A heartfelt update from me ❤️
Things have been very quiet at Carrington Saddlery, and I need to be honest—if work continues at this level, it simply won’t be viable for me to keep going.
After 26 years of doing what I love, that’s a really sad thought. I’ve always been passionate about creating well-made, realistically priced saddlery, with options to suit different horses, riders and budgets. Seeing my work enjoyed by you and your horses has meant so much to me.
I haven’t made a final decision, but if things don’t pick up, this Christmas may mark the end of Carrington Saddlery.
I know I’m not the only small business owner feeling the pinch, and customers are doing it tough too. Fuel and everyday costs put pressure on everyone, leaving less room in the budget for those extra purchases.
If you’re able to, please support the small businesses you love. Buy what you can, however small it may be. And when spending isn’t possible, sharing a post, leaving a kind review or recommending them to a friend can still make a difference. Please spread that support around—there are hardworking people and families behind these businesses. ❤️
If you’ve been considering an order, a Christmas gift or some new tack from Carrington, I would truly appreciate your support.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me over the years. I’d love to keep creating for you, and I’m hoping there are still more chapters ahead.
