WELL known saddlery expert, Sue Carson is to visit Ireland for a week from April 17 to 25, bringing her wealth of expertise to the region.

Sue is highly regarded throughout the UK for her range of saddles and bridles and the fitting technique both herself and the team have developed.

Said Sue: “I am delighted to be visiting Ireland again and hope to see as many people as possible, wanting advice and help with ensuring their saddles fit well so their horses perform at their best.

“Planning ahead and making sure you are prepared for the season ahead is crucial.  There have been so many developments in saddle manufacture and design and I am looking forward to explaining recent advances during my visit.”

Sue will be visiting Joan Adrain in Newtownabbey, County Antrim and Stephen Smith at his yard in Gilford as well as visiting the Tyrella one day event on April 17.

During her stay Sue will also be teaching and is highly regarded as both a trainer and competitor.  Sue competes internationally at small tour and is a list 2A judge.

Added Sue: “My aim is to help riders and their horses find the right saddle that meets all their requirements. The greatest reward is a comfortable horse that is going better than before, at any level, whether hacking or top level competing.”
