Keeping your tack in top condition doesn’t need to feel like a chore.

Horse riding disciplines each come with their own unique style, history, and requirements—but they all share one thing in common: a strong connection between horse and rider. At Cavaletti Collection, we support every kind of rider, whether you’re schooling for dressage, hacking out for fun, or preparing for your first show jumping class. In this guide, we’ll walk you through some of the most popular horse riding disciplines and explain how to choose the right gear to support you and your horse.

There’s something timeless about the connection between horse and rider — a language of trust, subtlety, and balance. At the centre of that communication sits one of the most important pieces of tack: the Horse Bridle and Reins. Used for thousands of years, they’ve evolved from basic rope fittings into precision-engineered, elegant gear, designed to help both horse and rider perform at their best. Let’s take a closer look at how the Horse Bridle and Reins came to be — from their origins to their modern-day use — and how the right fit can make all the difference.

Finding the right saddle shouldn’t be stressful. It should feel exciting, empowering, and most importantly — personal. Every horse is different, and so is every rider. That’s exactly why we offer a free 14-day saddle trial here at Cavaletti Collection. You get to ride your own horse, in your own tack room, field, or arena, without pressure or showroom sales talk.

A leather saddle plays a big part in your everyday riding, whether you’re out hacking, training at home, or competing. To keep it looking smart and feeling good to ride in, regular care goes a long way. Saddles put up with a lot—sweat, mud, rain, dust, and daily wear—so giving yours a proper clean helps maintain its shape, comfort, and performance over time. This step-by-step guide covers everything you need to know about looking after your leather saddle, from cleaning to conditioning to choosing the right products.

When choosing a saddle for your horse, it's natural to feel a bit overwhelmed. There are many types out there, each with its own purpose. But if you're looking for something versatile, practical, and suited to a range of disciplines, the GP saddle is a smart place to start. At Cavaletti Collection, we’re often asked about GP saddles—what they are, what they can do, and how they fit into a rider’s day-to-day routine.

At Cavaletti Collection, we know that a well-fitted saddle is key to your horse’s comfort, soundness, and ability to perform. Horses change shape with work, age, and seasons, so keeping their saddles fit under regular review is one of the most important parts of caring for them. A professional saddle fitting allows you to assess your horse’s current shape, check that your saddle is still supporting them correctly, and make any adjustments needed.

Good horse care is the foundation of a healthy, happy partnership between the horse and the rider. Whether you’re a first-time owner or a seasoned equestrian, providing consistent care and attention is key to ensuring your horse’s well-being.

From daily routines to seasonal adjustments, understanding the essentials of horse care can make all the difference in your horse’s health, behaviour, and performance.

When precision, security, and close contact are top priorities, many riders are turning to the monoflap jump saddle as their go-to choice. Designed for performance, comfort, and feel, this type of saddle offers unique advantages over traditional double-flap models – especially for riders who compete regularly or demand more from their equipment.
