I want to share some photos and my experience with Colin Dangaard.  My family was turned onto the Australian saddle back in the late 80’s and by the early 90’s we were all outfitted with a saddle from Colin.

Through the years and horses Colin and his crew have taken amazing care of us, even allowing us crazy ladies to bring 3 horses down for saddle fitting.

He graciously put us and the horses up for 3 nights and was an amazing host!!! We even took a night ride with him in the Malibu  hills!!! Such an awesome memory I’ll never forget.

I’ve been riding Colin’s saddles now for a little over 20 years and will continue till the day I die.
