This collaboration brings together two distinguished equestrian organisations with a shared commitment to horse welfare, rider education, and the development of young equestrians.  GFS Saddles will help enhance training materials and offer guidance across Training programmes to the Pony Club's Saddlery Partner.

GFS Saddles will support Members and Volunteers by providing practical resources on saddle fit, horse comfort, and rider confidence. Through The Pony Club Training pathway, the company will help young riders build essential knowledge and skills that strengthen their long-term horsemanship and wellbeing.

In addition, GFS Saddles will become the official Show Jumping Sponsor for The Pony Club. GFS will have a significant presence at The Pony Club Championships, supporting all Show Jumping elements and Pony Club International Alliance Show Jumping, offering visibility, guidance, and support to competitors at all levels.

Geoff Fieldhouse, Owner and Director of GFS Saddles, says, “Our mission is to support riders from their very first steps in equestrian sport. Partnering with The Pony Club allows us to play a key role in nurturing the next generation, combining tradition with innovation to ensure horse and rider welfare remain at the heart of the journey,”

Jo Harrow, Head of Commercial and Marketing at The Pony Club, says, “Welcoming GFS Saddles to The Pony Club is an exciting step in the continuation of the high standards of education and events provided by our organisation. We are thrilled to partner with a company whose values so closely align with our own, and look forward to developing our relationship to benefit Members across the country.” 

Together, GFS Saddles and The Pony Club share the core ideals of training, welfare, and performance. Our partnership is about more than supporting an organisation, it is about joining a tradition rooted in excellence and community, while expanding educational opportunities for Pony Club Members and raising standards across the sport.
