Amy Kate
The GP saddle from another horse was re-fitted by Michelle Lyall to suit Pie - no need for a new saddle! He's moving amazingly well in it. This weekend, Amy, Pie and their saddle plan some XC schooling. Hopefully also in the sunshine! Enjoy your riding this weekend!

This photo is of @ourlittlegreycob (well actually her fabulous mum), and isn't it a great action shot! This fantastic pair have achieved so much since we started following their progress, we cant wait to see what is next!
Grace & Teddy
Even little people can appreciate the difference a WOW makes! The lovely Grace & Teddy are a perfect example of this!
Caroline Jüngling
My name is Caroline Jüngling and my horse, WP Hardcash Thunderstorm, and I are the European 3-Gait Grand Champion 2022 and German 3-Gait Champion 2023.
Together with Mailie Johnson we found our perfect saddle solution in the WOW Saddle. The past half year has shown an unbelievable upward trend in our training largely due to the perfect and flexible fit of the WOW saddle. Coming from the dressage and showjumping sport in the U.S.A., it was very important for me to find a saddle that enables correct classical training while allowing the big movement of the Tennessee Walking Horse and not hindering my movement in the saddle. The modular system of the WOW saddle gave me the freedom to build the saddle that I needed.
Thank you to the whole WOW Team and especially to Mailie Johnson for the phenomenal saddle and the support we needed! In future I hope to advance in Versatility with WP Hardcash Thunderstorm and will be starting my young horse Dusky’s Glorious Renegade in the Rail classes, although Versatility is my main goal with all of my Tennessee Walking Horses.

I have just realised that it's nearly 5 years since I first met Nicola Nicholls and bought my first WOW saddle .
Very briefly I got back into riding at the age of 32 ( now 60 ) and before I knew it was a horse owner! After a couple of years I was introduced to Arab racing and then found myself owning an arab. Later I started competing at endurance and before long was participating in race rides.
My trusty partner through all of this was Hamac a French bred arab.
By the time he got to 19, saddle fitting was becoming a problem as hes very short backed and I'm not the smallest rider. Getting someone to help us was not easy and back problems were occurring.
Someone suggested WOW and then I met Nicola.
We had a good chat about what I wanted to do and that was simply to find a suitable saddle for my horse and myself to carry on riding together
Nicola was very keen to help and lent me a saddle to ride in. I actually rode in a graded ride at Euston Park and we completed with a grade1 and no back issues.
After that I bought my first WOW saddle!
In the five years that we have had the saddle Hamac has had NO back issues, no saddle related problems and most importantly for me he is still in full work helping to train younger endurance horses and still competing himself at the shorter distances and getting grade 1s.
I'm very lucky to have a good support team with an excellent vet , Mc timoney specialist and saddler.
Without the saddle and Nicola's regular visits to make sure all is well I am of the opinion that Hamac would not be doing what he is today.
At 25 my little horse still loves going out having fun and I am very grateful that I'm still able to enjoy him after 21 years together!
Thankyou WOW but most importantly thank you Nicola!

Rachel Cordle & Trigger
I have loved your saddles for years and eventually saved up to buy one for my beautiful dressage cob Trigger. I use Alison Braithwaite WOW Saddler and she very kindly asked to sponsor us, so we have a beautiful wow saddle cloth to compete in.
I am completely in love with my WOW saddle and so is Trigger, he really appreciates your soft release girth. As a round cob he has always had to have tight girths, and showed clear signs of discomfort. The soft release girth gives him so much more freedom and he doesn’t bat an eyelid when I girth him up anymore.
We have had great success competing in the new saddle and have already qualified for area festivals, at prelim silver and novice bronze in our first three outings. Our results even got us in Horse and Hound!

WOW AMBASSADORS
TRIED AND TRUSTED BY THE VERY BEST RIDERS
I love the versatility of my WOW saddle. From a riders point of view, the narrow twist really allows me to wrap my leg around the horse and feel close to them without locking me in.
Their modular design and adjustability allows me to alter them depending on what my horse's need at different times throughout the season and levels of training. Due to the flexibility of the tree and unique panel design everything feels easy! I’m not having to work against my saddle to get the expression I want, the horses WANT to let go over their back and swing under the saddle.
