Are you ready to RE-visit the SMART™ saddle range?

If you have tried a Solution or SMART™ saddle previously but decided that it didn’t meet your requirements at the time, why not give it another try? 

Like any cutting edge product, the SMART™ saddle range has been carefully refined and developed over a number of years and now not only provides the key benefits of a flexible saddle system, but gives both horse and rider so much more.

We're so confident that our new saddle range ticks all of the boxes that, if you proceed to purchase a new SMART™ saddle from us, we will not only refund the test ride fee from this home consultation, but we will also refund the test ride fee from your previous test ride* - saving up to £150! This includes existing clients looking to upgrade their Solution or SMART™ saddle, too. 

So, if you'd like even closer contact; a more precise feel; reduced requirement for external shims and pads; a more elegant, refined finish; a generous gullet width as standard, for even the broadest backs; plus so much more, get in touch today!

Unique SMART™ saddle range wins Queens Award for Innovation 2021.

Solution Saddles is delighted to reveal that its unique, patented SMART™ saddle range has been recognised with a prestigious Queen’s Award for Innovation. Solution Saddles is one of just 205 organisations to be celebrated for their business successes this year; either in international trade, sustainable development, promoting opportunity through social mobility or, for Solution Saddles, excellence in innovation. 

Founded in 2006, Solution Saddles employs 12 members of staff at its Derbyshire base, with over 20 approved saddle fitters supplying the SMART™ saddle range to horse owners across the UK and overseas. Launched in 2010, the groundbreaking SMART™ saddle range has disrupted the largely unchallenged traditional saddle market, providing horses and riders at all levels with a modern solution to their saddle fitting woes and is believed to be the only brand of saddle to have earned a much sought-after Queen’s Award.

The accolade carries additional weight this year as it follows an unprecedented 12 months in business, owed to the Coronavirus pandemic. During this difficult period, Solution Saddles has demonstrated a flexible business model to continue offering outstanding products and customer service even in the face of adversity. With the recent addition of two new apprentice saddle makers, Solution Saddles is set to continue to grow to keep up with increasing customer demand. 

SMART™ saddle designer, Dr Anne Bondi, says,

‘’I am immensely proud of our skilled and dedicated team members, every one of whom has played an integral part in the success of our saddle designs and the continued growth of the company. Most of our team are horse owners and riders themselves, so truly understand our quest to promote the welfare and performance of the ridden horse. As riders, we also know what good customer service means to our clients and how to deliver it. These are the core principles that our reputation for excellence is built on and we look forward to continuing our research programme and bringing more innovation to the equine industry.”

Good luck if you are competing!

The SMART Suprabloc: Now available as a customisation on new SMART NATIVE Dressage saddles.

Positioning the knee block on the top of the saddle flap enables a closer-contact, monoflap feel; offering the rider support without adding bulk at what can often be the widest point on some native or cob types, for refined communication and enhanced synchrony.

 

You can choose your preferred knee block style and position Supabloc flap for a tailor-made feel and optimal support to suit your individual requirements.

 

Combining all the benefits of the scientifically tested FlexTech Technology, the SMART NATIVE base panel gives stability on rounder back shapes whilst easily accommodating seasonal changes with minimal adjustments.

 

                                                

The SMART Native Dressage saddle starts from £2,425.00 new and is available to Test Ride and Rent with the option to purchase on any of our 3 x 0% payment plans.

“I had wanted to invest in a dressage saddle for a while but was unsure whether it would be worth it for us at our very basic prelim level. However, I decided to take the plunge, and with the help of our lovely SMART Approved Advisor, we decided on a SMART™ Native Dressage saddle, which I had customised with a Suprabloc kneeflap.

 

 

In our first competition in our new saddle, we achieved the two highest scores we’ve ever had in any dressage test, as well as the best collectives for rider’s seat and position that I’ve ever achieved. We got a first and second place as well as some lovely comments from the judge.

 

I cannot recommend these saddles highly enough or thank Solution Saddles enough for pandering to my whims!”

Mel Glover

 

 

Please note that the Suprabloc knee flap cannot be retrofitted to existing saddles and must be ordered as a customisation on a new saddle.

SMART Opportunities for Saddle Fitters

Solution Saddles are inviting saddle fitters to join their existing network of  SMART Advisors. Thanks to continued strong growth and major investment in the business, Solution Saddles have significantly increased production of their SMART Saddle range over the past 12 months to meet customer demand and to ensure a reliable and responsive supply to its valued fitters and clients.

Solution Saddles continues to operate its highly successful “zero investment - zero risk” policy, whereby all demo stock is provided at no cost and no commitment to the saddle fitter. Combined with high, well-maintained stock levels, a 28-day lead time for custom orders and free product and fitting training, providing a first-class fitting service for clients and their horses anywhere in the country couldn’t be easier.

The unique, patented, fully flexible SMART Saddle range continues to grow in popularity thanks to the many advantages that it offers, including extensive trial opportunities and exceptional customer care. Suitable for all types of horses and ponies, from the sensitive and difficult-to-fit to the amenable and well conformed, the SMART saddle range is the perfect addition to complement any saddle fitter’s existing stock.

With the prospect of the country opening up for events again in the not-too-distant future, we expect to be able to offer Covid-secure saddle fitting training opportunities in 2021.
