  • Last week Em and I ventured off to Exeter with Addie and Banksy to have a saddle fitting session with Albion. Em has worked with them for a few years and is possibly upgrading one of her saddles, so I took the opportunity to tag along and try a few different styles on Sir Banksy.

    Awww Tina I’m so glad you finally decided to post this vlog despite the negative comments you were getting on other platforms. I love the look of the light saddle on banksy and the navy glitter would look absolutely gorgeous!!! Banksy is such a funny horse with how he tells you if there’s something he doesn’t like and I hope both the boys are doing okay with the second heatwave coming soon❀❀❀

      Thank you!! Yea I’m very lucky that he defo lest me know when something isn’t right
 just wish I’d been confident enough to try different ones sooner as the drama I had with saddles in 2018 really ruined my confidence and it’s taken ages to get it back xx

    So happy for you! You and Banksy deserve to have something that fits both of you perfectly. It is no ones business to tell you what to do with your horse, especially when it comes to something that you are doing to help them and yourself reach your full potential. Can't wait to see how you guys go in the new saddles 😘

    Thanks Tina well done on trying a new saddle in the first place. We know how much, you are a creature of habit and how sensitive Banksy is. You looked really good in the first two saddles and looked like they gave you a little more confidence in your riding. I hope you do treat Banksy and yourself to a new saddle that you can get adjusted in the future, if needs be very interesting vlog. Thanks x

      Aaawww thank you yes I was pleasantly surprised at how competent I felt in something new and he defo felt free in the shoulder in both of the first 2. Like I said he always lets me know if he’s not comfy hence was a little cautious about cantering to start with xx

    Life tip for keeping normal plastic water bottles cold (Works great on frozen ones) Wet a paper towel. Wrap it around and cover with aluminum foil. Obviously a good water bottle is more eco friendly but depending on your situation it may be a needed tip at times.

    This was a really interesting vlog to watch- thank you for sharing!
    I also have a pony whom like Banks is very quick to let you know when she is displeased with her saddle (or saddle pad since she has a high wither), so I can totally relate to how nerve wracking trying different types of saddles on can be & offer big kudos to you for not just stepping out of your comfort zone but sharing your doing so- you are so much braver than I am!
    Glad you found a saddle both yourself & Banks liked on the first try. I look forward to seeing what you decided on when/if you reveal the new saddle to us 😊
    Given all the hard work you have put into improving your riding over the last year I can't think of a better reward/treat for yourself & Banksy than a new saddle, custom fit to you both, especially as it can help aid you both in continuing to improve over the coming years đŸ€©

    Hi Tina,
    I loved your saddle Vlog. You are right, Banksy does deserve a saddle of his own. He has been with you for a long while and done extremely well with the saddle that you got for Buddy, but now is the time for a special treat for him.
    He is at the pinnacle of his showing career with you. He does so well in all of his events and he looks and acts at his fittest of his life. That is very obvious to me because Cameron loves to ride him so much and I don’t think that he rides
    many other clients horses as he loves to ride yours. I can’t wait to see the new saddle, is it a Jumping one, or is it a Dressage one, or, is it one of each. Oh My!!! Jane đŸ˜ŽđŸ‘đŸŽđŸŽđŸ§‘đŸ»â€đŸŠ°

    If you get to make notes to Air Up, I would say they need to work on getting less packaging. The pods have so much packaging and it would be nice if there was someway to make it less. Just considering they are doing reusable bottles, so if the pods could lose one layer of packaging that would be so awesome! Just a thought đŸ€ŁđŸ€Ł
