My beloved horse partners, P*k and Louie, are the inspiration behind P*k and Louie Saddlery. It is my unrelenting desire and seeking of full connection with them, that brought me to understand the importance of well-made, quality equipment. I didn’t come to horses through privilege and thus, I have spent most of my equestrian life riding in lower quality tack that often didn’t fit me or my horse a
s well as it should. When I finally came to understand just how important having the right fit for both horse and rider was to our connection, and learned the impact a well-made, well-fitting piece of equipment could have on both our comfort, I also quickly learned most the tack I wanted was quite far out of my financial realm. I began searching for different ways to find high quality, gently used tack at below market prices. Realizing I didn’t have to spend a fortune to get a quality saddle which fit both me and my horse, led me to want to pass this knowledge and comfort on to others. While there is no substitute for a quality equestrian education, having a well-made, well-fitting, piece of equipment can make a monumental difference in a rider’s balance and a horse’s comfort. My goal every time I mount a horse is the same as most riders - to be fully connected and move with my mount, so our endeavor is harmonious. Being connected to a horse is truly an enlightening experience we as riders seek day-after-day, ride-after-ride. I hope our little saddle shop, is able in some small way to help riders find their awakening on their horse's back.
