The saddle is the supportive structure connecting horse and rider, and the quality of that connection can directly affect the quality of their mutual communication. We all know that good communication is the foundation of every successful relationship and perhaps you have witnessed the transformation that is possible when both parties feel comfortable, supported and balanced. At Hands High we truly believe that every horse and rider is deserving of a well-fitting saddle, and being able to help facilitate an improvement in your relationship with your horse is our primary motivation.

Kelly Jacobsen of Hands High Equine Services is a certified independent saddle-fitter with over 20 years’ experience as a horse owner and rider. The primary goal of a Hands High saddle fitting session is to help the horse achieve the best saddle fit possible and to provide an educational experience that will empower the horse-owner in making sound decisions for their horse and for themselves.

Sometimes your saddle just needs some TLC and enhancements to provide a good fit for your horse. Hands High provides flocking and panel conversion services and can refer you to experienced saddlers for more extensive repairs. Other times a different saddle is needed. To address this need Hands High offers saddles that deliver excellent value, quality and fitting options for the horse and rider, such as Black Country Saddles from England. For those who are not in the market for a new saddle, Hands High strives to carry a selection of quality pre-loved saddles.
