The range of saddles has been developed over the forty plus years by Master Saddler Nathaniel Underwood since he signed up to serve his apprenticeship in 1976.
During this time, the current designs have evolved to combine the best of traditional British craftsmanship whilst incorporating new developments in material technology and ergonomic design. As a result, Nathaniel Underwood is recognised as one of the most experienced saddle fitters in the UK.
Nathaniel retired in 2018 and Optimum performance saddles were taken over by Elly Pitts who worked alongside Nathaniel full time until his retirement. Above all, Nathaniel and Elly have personally designed a range of saddles to suit all disciplines.
Optimum Performance Saddles are hand crafted from the finest quality materials, ooze style and are incredibly comfortable for horse and rider, giving you hours in the saddle! In colclusion, here are just a few examples of their saddles.
