My DP Quantum Sport is absolutely wonderful. After 5 saddles being OK but not perfect due to my Quarter horse changing shape each season, the 6th and final saddle can be changed with the turn of an Allen Wrench. Wish I had bought it years ago!

Approximate cost: $4500

Hi Dianne, I'm just writing to you to tell you how happy I am with my DP Sport Saddle.

My aims in purchasing a new saddle were,

1) A saddle that was light - I have a 16.3 hh horse and I am quite short. In addition to this I am 60 years old and it was obvious that as years go by I was not going to be getting stronger.

2) I wanted a multipurpose saddle that I could trail ride in, jump and practise dressage in.

3) Comfort was also a huge factor for me, as well as an adjustable saddle that would ensure the comfort of my horse through body changes.

4) In addition to this I wanted a saddle that looked great!

Tori, your representative in South Australia, went over and beyond in ensuring that all of these criteria were totally satisfied and needless to say I love my new saddle, so does Monty, my horse!!
Kind Regards,
Gay

Poor costumer service is when you have to ask 10 times to get clear answers but the answer is still grey and you are no better off,
when you pay a deposit on a invoice thinking that is the cost of the item you have agreed to order, then when the saddle is ready to be shipped you receive another invoice and there are new charges that you are not aware off and were not on the original invoice you paid the deposit on, not receiving even a phone call or email to advise before sending invoice, you pay $4540 for a saddle that comes with no complementary makers cover
and they charged $120 for saddle strings on a (western saddle) when they are included in the price by other saddle makers over the world.
Representatives of DP that can't be bothered to go over options when ordering a saddle
poor poor experience

Thank you for your review Sarah. I am so very sorry that you are dissatisfied with our customer service. The DP dealer that you dealt with was still gaining product knowledge of the DP range at the time of your order, so my sincerest apologies if we were not answering your questions satisfactorily. The cost of saddle strings and special slotted SS conchos, was not included in the original invoice for your saddle as these items were added at a later stage, when you requested they be added to your order. I'm not sure what happened to your complementary DP saddle dust cover, as it was included and actually placed on your saddle at the time of packing. If you would like us to send you another one, we can most certainly do this. If there is anything we can do to rectify how you feel about our business and our customer service, please do let me know and I will see to it personally. Best regards, Dianne Pascoe, DP Saddlery Australia.

Wow. I am so happy with my DP Quantum Sport Saddle. Our rides on the weekend were 6 hours and 30 km and 7 hours up and down hills and 28 km. Comfortable for me and more importantly my horse didn't have a sore back and was still happy to trot on the way back to the floats. ️

Love my Dp Doma saddle, I have been riding in this saddle for several months now and it really is wonderful. It has made such a difference to my horse and my riding. The only way I can really describe it is that when I am riding I feel like I am part of my horses movement, and we are working together as one. He is also so much more responsive to my seat ! When I ordered it I was a little worried because I thought the gallery looked "funny", but it works so well. It is firm and supportive and I feel totally secure in it but it does not get in the way like the knee pads or horns on many saddles. I also really like the stirrup leathers under the saddle flap, they are less fixed then fender leathers and more stable then english leathers. This saddle gives me really good balance, close contact and a secure feel, the spinal clearance is great and its light and easy to move and lift . I am also noticing that I can spend more hours in the saddle and my knees and back don't get sore at all. We just love it, Thank you. ️️

I had today off work and took Diesel for a ride this morning. I have the combination of the shims, gullet width and saddle position in correct combination so that the clearance over his wither is good. I had a great ride!

Abby was easier to fit. I love how I can feel the horses under me, although at first it felt a bit strange. The lighter weight of the Startrekk treeless saddle is also a bonus for the horses and me having to lift it!

I have given your brochure to a girlfriend and told her she needs to contact you!

Being able to wash the Mattes pad and girth in the washing machine is brilliant and the MELP is great.

You made my saddle purchase so easy for me, thank you. I love my Buckeburger saddle more each time I ride in it. Thank you to Holistic Equine Saddlery & Tack for your excellent service and making this dream come true.

After spending 2 years and hundreds of dollars on a 'master fitter', I was completely frustrated and unable to ride my horse. The saddle fitter told me to either use a riser (which I put on once and it completely crushed his wither), or buy a custom made saddle, well out of my price range. After getting put on to Dianne, I went and rode in saddles at her house to decide on best fit. Dianne was fabulous in assisting with everything I needed and answering all of my questions. Following a 3 month layoff with a broken pelvis (not caused by my horse!), my HM saddle has now arrived and I can't wait to use it. The order process was simple, Dianne kept me in the loop all the way, and it arrived very quickly. I will recommend Kuda Saddles to everyone looking for a saddle!

I love my new DP El Campo Del Flor Saddle and more importantly Adjani seems to love it too. His old saddle had been fitted by a master saddle fitter recently and deemed a good fit for him but he was getting nippy when I was taking him up which I put down to him being bossy. However since he has the El Campo he immediately stopped fussing and trying to nip so he must have been saying that he didn't like the other saddle. Even though it has not been fitted yet (several week waiting period for my fitter) he is obviously very happy in it. Gaiting really well, and giving a huge ground covering trot, waving his tail around out riding like a happy dog and no getting cranky with saddling. I like the firm knee blocks as he likes to chuck in the odd buck when excited and they give me added stability. I am not sure if he loves the flexible tree or the rear facing tree points (he does have very large shoulders that extend back quite far) but he is a very happy horse.

Approximate cost: $5850

…When I started my mare (under instruction) and got on her for the very first time my trainer said I had a ‘grin like a split watermelon’ which always amused me… I suspect that grin returned this morning as I got on my new Kuda Saddle! I LOVE it! It doesn’t feel new, it feels like I have always had it, and the leather is so soft, even adjusting the fenders wasn’t a battle like I am used to!
I am so happy! Thank you so much! We did arena work today and will trail ride tomorrow… my gorgeous boy liked it too! Although, now his working life will actually pick up as he has a proper saddle that we both like!
Thank you so much, thrilled to bits!
