Our Story
We specialise in saddles, saddle fitting and leatherwork. Our Saddle fitting team consists of two fully qualified SMS saddle fitters with over 35 years of experience between them. We pride ourselves on offering professional, unbiased advise and it is our mission to find the best fit solution for the horse and rider, whether that entails adjusting an existing saddle or fitting a new saddle to horse & rider. Many of our customers are repeat clients who appreciate our professional approach and many new clients come to us through other equine professionals or word of mouth.
We are approved stockists and fitters for many of the leading saddle brands including Prestige, Fairfax, Equipe, Bates, Ideal, Kent & Masters to name a few. We have a great selection of both new & secondhand saddles, for both the professional and amateur rider.
Our saddle fitting service is available at our premises at John O Gaunt, where we have a good sized menage, a showroom displaying all our saddles and an on-site workshop OR if you are located within a 35 mile radius we can visit you at your premises.
If you would like to visit our showroom and discuss saddles please make an appointment in advance as we are often out fitting, with saddles in tow!
Our workshop offers a made to measure bridlework service along with a general repair service. Dave, who runs the workshop, is a highly skilled craftsman and has made bridles that have travelled to the Olympics, door handles for well know leather goods retailers, belts and new knife sheaths as just part of his repertoire. He makes a range of our own leatherwork which includes bridles, martingales, breastplates, stirrup leathers and girths. Our own made leatherwork is well known in the local area for its quality and durability.
As well as our own Milners leatherwork we also stock a small selection of quality accessories - stirrups, stirrup leathers, girths, bridles, breastplates and martingales from Fairfax, Albion, Schockemohle and Prestige which are on display in our showroom.
