SMART Saddles Ltd

Dr. Anne Bondi BHSI founded SMART Saddles in 2006 in a quest to design and develop a range of saddles to improve horse and rider comfort, welfare and performance. After years of experiencing saddle-related problems, finding that although some of them could be alleviated, they were not solved.

Today, Nottinghamshire-based SMART™ Saddles is run by a small but dedicated team, committed to designing and manufacturing the SMART™ saddle range using premium materials that are carefully sourced from around the UK.

The SMART™ saddle range has disrupted the largely unchallenged traditional saddle market, providing horses and riders at all levels with a modern solution to their saddle fitting woes. It is the only brand of saddle to date to be awarded a much sought-after Queen’s Award for Enterprise (Innovation, 2021). SMART™ Saddles continue to offer outstanding products and customer service and continues to grow to keep up with increasing customer demand and new markets. 

The research-led SMART™ saddle designs are manufactured, tested and fitted by riders; who not only understand how the saddles are constructed but also the performance demands of both horse and rider.

A network of trained SMART™ Advisors fit and supply the SMART™ saddle range to horse owners across the UK and overseas, whilst the team at SMART™ Saddles HQ are available to assist you with all aspects of ordering from saddle selection, to trials and after-sales service.
