A Bespoke Saddle Boutique
Hello, I'm Karen Borne
Welcome to our website! I’m Karen Borne, and with over 25 years of experience in fitting and designing saddles, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to each of my clients. My journey began in the UK, where I was trained by the prestigious Society of Master Saddlers, Ltd. This background has equipped me with a deep understanding of both the art and science of saddle making. Here, we pride ourselves on crafting bespoke saddles that not only enhance performance but also ensure the utmost comfort for both horse and rider. Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to helping you find the perfect saddle solution tailored just for you.
Our Approach
Our approach to fitting and manufacturing saddles begins with a time-tested process that ensures effectiveness and precision. We start by understanding the unique needs of both the horse and rider through a detailed assessment, followed by the meticulous crafting of a saddle that meets these specific requirements. By integrating traditional techniques with modern innovations, we create a product that is not only functional but also a piece of art. Take the journey with us to begin the process.
