25.01.2022 StrideFree Melbourne Jump Saddles

25.01.2022 How many saddles does it take to change a light-bulb?Technically none! BUT to have that Light-Bulb Moment, in a StrideFree saddle that is the one thing you should do for your horse and yourself. Nothing wrong with and nothing better than seeing and learning more about saddles. It is the seeing, feeling, riding in a StrideFree saddle that gives you the peace of mind of what is happening for your horse under saddle. Feel free to enquire about riding in a StrideFree Saddle

24.01.2022 Heading out to Colac, Snake Valley and Stawell area this week, really looking forward to helping more wonderful horse riders learn and feel what the StrideFree saddles are like to ride in. #alwaysridestridefree #lesliephsaddlefitter #lesliegreaterwesternvic #lovestridefreesaddles

24.01.2022 Always so good to hear from other professionals and their experiences with the StrideFree saddles, the results for the sake of the horses is so important. Let the results speak for your horse too!

24.01.2022 Sharing these fabulous pics of the PH StrideFree Pilbara Halfbreed saddle in full work in Montana USA - A great test and testament for this saddle!

23.01.2022 A timely reminder looking at the StrideFree tree sitting on top of each of the standard tree-point styles of saddle trees shown below. Your horse never has to be subjected to the restrictive nature of tree-points ever again when fitted to a StrideFree saddle of your choice.

23.01.2022 Feel free to share this great service of the Agistment Finder - Permanent Agistment, Holiday Agistment worth checking out and sharing

22.01.2022 My Elite Demo Dressage Saddle -the most popular StrideFree Dressage saddle sold in Europe. A mono-flap with adjustable Knee rolls on the outside giving the rider an extremely close contact with the horse #lesliephsaddlefitter #leslieStrideFreesaddlefitter #loveStrideFreeElite #alwaysStrideFree #lesliegreaterwesternvic #greaterwesternvicregionsaddlefitter

21.01.2022 Had to share this lovely shout-out from the UK about the PH StrideFree saddles, you never know until you try!

18.01.2022 Did you know the StrideFree Dressage Range can be Show Ring friendly, simply ask for the PHS buttons to be covered. Last year it was so good to see the Kitzbuhel was such a hit at Barastoc HOTY

Very soft Italian Leather Purchased brand new 2014. Has the adapt-a-tree with rear-facing tree points that wont impact the scapula cartilage or retraction of the scapula.... Gullet is currently fairly wide, but easily adjusted and has wool flocking. Saddle is for sale due to horse suffering an injury, saddle is sitting around doing nothing in extremely good condition! $2,000.00 unmounted See more

17.01.2022 Ummm...which one? The Merrijig or Pilbara both fabulously on the StrideFree Tree #lesliephsaddlefitter #lovestridefreesaddles #lesliegreaterballaratregion #alwaysstridefree

16.01.2022 Working with the amazing adjustability of the StrideFree saddles is a win-win - 100% for your horse, which in-turn is 100% for the rider in so many ways!

15.01.2022 No horse needs to be in a triangular shaped gullet anymore, the weight distribution of this comes down through the tree-points pinpointing the pressure behind the Scapula. Curved open gullets with no tree-points are so generous and kinder to you horses shoulders, back and therefore an overall functional biomechanic. Open out the shoulders, open their true movement

15.01.2022 StrideFree saddles could be called ShoulderFree saddles or ScapulaFree saddles. A freer moving front end of your horse enables the hindquarters to come through and do their job, the abdominals engaging much easier, also enabling the topline to develop therefore the kinetic chain functioning at its best!

14.01.2022 Had to share this and add.....the gear we put on our horses will either compliment and empower the relationship or it will be the slow demise to a life of discomfort leading to dysfunction and a misunderstanding of why your horse is not going as well as you hoped. Thinking about the 'whole' horse is imperative to achieve the balance of what we ask of them. Enquire about StrideFree Saddles as a huge tick off the list for your horses freedom to move correctly under saddle as pain free as possible. #lesliephsaddlefitter #lesliecertifiedphsaddlefitter #lovestridefreesaddles #alwaysstridefree #lesliegreaterwesternvic #thinkaboutthewholehorse

14.01.2022 Spring is coming! Time to assess your current saddle & book an appointment to test-ride a StrideFree saddle. With the StrideFree of your choice on your horses back, you will never look back!

13.01.2022 Muscle Strain, Muscle Injury, Muscle Compensation can all lead to constant compensation within your horses body, the one thing that is often overlooked or taken for granted is the way a saddle should fit your horse, & better than you ever imagined! This is of course imperative to the way their muscles are designed to work. Lets not forget the one thing that moves your horses skeleton; it is the muscular-tendinous system. Reducing so many of the common saddle dysfunctional traits are the StrideFree Saddles. Feel free to make contact to enquire about these fabulous saddles !

