Performance Saddlefits SSA

I have been out delivering the new Saddle IQ saddles recently and the feedback has been excellent!

What an incredible opportunity to be apart of a new up and coming brand! These saddles are bridging the gap between "off the rack" and custom saddles.

Wanting to try one? I have dressage, jump and the GP XOver in stock now.

Did you know? Performance Saddlefits are the ONLY approved and qualified fitters of Erreplus Saddles in Australia?

Our team spend time training in Italy with the amazing designers and manufacturers of Erreplus, and know your saddles from the inside out. They know the fit of each unique tree and panel design, how to steam, flock and attach the panels to fit your horse, and carry the Erreplus specialist tools to do so.

The incredible Erreplus trees are ONLY heat adjustable on the Erreplus designed press by our qualified fitters, so if you are lucky enough to have had an Erreplus saddle custom-made by one of our team, or have purchased one second hand and need it fitted - please - don't let any non-qualified fitter/saddler adjust your saddle! 🙏🙏🙏

As fitters, we are seeing far too many 2nd hand Erreplus saddles damaged by fitters who are not trained to adjust them. If you are looking for a fitter, just pop onto our website and find our nearest Performance Saddlefits Fitter closest to you:

It's no secret that I LOVE off the tracks! If you've seen me out competing then you'd know that spicey and opinionated mares are my jam 🙌 I have so much love for these big goofy creatures who try their absolute heart out in disciplines they were not bred for. From school horses to high level eventers, they are willing to throw a shoe at anything (quite literally 🤭).

I am a big supporter of Thorough Care SA so to celebrate Thorough Care Month I'm offering 15% off all saddle fitting's for OTT's until the end of August.

Whether it's fitting an existing saddle, shopping for new or just rechecking to make sure everything's perfect, I'm here to help.

Rodney sports the brand new Saddle IQ Dressage which has been a game changer with it's simple adjustability that can adapt as he gains condition and develops new muscles. It balances this with a comfy and secure seat for me as well!

Limited spots available so message now to secure your appointment!

* Discount also applies to the South East visit on the 8th and 9th of August! *

Keep an eye out for my shiny new banner while your galloping across the course!! 😜

Proud to support a local club - one day I'll have enough brakes on my OTT mare to give it a go myself 🫣

Thank you Performance Saddle Fits SSA for your continued support of our supercross. We feel very proud to be working with so many exellent equestrian professionals and Nichole fits right in there. Being a vet and a horse addict herself, Nichole understands what is going on for your horse and your budget 🫣🤣. Trying her best to work with the saddle you have or to come up with budget friendly solutions Nichole can help you ensure your pony friend is as comfortable as possible and able to perform with the saddle you use🤩

Sometimes this is the best job in the world. Sunshine, cheeky ponies, lovely clients.

Other days it's 4am wakeups to travel 1300kms over 3 days and see 21 horses 🤣🐎

Actually... I still love it. BUT I may not respond to messages this weekend. I apologise in advance.

As usual, I'm fueled by caffeine and the chance to make a difference for horse and rider.

Happy weekend everyone 🤪

Exciting new things happening behind the scenes! Some of you have been waiting for this since it was a dream many years ago. It is finally a reality!

Wishing everyone a happy Easter long weekend!
I'm going to be taking a little break from social media over the public holidays to rest and reset. I'm sure many of you have worked out that admin is not my favourite part of the job 😉 and somehow it takes more of a toll than a 13 hour day fitting! Give me a flocking iron and a spicey red mare any day.

If I've missed anyone, feel free to poke me. I'll be officially back in the "office" Tuesday the 7th.

Upcoming availability update:
South East Trip is looking pretty full, I will organise a schedule next week to finalise numbers

The 16th and 23rd are my last fitting days for April, with plenty of spots to fill at this stage. We are taking a little time off to get some jobs done around the property, however, I will still be available for emergencies!

Ongoing availability is much better than it ever has been. With the cost of keeping horses being challenged from every angle (hay prices, fuel prices, cost of living, it never ends!), numbers have certainly dropped off. What used to be a 6 week wait (3 years ago), is now around 1-2 weeks depending on your location. So don't be afraid to reach out!

Thanks all, have a lovely Easter.
Nichole

Tan, tooled or classic havana? What's your pick 😍😍

I can't go past the beautiful hand tooled version 🫶

I've loved working with Southern Cross to create these fender saddles. Their customer service is second to none!
If you're in the market for a fender or western, you seriously need to consider these custom made and Australian made saddles!

Maybe this dressage diva will dig her cowgirl boots out 🤔

The cost of fuel is the talk of the town at the moment, so I wanted to post a little update for everyone.

At this stage, I am resisting any temptation to increase costs to make up for rising fuel prices and choosing to absorb it within the consultation fee.

Owning horses is expensive enough and horse welfare is still my first priority. I would rather keep prices stable to ensure more people can continue to prioritize their horses comfort and budget accordingly.

Currently my prices are as follows:
Initial Consult (Local, 40km ) - $200
(Rural >100km) - $220
Revisit Within 12months - $165 for local, $185 for >40km

Massive shout out to Ultra Tune Stirling for keeping my poor little van on the road.

Monday was cut a little short by an absolutely horrid noise coming from the engine. Those who've been with me for a while will understand why I instantly panicked!

These guys have managed to get me back on the road (again) and in such a timely fashion (despite not having a booking!).

If you're in need of an honest and reliable mechanic, they're worth the drive!

Thankyou to the people who rescheduled without complaint or fuss 🙏 sometimes life happens and it's out of my control.
