Our Story

OUR STORY


The Performance Saddlefits Store was formed as there was a need for a central place that our clients could access the products that we recommended during our saddle fittings and new bridle fitting services.

We specialize in providing quality products that have a purpose or function that are designed to assist with fitting issues and focus on improving horse and rider comfort and overall performance. We also provide access to our exclusive saddle manufacturer’s saddlery accessories – all in one place so you don’t have to go searching!

Store Manager - Tara Miller

Tara is a trained saddle fitter with the Society of Master Saddlers (UK) and still actively saddlefits in the Greater Hunter, Northern Rivers and Mid North Coast regions in NSW. Tara is also a BHS Riding Coach and has a keen interest and good knowledge in horse and rider biomechanics.

Tara has completed Level 1 and Level 2 Equine Functional Posture courses with Dr Raquel Butler, and is also trained in Equine Assisted Learning with Equimotional (UK). Tara also has experience with bridle fitting and is currently training to become a qualified Bridle Fitter with the Society of Master Saddlers (UK) and will be providing bridle fitting advice and consultations in the near future.

 

Tara has recently taken over management of the PSF Store with her partner Brian from Lyn Prescott who has recently retired.

 

Lyn has done an incredible job managing and growing the Store, Tara and Brian share the same dedication and are passionate about educating horse owners and helping horses and riders perform at their best through well designed, functional saddlery products.

What gets Tara excited
Tara took over the Store because she strongly believes in the services Performance Saddlefits provide and what the business stands for with their fitting principles. The store gives access to both our national network of saddle fitters and clients to proven quality products and accessories to support correctly fitting saddles and bridles.

With a focus on client education, Tara enjoys helping clients with correctly fitting equipment and accessories and offering a range of quality products. Tara’s objective is to assist more horse owners to achieve a better outcome and performance through a happier horse.

Tara says:

”I’m a passionate equine professional having owned, ridden, bred and trained horses my whole life. I have a keen interest in horse welfare and want to educated horse owners about the benefits of correctly fitting riding equipment to improve horse and rider comfort and performance.

Poor fitting saddlery equipment has in recent studies shown to be one of the leading causes of horse lameness issues. Many of these issues can be prevented if we can educate more owners/riders and provide quality equipment to support the horse.

Even a well-fitting saddle or bridle can sometimes need some modifications by using a support accessory to achieve the best fit.

I have a good knowledge on horse anatomy and biomechanics and as a saddle fitter and trainee bridle fitter my number one goal is to look after you and your horse.”

How she spends her time

When I’m not busy saddle fitting or assisting customers,

I love spending time training my young horses that I’ve bred. I also enjoy attending riding clinics and competing my horses in local event.

In my spare time (which there isn’t much) I love hanging out with all our farm animals. I also have a green thumb and enjoy growing our own organic fruit, vegetables and flowers with my husband Brian.

We also love to cook for family and friends and preserve our home grown produce.

Brian and I also love to travel overseas when we can arrange to leave our busy farm.
