Yes! All of our saddles are built on wood lamiated trees which can be narrowed or widen by your fitter on site at your appointment. The air flocking system also allows for a fit and a halves worth of adjustment meaning the saddles are very adjustable. They can even be moved between horses!

All of our saddles are made on traditional wood laminated tree. The leather is sourced from high quality tanneries, we use Italian Calf and Olympia leather.

On the majority of our saddles the serial number is stamped on the inside of the flap. It is often a four digit number. 

If you are unable to find your serial number just get in touch.

Flair creates a gaseous and totally flexible layer in your saddle. 

This removes pressure points and increases the sensitivity of the horse to your lower back aids whilst also providing shock absorption for the horse when jumping or engaged in sitting trot (gases can be compressed whilst liquids, gels and solids cannot).

Flair allows your horse to move naturally as the muscles of the back and shoulder are no longer restricted by your saddle's panel.

Flair is more comfortable for both horse and rider and provides the following benefits:

Gives your horse greater comfort by...

- Removing the pressure points of your saddle.

- Increasing the bearing surface offered by the saddle's panel.

- Continually flexing and moulding to the horse's shape as the back and shoulder muscles work unrestricted.

- Absorbing impact shock from the rider.

- Increasing ventilation by negating the need for the use of a numnah.

Benefits the rider by...

- Increasing the sensitivity of the lower back and seat aides so providing a closer feel between horse rider.

- Requiring no alteration or maintenance on regular basis.

- Absorbs jarring shock to the rider's lower back.

Start by wiping your saddle over with a tepid damp sponge to remove any hard dirt and sweat. Leave the leather to dry naturally and apply your Sue Carson Saddles Leather Balm sparingly with a dry sponge. For added shine buff with a clean cloth or soft brush. 

Monitor your saddle for any signs of wear and tear, cracks and loose stitching.

Store in a dry place away from heat, sunlight and damp. Hang on a saddle rack or pole without stacking saddles on top of each other. Store with a cover on and use stirrup covers to prevent the stirrups marking the flaps. If the saddle gets wet allow to dry naturally away from heat. 

Yes, we do sell second hand saddles. These include dressage, show, jump and GP saddles. Head over to our second hand page to check out some of our second hand stock.

We have a wide variety of second hand saddles. They are all checked over and are in great working order, some show a little more signs of wear than others and others may be ex demo stock. 

Unfortunatley the second hand saddles cannot be customised. They can be fully adjusted to fit your horse, you just can't change the colours or the blocks. 

We like Sue Carson Saddles to be available to everyone, whatever your budget. Our prices reflect the current condition of the saddles. If in the future you would like to upgrade this saddle to a new one this is a possibility. 

Yes we do. If you are looking to sell your Sue Carson Saddle please send us some photos of the saddle, including the serial, so we can value it for you. 

Yes if you change your mind and decide you want your saddle returning we can return your saddle to you. If you want your saddle returning there will be a charge to cover the return postage for your saddle. 

Yes, you have complete choice of colours and finishes on every part of your saddle. From stitch colour, to unique leathers for a personalised cantle to welt and crystals, the choice is yours!

Once you have booked your saddle fitting, you will be able to try as many combinations as you and your fitter think necessary in order to find the perfect saddle for you and your horse. Your horse will tell you which they prefer!

From the date of order to delivery and fitting of your new bespoke saddle it is around 4-6 weeks. In some cases we can get the saddle to you sooner and will try our best to get it to you for a particular event if you have something coming up in the diary. 

Yes, the saddles are built on wood lamiated trees which can be narrowed or widen by your fitter. 

Every horse is different. They are all in different amounts of work and have different managment routines so weight and muscle will flutuate different effecting the saddles balance. 

The Society of Master Saddlers recommend to have your saddle refitting every 3-4 months. We have customers that have their saddles checked every 2 months and others that we see anually.

No, the bladders are sealed off using a soft sealing gel and a bung so the gel cannot escape and deflate when ridden. 

Yes, the air system is specifically designed to be fitted whilst you are in the saddle. This enables us to do a real time fitting to ensure the optimal fit for both you and your horse.
