Gumbits
Matt first started using Gumbits in 2014 when one of his top horses started suffering from a dry mouth, leading to cracks on his lips and some teeth grinding. We happened upon Gumbits in a tack store at a horseshow and decided to give them a try. Matt’s horse performed his best dressage test of his career so far, and his teeth grinding wasn’t to be heard again. From that point on we were believers and don’t ride without Gumbits. It can help relieve dry mouth or teeth grinding, but also helps to promote healthy salivation and a good ride in horses that don’t have any particular problems. And the horses always love hearing the bag rattling with Gumbits before their ride!

Tucci
Malvern Saddlery is one of very few dealers of Tucci boots in the US, carrying both the off-the-rack tall boots and half chaps/paddock boots and made-to-order custom boots. Tucci has so many options when it comes to the custom boots, and my favorite part about my beautiful dress boots is the soft ankle and calf with the stiff outer leg. I honestly cannot walk from the stabling area to the arena without getting compliments on my boots, they are the nicest pair of boots I’ve ever owned. They also have so many options for paddock boots and half chaps so you can maintain a unique style while schooling at home as well.
Voltaire
Matt and Cecily have been using Voltaire Saddles and accessories since 2012. Having ridden in other brands of French saddles, we had adopted the opinion that the saddles themselves were basically similar between brands and that it was the person fitting your horse that made the real difference. After riding in a Voltaire for the first time we discovered that the saddles are a cut above the rest in many ways. First and foremost, the shape of the panels sit well on the horse’s back, as opposed to many other saddles that may rock around due to the banana shape that the panels have. Voltaire also has the best fitters working with them, making sure the panels are customized to the horse so that the balance of each saddle is perfect. They also understand that event horses in particular change shape often, and work with you to make necessary changes to the saddle as the horse changes. The quality of the leather and craftsmanship of the saddles is second to none, making the break-in time practically non-existent while still being a durable saddle. Lastly, the saddles put the rider in a wonderful balance, and the fitters work with each rider to make sure that the saddle enhances their position and meets even the pickiest preferences.
