Martin Wilkinson was introduced to us when we bought our first horse and pony some 12 years ago and he fitted both with great saddles - one of which we still have and it fits my third horse. This saddle is a Buffalo leather Dressage Saddle and it is the most comfortable saddle we have ever had - so much so we ordered a Black GP saddle in Buffalo leather which is what Welton Archer was ridden in at Search for a Star. Not only did Martin help with the saddle, he advised us on a pre-HOYS check of the bridle, reins and saddle which obviously helped us do so well! I would recommend Martin Wilkinson to anyone as the service is excellent and the care and time that Martin takes in fitting a saddle correctly shows that a saddle can last a long time as ours have!

He did me a dressage saddle for a very wide short backed cob and managed to design it so my backside fits in it too, quite an achievement. Made to measure and well below budget.

Two riders at the yard (having been blessed with very small bottoms) have the Cygnet's and recommend them.

hi everyone,i just thought id write a thankyou and let everyone know that if you cant get a saddle to fit your horse then get martin wilkinson out to you.
i had a mare that her saddle slipped forward,had different saddlers and many a saddle to no avail,however martin managed to fit her a saddle so its stayed put.my other boy was another awkward fitting and he worked miracles with it.
So message to everyone if you think you cant get saddle to fit your horse go to martin hes was fab xx

Thank you lucylou - much appreciated.

I would just like to say I had a training session in the new saddle last night and my horses' way of going has instantly improved. She was happy and relaxed throughout. Thank you!
Thanks so much to Kate and Kirsty in the workshop, I am very pleased with the flock alteration to my saddle and my horse is now going so much better. Big thank you!!
Thank you so much, my new saddle is really great and Jon and I really love it. He now goes so much better and is able to lift his back with ease - we have achieved scores of over 70% in our last competitions and great comments from the judges!
I really appreciate the support Martin is giving me. Having to ‘make do’ for much of my professional career; it is only since riding in equipment from Martin that I realise what a difference it makes. If you want to transform your performance, then I suggest you contact Martin – his experience and professionalism will help you gain the results you need”.

Many thanks to Berry and her Team for a great saddle fitting experience. Paddywack, my Irish Draught x TB was not the easiest to fit. We both needed more support from our new saddle, with the help of Berry and after several visits we have found that and much more in our brand new GP Prestige saddle. We both think its absolutely fab.

We got a 3rd and a 5th in our first dressage competition - the Kieffer Piet, expertly recommended, fitted and adjusted, certainly helped - and looked great! - Issy