12.01.2022 Jumping in the StrideFree Melbourne or the Kanga comes down to how you feel about your position/seat, in each of these saddles, they are both on the StrideFree Tree - therefore it is very much about the feel and your personal comfort

12.01.2022 The 16" StrideFree PONY Styled Kitzbuhel Dressage Saddle has arrived! I will have one of these in my StrideFree range and if you are interested in having a ride in it, feel free to put you name down on the list.

11.01.2022 Dont forget purchasing a StrideFree saddle for your dream horse may not be as far away as you think!

11.01.2022 Chocolate and Caramel StrideFree Dressage Saddle, just like an Indulgent Dessert - but, you get to have it, ride in it, guilt free, everyday!

10.01.2022 Complete full adjustability to your horse or the next horse you might buy , 100% wool flocking, superb craftsmanship as we know and love about PH saddles, the New OMEO Stock saddle is stunning, so comfortable and more affordable than you think. #lesliephsaddlefitter #lesliecertifiedphsaddlefitter #lovestridefreesaddles #alwaysstridefree #lesliegreaterballaratregion #thinkaboutthewholehorse #lesliegreaterwesternvic #lovetheomeostocksaddle

08.01.2022 The finishing touches on your StrideFree saddle is all about what you want, the colour of the stitching and welting are the little things that make your StrideFree saddle represent who your are! Very exciting and very YOU!

07.01.2022 So many positive responses from riders using the New StrideFree Halfbreed saddles. Comfort for the horse noticed in their stride length and swing through the hindquarters coming through to the ribcage, with a lower relaxed head carriage. Riders commenting on the comfortable effortless posture in the saddle.

06.01.2022 The lovely StrideFree Half-Breed Pilbaras Deep Chestnut colour and adjustability really is a show stopper.

06.01.2022 Did you know?...Your Eventing Colours/Style/Branding can be paired to your StrideFree Jump Saddle, this really is the ultimate package for your horse to be striding/jumping freer and for you and all the work it takes to be a good, great, amazing Eventing Competitor!

06.01.2022 I have a link below I would like to share about saddle damage affecting the Scapula Cartilage, surrounding muscles and forelimb movement. However the link does show Graphic Detail of a Horse in a Post-Mortem Dissection. Not all of the horse is fully seen, so If you are okay and interested in the ill-effects created by the tree-points in saddles, then please look and learn, this is why StrideFree saddles are breaking over 300 yrs of tradition to make life for a horse under sad...dle so much better. From an Anatomy, Physiology, Biomechanical, Musculo-Skeletal point of view, this has been apart of my teaching in Equine studies for the last 23yrs and why I am happy and confident to recommend StrideFree saddles for your horse. Never too late to learn just that little bit more, from small things big things grow and develop! Click the link below... https://youtu.be/g69HQO3KGnU See more

06.01.2022 When buying a new saddle, be sure you ask the question about the type of flocking/padding that are in the panels of your saddle. If the sales person or saddler says that there is flocking in the panel, ask if it is synthetic soft-toy stuffing or genuine wool. In fact ask them to show you. Sometimes what you are paying for doesnt quite match the price tag of such an important investment for your horses back health and long term functionality.

03.01.2022 Your morning hit of Peter Horobin Saddles with this short story with Kim Seaby international UK dressage rider - of why the StrideFree range are so enjoyable to ride and beneficial for the horse #alwaysstridefree KKM Elite Products

02.01.2022 When purchasing a new saddle make sure the panels are flocked with 100% wool. It is such a shame when I am flocking other brands & some very expensive, that the panels are stuffed with Synthetic soft toy/teddy bear type stuffing or foam, the panels become so flat, hard and compacted down. StrideFree saddles use 100% wool, there is no doubt the pliable absorbency of wool is also 100% better for your horses back. p.s. we love teddy bears, no harm should come to a teddy bear if he is not flocked with 100% wool

02.01.2022 So good to see the StrideFree half-breeds in work! So good to see young horses starting their ridden life under a comfortable/compatible StrideFree saddle

02.01.2022 The StrideFree Jump Saddles are a must to consider for your eventing / show jumping horse, the saddles most definitely give a Freer-Jump due to the clearance they give the shoulders with no tree-points, no more slamming or jarring of the saddle into the back of the scapula upon landing after the jump, the pick up afterwards is so much easier for the horse, as is the noted less refusals and run-outs at the jump. Why not book a test ride
