Please do not place an order if you if you are not able to accept the potential for a delay. We will do everything we can to process and delivery goods as soon as we can, but have very little control over some of the delays that are going on. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
It's a crazy world at the moment and we hope to return to better/easier days soon.š¤

If you get a moment - please could you pass on my thanks to Carol for taking the time to help me and my poor ex racehorse on Wed last week and It really opened my eyes to a number of things and now I am feeling very confident that he will 'come good'!!

Carol Brett at BALANCE, recommended a saddle and the
Remedial Programme to help us get started. I havenāt had a single problem with
Lachlanās back again. Heās pain-free, light in the hand, happy to be saddled,
and has returned to his happy willing self!
He looks and feels fantastic!
Anna and Lachlan
The BALANCE "wholeistic" approach is beyond description, that resource I so desperately needed.
Thank you from all of us, Carol and Lesley, for helping horses heal.

I had always dreamed of this kind of a saddle fitting. I wasn't at all sure it existed. Finding the right saddle is so EXTREMELY important - and I have found a company that REALLY knows that.

I am often asked for advice on saddles and I always
recommend speaking to the BALANCE team. As a result, I have seen dozens
of instances where the introduction of the BALANCE system works dramatic
improvement in a horseās behaviour and movement
25 years of using BALANCE ā I would never change.

The BALANCE Saddling System, does not only help with comfort
for the horse, but also with its posture and basic way of going.
The saddles allow the horse to move back towards its Natural
Correctness and carry its movement from the hind quarters.

I canāt tell you how much I love my Zenith!!! I went through 10 saddles in 6 years for my horse before I got my Zenith. Two were ācustomā made for him. What a joke. I am on my 5th year with my Zenith and it is still perfect!!! I cringe now when I see these very deep Dressage saddles with the huge thigh blocks. People ask me how I can ride in my Zenith with no thigh blocks and no deep seat. I say well now my horse is balanced and I donāt have to depend on the saddle to hold me. āŗļø
