“I have been riding in Schleese Saddles since 2007. My life changed from that day!
Schleese Saddles have transformed my training and coaching. The comfort, balance, and support these saddles give me, on the flat and over fences are wonderful!
I am very confident in the product and stand behind them 100%. My students and their horses also reap the benefits of these fabulous saddles.
My horses are pain-free and able to train and learn with no restrictions from ill-fitting tack. They are able to reach their maximum potential.
At the end of the day, knowing I will be pain-free speaks volumes. As an “Event Rider” I spend a lot of hours in the saddle.
THANKYOU to EVERYONE in the SCHLEESE TEAM for keeping me and my students so well outfitted.
Most recently Edie has been test-riding Schleese’s new “LightFlight” saddle stating “this saddle affords me the ultimate close contact feel and lets my horse move with wonderful freedom! “
