Moving onto the discipline specific SMART PRO Dressage and Jump saddles as they moved up the grades and Robbie grew, his mother Helen said, "All of our ponies and horses have worked correctly through their back due to the SMART PRO saddles they have been ridden in. The balance allows Robbie to stay in a lovely correct position while the horses are soft and free. Can’t recommend the saddles enough."

Robbie now uses the SMART Elite Jump saddle for Eventing.

“The SMART Saddles give great balance for the rider but also great freedom of movement for the horses. Their backs all look amazing. I don’t understand why everyone doesn’t use them.”
