New service - as well as tack marking at yards when I'm out & about saddle fitting (preferably by appointment so that I allow enough time), I'm also geared up, in my new van, to pick up rugs for washing. Please have rugs individually bagged, with the front buckles on top, and payment with order please, except for repairs.
Also, I now have an etcher in my tack marking kit, so I can mark synthetic saddles and other items - please phone to book an appointment either when I'm visiting for saddle fitting, or in the shop. (The kit lives in the van, so I can make sure I have it with me if I know tack marking is needed)
See the Horsewatch page for information about planned yard visits.

There is a new publication available from the BHS - "Bedfordshire & the Chiltern Hills on Horseback". This is a pack of route maps and descriptions describing 13 rides in the area - including details of where to park your trailer/horsebox. An invaluable source of information for those who like to ride in different places.
The publication is priced at £6.95. It is available direct from the BHS or, if there is enough interest, I can order in bulk to save postage costs. If you are interested, please e-mail me to tell me how many copies you would like and I'll let you know when they arrive. sue@biggleswadesaddlery.co.uk
