WORLD OF WOW

My Name is Nicky Hill and I am an event rider currently competing up to 5* level with horses competing at all levels. I am also lucky enough to ride some very good showjumpers competing up to 1m40 level. I have ridden in WOW saddles since 2018, when I was first lucky enough to sit in one. At Blenheim horse trials Dawn Britnell, an eventing friend and WOW saddle fitter, noted some areas we were struggling in with my top horse and suggested it might be worth trying a WOW saddle. The difference it made for my top horse was quite amazing, he instantly became freer and softer over the back and for the first time was easily maintaining a good 4 beat can’t. The difference was huge, so we managed to get sorted to take a WOW dressage saddle to our first 5* just a few weeks later. In those few weeks his dressage mark went from a 41 at Blenheim, to a 34 in his first 5*, the only change was his saddle! Since then we have never looked back and I am now very privileged to ride all my horses in WOWs for both jumping and dressage. They are second to none in both comfort and performance for horse and rider. I have some particularly tricky horses to fit a saddle to but with the adjustable nature of the saddles we’ve managed to get them all in perfectly fitting tack. The new pinnacle saddle has been a real game changer for me (short legs!) and is the first dressage saddle I’ve ridden in that I feel has really allowed me to get my leg into the right position. Alongside the saddles, the range of girths WOW provide allow even more comfort for the horses. The freedom girth has made a real notable difference to all my horses. It allows a huge range of movement for the forelimbs and they all finally feel like they really can move freely with tack on. We also love the switcha stud girth which all of my horses use xc. It provides super protection and also has a clever design that allows it to be used as a full stud girth or smaller everyday girth. I’m also very impressed with the hidden martingale attachment that limits the risk of horses getting their foot stuck which I have seen happen on a few occasions recently. I’m very honoured to ride in WOW saddles and can’t speak highly enough of the difference they have made for my horses, without a doubt we would not have achieved many of our results without them.
