“A versatile saddle”
I love
my new Kent Saddle. I went straight into four days of solid riding when I
received it, and couldn’t believe the ease of transition from the
saddle I’d been riding in for the past 30 years to the new one. No stiff
or sore spots for me at all, and my horse was a picture of health at
the end of four days of continuous riding in mountain terrain.
The fit of the saddle for my horse is fantastic, and I know that I
can ride him for days on end through rough terrain with no sore spots
developing.
The saddle gives a feeling of great security when mustering cattle
in steep hill country, and I am very impressed with the cable rigging
which allows for fine adjustments of girth placement.
I live on the edge of Kosciuszko National Park near Khancoban, and I
use my horses for cattle work, track clearing, and pleasure riding. I’m
the coordinator, and one of the guides for the annual Riley’s Ride,
held during the Man From Snowy River Bush Festival. I ride through some
fairly dense prickly scrub to get cattle out of creek areas, and to
track clear for the Riley’s Ride. I’m particularly pleased to have a rough out saddle; it takes a beating and
comes up looking great. I would gladly recommend a Kent Saddle to anyone
who rides for stock work, pleasure or trail riding, or for working
green horses.
It was beneficial to speak with the saddler before making my final
order, and the catalogue/order form guide made assembling the saddle an
easy process. During the ordering process I found all the staff very
pleasant and helpful. From my experience, I would say that Kent Saddlery
is a great Australian business delivering a dependable, quality
product.
