Your WOW saddle comes with the option of three different placements for your stirrup leathers: Front bar Back bar Up and Over But how do you choose which one you need? The front bar Not exclusively for jump saddles, although it is often thought of in this way! The front stirrup bar can be really useful if you have a particularly long upper leg length - so from your hip to your knee. Sometimes this length of leg means that it is hard to get your heel comfortably in line with y

In December we had a visit from Siem Budding, the Horseback Archery World Champion, and not only are we making a Pinnacle for him, but we're also collaborating with him and Richard Addison (Team GB Horseback Archery) on a new quiver design too!
