Below, you will see information about the range of saddles that the co-founders of BALANCE designed and had made for them for over 30 years.
BALANCE closed in 2023 when Lesley retired. However, you can look at the information here about the way each saddle was designed and why it has those features. There are thousands of BALANCE saddles still circulating around the world and helping horses to be comfortable and sound, when used correctly, including saddles that were made over 25 years ago and still in good condition. Some of the saddles shown below are still being manufactured by the same saddle makers who made them for many years for BALANCE, and now available from THV Saddling Ltd. THV are also working with other saddle manufacturers to produce some of the BALANCE designed range and will, no doubt, be working on additional options. For more information about THV Saddling Ltd. please go to:
