Let customers speak for us
This pad is wonderful. Love it! The quality is outstanding and it fits perfectly with my Quantum short and light western.
These are very beautiful and quality. I am new to this style of riding and I really like the wider foot bed for your boots.
This is a great girth. The size 2 fits both my narrow 14.2 hand and 15 hand spotted saddle horses.
I have not been able to ride in them yet due to the weather. But I’m looking forward to riding in them once the weather is good again.
Excellent quality and comfort for both me and my young horse, with the adjustability of the gullet making it perfect for her as she grows and adds topline. This is my second DP Saddlery saddle and it won't be my last. Great customer service from Saddle Colony made it a very easy purchase.
I love my DP Western Equitation Saddle, and I would not hesitate to purchase other products from your company. You went way beyond help. Thank you so much.
The custom DP Saddlery Fender Quantum / Startrekk were a perfect fit for my DP Short and Light Saddle. I bought my saddle used and the fenders were too long for my short inseam. The custom order was a perfect fit (both in length and appearance). They also arrived sooner than anticipated!!
I absolutely love the buttery softness of the DP Saddlery Soft Feel Western Headstall Straight Browband. Dealing with Saddle Colony is always a pleasure!
I love the Ultra Flex Girth!! It is great with my DP Shirt and Lite Saddle! The quality is excellent and the service at Saddle Colony is top notch!
I love my new El Campo saddle! Customer service was awesome and I received the saddle quickly. It was just what I wanted and fits my horse beautifully. Thank you!
Beautiful, well made girth cover. Super high quality materials and fits my DP girth perfectly.
Fabulous saddle!!! Adjustable gullet It is awesome for my Academic riding. Beautifully made and designed. Fast delivery LOVE IT! Thank you!!
I spent the last decade riding English and I'm way into the padded ergonomic bridles that are so popular over there. I recently bought a Western pony for a change and wondered if the Western market had embraced the concept. Well, DP Saddlery is your company when you're looking for that, and they are about the only company doing it! The bridle is really reasonably priced for the quality! It really has a soft luxury feel, with padding exactly where you want it and never where you don't. I really like how the bit ties on, nothing there to bump or rub your horse's face, no screws to come undone at the worst times, quietly a really smart feature. The throat latch attachment is new to me but also love it, the rings slide with your browband up or down as needed so it's always in the perfect spot. I'm super picky on behalf of my horses and their comfort, and I'm so pleased with this bridle!
We have been super pleased with the DP Quantum Sport! Beautifully made and so comfortable, but the best part is how well it fits on my Arabians’ short back- lovely. I also appreciated them extending the trial to 14 days so my saddle fitter had time to come by. My one difficulty is the fenders. I am 5’4” and 130 and I purchased the S2, with medium fenders- they are way too long, even at the highest setting. I am in the process of exchanging them for small- so far the process is going smoothly!
