“Since Melinda
balanced my saddle, I have noticed a huge difference both in the way I
ride and the way my horse moves. My legs just seem to fall naturally
where they should be now, and my seat has really improved, making my
aides much more effective! Lucky is now really able to lift his back
and engage his hind end. Melinda is very knowledgeable and I
appreciate all her help! “

“Since Melinda at Rice Saddlery fitted and
balanced my horse Solo’s saddle, he has improved a great deal. Solo
is much happier and doing great with the balancing, and so am I.

“I
have been using Rice Saddlery for years; it just makes common sense that my
horse’s tack should fit perfectly balanced. Their technique of balancing my
saddle helped me to excel and win at the National Quarter Horse Congress. I
call on Melinda first before I start any of my young horses and/or training
projects. Her knowledge and experience is definitely worth it! “

“I am so glad I found
Melinda and Rice Saddlery; they have made a world of difference in my riding.
Before they fitted my saddles, I was having trouble with my leg; I thought it
was because I had a “weak” leg. Once they balanced my saddle, my riding
excelled. I now feel confident enough to compete my horse! “

Hi Mel,
How can I thank you! After a complete analysis of
my horse's body structure, you provided me with a detailed description
of what to look for in a saddle for him. Then, proceeded to assist me
in that search. You showed me many suggestions via the Internet as
well as in person; always focusing on what was best for him. You were
there to assess each saddle I tried with your always honest comments.
I felt supported by you throughout the process. It was refreshing to
work with someone whose main concern was what was best for the horse
and rider, not how much money you can make! Your expertise is a
blessing in the horse world. Riding well and balanced,
