This evening saw Kimberleigh Prince get kitted out with not one but two new saddles - Xmas specials are still running so she has nabbed an incredible deal.
Kim went for a GP and the Oakridge 'Modern' jump saddle which you can see here ---> http://www.justsaddles.co.nz
Kim also received two FREE gift sets of gullets so that as Levi changes in his shape so can her saddles, or if she buys a new horse she can make them work for that horse too. 
The changeable gullet system is efficient and allows flexibility with your saddle fit. 
Kim can relax knowing the saddles have a 24 month warranty and a 5 year warranty on the tree and knows the saddles will be protected with new fleece saddle covers.
As you can see "Levi" likes the look of the saddles and Kim's partner Matt can relax knowing she hasn't spent an arm and a leg on horse gear!

Are you looking for a new dressage saddle for your horse?
You MUST check out the Rendimento range from Just Saddles. For those of you that know my horse Alani you will know dressage isn't the strong point of his eventing. Since we have been sponsored by Just Saddles his dressage marks have improved and he is a lot happier in his way of going! I <3 my Rendimento, it is comfy and encourages correct rider position!
A brand new Italian calfskin leather dressage saddle with changeable gullet for under $2,500... A must to check out!

Hi there
Saddle arrived today thanks, it looks great!

For some reason I only got a pic of hubby on him instead of me so here it is.
Fits much better than my English one but looks like I need a new blanket as well hahahaha.
Horse ownership is definitely ongoing purchase of bits and pieces huh.
I will get some of that bees wax it looks great.

Hi guys. Love the saddle. Thank you for the voucher inside, it was a nice gesture.
 
I finally had a fine day on the weekend to try it on my horse, and it is a pretty good fit. A little wide across the wither, so will use padding until he muscles up a bit.
 
As for me, the seat is a perfect fit.

Hi Dan
Saddle arrived at lunchtime and I have been riding in it this afternoon. Horse seems very happy in it, and it fits me well too, so two happy campers :). All being well I shall be taking Peter (horse) to his first CTR ride next weekend so hopefully I shall be able to post a pic on with him successfully crossing the finish line in his lovely new saddle.
 
Thank you very much for all your help, advice and patience, which has been much appreciated.
With best regards

Love the ASPIRE jump saddle. Suede seat is just brilliant for extra grip, love being able to adjust knee and calf blocks and the saddle looks great on. My mare is comfortable and forward-moving in it and the saddle 'stays out of my way' while jumping. Love it! :)

Loving my new Caballo Sauvage saddle, it makes my seat better and my lower leg more stable even during flatwork. My horse is feeling like his movement has freedom with it. Thanks so much for all the advice and the time to see which was more comfortable and suitable for both of us.

Thanks so much for your help Daniel,
Yes it is great and I think it is forcing me to ride better! The horse is going better already also, so he must be more comfortable. I'm still adjusting to my riding position changing but by the end of the weekend I'll have it down. I'll send through photos from the ODE when we get a good one.
I'll be in touch soon, Belinda.

Hi Christine,
The Pro Event Jumping saddle is amazing. It fits well and is lovely and comfortable for both Nuala and I. The leather is beatiful once it has had an oil. It is by far my favourite saddle that I have ever ridden in! I have not yet ridden in the Adventure (as I am too in love with the Pro Event :) )
Thank you so much for making such lovely saddles available to people who do not have massive amounts of spare money to spend on their horses and gear!
Many thanks, Brooke.

Hi my name's Barb after a really lengthy wait and pretty extenuating circumstances I received my saddles two weeks ago. I've ridden in the gp several times and it fits my roly poly hard to fit a saddle to horse really well - every other brand saddle I tried does not compare, I've tried Bates, Trainers - you name it. They've (DS) been really fair to deal with and have really done the right thing by me. Thanks again guys and I would not hesitate to recommend them to any one.

Here is a photo of the new tribute pro saddle I received two weeks ago. It is a very nice saddle and the over all finish is very good. As it was ordered just after new year it took a little bit longer than i was told but with holidays etc I felt this was totally acceptable. I would suggest getting a expert out to do the measurements.

DS Australian Stock Saddle
22/7/2013
Well finally got to try the new custom made saddle and i am pretty sure it fits good...need to speak to a few 'stock saddleites' to confirm though... Weird riding experience as only ever ridden english and the stock was very alien..i felt most unstable in it . The only thing i hate about it and would change if i could and i will at some stage go see our local saddle repairer Jim Burns about it is changing the girth strap as i have a real hatred of having leather fronted and webbing backed as they never line up properly, they are buggers to do up especially when you have a 'bloater' that you cant tighten the girth up until about 20 mins into the ride and then you need to do it with extreme speed and stealth and the webbing part never flows nicely!! other wise i am very happy with saddle. Loads of wither clearance, shoulders are cleared..just (bloody standy's) and lovely wide channel all as i asked..thanks Christine.

Popped my new Arabian Endurance saddle onto Polly today. Haven't sorted out the girth and gear as yet, but the saddle looks to be a perfect fit. Not lifting at the back or too long, good clearance over the shoulders and looks of room around the wither area. Seat is ultra comfortable to sit on as well. Thanks sooo much for all your help. I am looking forward to my next purchase and to seeing your new warehouse when we come up!!

"Hi Christine,
They are great, sorry I haven't been in touch, I was out of town. Thank you for the bridle too. The brown saddle is lovely and fits the pony as well as anything ever has (it rolls a little, but the pony is nearly completely round so I think anything will). 
The black saddle is a near perfect fit, just a touch too low over the wither at the very front, but I can pack it out a little bit. I rode all over the hills in the slippery mud and the saddle didn't move at all and the horse didn't seem to worry about the wither clearance.Overall very pleased with the saddles, thank you. Cheers, Nicola"

I have tried the saddle on and you are right it does fit (the girth doesn’t but that’s because pony is too fat at the moment :) The bridle is good as well.
I’m sorry that I have been a bit fussy and thank you for your professional service. 
If you would mind sending me that red saddle blanket, as you are right it will go nicely with the bridle, that would be appreciated, thank you.
