We're looking forward to joining HAPPA - Horse & Pony Protection Association HAPPA Festival of the Horse! 🐴

A fantastic day out, all while helping to raise vital funds towards the rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming of HAPPA equines.

Come and find SMART Saddles to discover what makes our fully flexible saddles different. One of our expert SMART Advisors will also be running a live demonstration, exploring why saddle fitting isn't just about how your horse looks standing still – and showing how a SMART Saddle is designed to flex and adapt with your horse through movement.

There'll be plenty to see and do throughout the day, and we'd love to see you there!

Inside the Design: The SMART Gullet

Like the rest of the SMART Saddle, the SMART gullet is designed to flex both laterally and longitudinally as the horse bends, lifts and flexes its back throughout movement. This allows the saddle to accommodate the natural changes in shape that occur each stride while maintaining stability and supporting unrestricted freedom of movement.

SMART saddle fit isn't defined by one measurement - it's about how every part of the saddle works together with your horse in motion.

Has Your Pony Changed Shape Already This Summer?

Summer is one of most likely times of year for ponies to change shape.
▶ Change in grazing.
▶ More riding.
▶ More fitness.
▶ More fun!

Keeping your saddle fitting consistently and comfortably for both you and your pony year-round can become a challenge. The dynamic SMART Pony saddles are designed to flex with your pony as they change, making them suitable for many different back shapes, including:
✔ Wide backs
✔ Round barrels
✔ Broad shoulders
✔ Short-backed ponies
✔ Ponies that regularly fluctuate in condition

A comfortable pony is happier to work - and a happy pony helps build a confident young rider.

Comfort + Confidence = More Summer Fun ❤️

After seeing the difference SMART Saddles made for several clients, Tracey decided to give one a try on a challenging mare with kissing spines. The result? Greater freedom, improved connection, happier hacking and schooling, and a horse that made her preferences crystal clear.

🗨 “It's wonderful to now have a saddle in the tack room that, has the adaptability to alter for multiple horses”

SMART International Retailer focus:
🇨🇦 Els Armstrong, British Columbia, Canada

We're delighted to welcome Els Armstrong of Infinite Equine, based in Kamloops, BC, who can offer SMART Saddle fitting advice, test rides and demos throughout her area, as well as remote fitting consultations.

Designed to move with your horse, SMART Saddles feature our unique dynamic design, helping to support comfort, freedom of movement and an adaptable fit as your horse changes over time.

Els has experienced the difference a SMART Saddle can make first-hand with her own mare, Whinny.

"After a year and a half of rehabilitation and trying countless different saddles, we finally found the one saddle she was completely happy and comfortable in. She is relaxed when being saddled and ridden – as long as we bring out the SMART saddle."

If you would like to discover whether a SMART Saddle could benefit your horse, why not book a consultation with Els?

🔍Inside the Design: The SMART Seat.

Every SMART Saddle features a one-piece moulded seat, designed to support the rider with both comfort and function in mind.

First sculpted for rider ergonomics, then scanned and reverse-engineered to ensure symmetry in preparation for precision moulding.

Different SMART models feature different seat profiles to suit different disciplines and rider preferences. For example, a dressage seat has a deeper profile to support the rider's position when riding with a longer stirrup length, while a jump seat is flatter and more open, allowing greater manoeuvrability in a two-point position and over fences.

The density of the foam is just as carefully considered. Whilst lower-density foam may feel softer initially, it can reduce stability and wear less well over time. SMART Seats instead use supportive, high-density foam selected to provide riders with a secure, balanced feel, helping maintain close communication with the horse beneath them.

Much like a high-quality car seat, it's designed to be comfortable enough for time spent in the saddle, supportive enough to ride effectively, and durable enough to withstand years of everyday use.

Let the summer fun begin! ☀️🐴

Whether you enjoy Pony Club Camp, beach rides, fun rides, hacking or aiming for first rosettes, make this summer one they'll remember.

With a SMART Pony Saddle, you can spend less time worrying about saddle fit and more time focusing on your goals and having fun with your pony. Designed to flex and adapt with your pony's changing shape, you know your SMART saddle can be adjusted to fit from the beginning to the end of the summer - or even be fitted between multiple ponies!

Even better... As your young rider grows, the adjustable knee blocks and shims can be repositioned to maintain correct support and balance for longer legs and growing confidence.

🗨“The size 2 SMART Native Pony GP was a game changer for us when we couldn’t find anything else that worked for our flat and round, first ridden Welsh pony. Our pony and riders were instantly very happy in it and it has gone on to be used for 4 other ponies.” ~ A. Gibson, SMART Customer.

Spend less time worrying about saddle fit, and more time making memories:
❤️ One saddle.
🐴 Happy pony.
☀️ A whole summer of fun.
