"I am so grateful to be supported by Saddle & Canter! Since trying my first pieces in the unboxing opportunity I have been so impressed with the quality and stunning attention to detail. The leggings are a perfect fabric for any occasion, but especially good in the heat of summer, and the grip is perfect to keep me on the unpredictable young ones. Every product is fabulous but my favourite has to be the paisley meadow baselayer - this just feels beautiful to wear and looks absolutely stunning with its unique design. All the products match the quality of European brands I have tried without the price tag, and the added bonus of being an NZ small business. Thank you Saddle & Canter!"
