About Us

East Coast Equine Saddlery, situated on the scenic East Coast of Gisborne, New Zealand, embodies our lifelong passion for horses, the rugged terrain of station farming, and the countless hours spent in the saddle.

At ECES, we operate under a straightforward philosophy - "Good gear. Solid Foundations." Our simplicity lies in the core principles:

  1. Proper Fit: We prioritise well-fitted gear that guarantees the utmost comfort for both you and your horse.

  2. Quality Craftsmanship: Our collection features well-crafted saddles and leather tack that are built to last.

Saddles are more than just gear; they play a crucial role in forming a vital connection between you and your loyal equine companion, and it must:

  • Fit Perfectly: Ensuring that it suits both you and your horse for the task at hand.
  • Provide Security: Keeping you safe over challenging terrains and at different speeds.
  • Allow Freedom: Letting your horse move naturally, regardless of the activity or terrain.
  • Ensure Comfort: Making sure you're as comfortable at the end of a long day as you were at the start.

When you choose one of our saddles, you gain the confidence of a 5-day return policy and a 5-year replacement warranty for the saddle tree.

Explore our collection, and let us know what you think. Whether you trail rider, trek, compete, or simply just enjoy time with your horse, our goal is to help you find a saddle that you can be proud of.

"You've got to love the process more than the result"
