Thank you for your help in this matter, we will keep you informed as we try to work out what is going on with the horse."
The above is clearly an example of a case of the saddle being first to blame however it is not always the saddle!
