Our ambassadors are riders first. They come from different disciplines, different yards, and different backgrounds — some compete, some hack, some are just starting out with a young horse. What they have in common is an honest opinion and a horse they care about.
Every rider on this page has used a Cavaletti Collection saddle in their day-to-day work with their horse — and agreed to share what they actually found.
If you are thinking about trying a Cavaletti saddle, their stories are a good place to start. And if our 14-day free trial interests you, you can find out more below.
We currently have ambassadors riding across dressage, show jumping, eventing, and general riding — across the UK and internationally. Profiles are added as new riders join the team.
Lizzie and Archie are a year and a half into their partnership — a 17-year-old rider and a thoroughbred ex-racer working their way through dressage together.
Archie is Lizzie's first horse, and she has been retraining him since July 2023. He is, by her own admission, a horse of a lifetime — the kind of partnership that teaches you as much as you teach them.
The pair compete with ROR and are building toward preliminary dressage tests in 2026, taking each step at Archie's pace. Retraining a thoroughbred takes patience, and Lizzie has plenty of it.
She rides in a Cavaletti Collection dressage saddle and says the comfort it gives both her and Archie has made a real difference to their work together. Follow their progress on Instagram.
Phoebe is a 21-year-old eventer from Australia, riding three Cavaletti saddles across two horses at very different stages of their careers.
She competed up to 1 star with Spirit until he sustained a career-ending injury. Rather than stepping back, Phoebe redirected — Spirit is now working through dressage, and young warmblood Rusty is being introduced to eventing from the ground up.
Rusty is talented and still finding his feet. Phoebe is taking her time with him, and she's looking forward to seeing how far they can go together.
She rides in three Cavaletti saddles and values the adjustability of the gullet system as both horses develop. Her personal favourite is the Monoflap Jump Saddle — one of the few she has found that works well for riders with long legs who still want to ride with short stirrups. It has also made a real difference to her position over a fence.
Follow Phoebe and her horses on Instagram for updates from both ends of the arena.

We are always looking for riders with real stories to tell.
Tell us about yourself, your horse, your discipline, and why you think you would be a good fit for the Cavaletti Collection ambassador team.
I'm Viktoria, and I'm from Styria, Austria. I'm a passionate show jumper and the proud owner of a talented mare.
I bought her as a 3-year-old, and we've grown together ever since. Now, at 7 years old, she's successfully competing in show jumping — it's been an incredible journey full of learning, patience, and unforgettable moments.
We compete in show jumping and dressage, and last year we even turned our hands and hooves to eventing — hoping to have a good crack at it again if the weather is on our side.
On Instagram I share our everyday life, training progress, challenges, and highlights as we continue to grow as a team. My goal is to inspire others working with young horses.
I love building a bond based on trust, and I believe in training with heart, consistency, and joy. I'm so pleased to represent a brand that truly reflects my values and passion for the sport.
I'm Jodie, and I ride with my 4-year-old Welsh X, Jaffa. We're happy hackers with dressage ambitions — and a Cavaletti GP saddle that fits us both perfectly.
I first came across Cavaletti Collection through my previous pony, Sorrel. We had a VSD saddle together, and it was the most comfortable saddle I had ever sat in.
Sorrel passed away in September. I kept her saddle, hoping it would fit Jaffa, but when the saddle fitter visited it was slightly too long for him. Fortunately, she had a shorter GP with her — and we made the swap.
Jaffa is my first youngster and mostly we hack, but we hope to venture into some dressage and fun rides as he settles into his work. Doing all of it in a saddle that fits makes everything a little easier.
The account started as a tribute to Sorrel, and it's become a record of everything Jaffa and I are figuring out together. Come and follow along.
Jodie and Harry are four years into their partnership — an ex-racehorse who has taken to dressage, show jumping, and even eventing with the same calm energy he brings to everything.
Harry is an 8-year-old OTTB and, by all accounts, one of the more relaxed horses you will come across. He has been a joy to bring on, and the pair have gradually expanded their disciplines — dressage and show jumping are their mainstay, with eventing now part of the picture too.
They started with the Cavaletti Collection Monoflap Jump Saddle, which Jodie fell for quickly. The Monoflap Dressage Saddle followed, and she describes the combination of comfort and security as unlike anything she had ridden in before.
Harry is proof that the right tack, on the right horse, at the right time, makes a difference you feel within a few strides.

We love our saddle, it has revolutionised our work. Harry is so much more comfortable and I feel so secure which has really helped us accelerate our jumping career. I wish I had come across this brand sooner!
Hello, I am Jodie and my horse is Harry.
Harry is an 8-year-old ex-racehorse who I have owned for the last 4 years! He is a super chilled dude who is a joy to have around.
We love dressage and show jumping and last year we even turned our hands and hooves to eventing and hope to have a good crack at it in 2024 – if the weather is on our side!
We started off with the Cavaletti Monoflap Jump saddle which I fell in love with.
Since then we have also added the Monoflap Dressage saddle to our collection and I have never felt comfort and security like it!!
The knee blocks are a real game changer!!
We are so excited to continue to our partnership with the Cavaletti Collection ambassador team!

My name is Lizzie. I am 17, my horse is called Archie, he’s 10, and we have been a partnership for a year and a half.
Archie is a thoroughbred ex-racer, and I have been retraining him since July 2023. Archie is my first horse and is a horse of a lifetime, and I will be holding lots of memories from learning together.
This year, I’m wanting to get out and do some more dressage competitions, as we both have enjoyed doing previous competitions with ROR.
I’m really looking forward to becoming part of the ambassador team for Cavaletti Collection saddles, as I love my dressage saddle as it’s so comfortable for both Archie and me and looks great too.
And I can’t wait to progress further and start doing some preliminary tests this year.
My name is Phoebe, and I am a 21-year-old Australian eventer.
I have competed up to 1 star eventing with my horse Spirit until he unfortunately sustained a career ending injury.
We are now turning our hand at dressage with the help of our beautiful mono flap dressage saddle.
Currently I am introducing my young WB Rusty to the world of eventing.
He is an incredibly talented horse and I am looking forward to progressing up the levels with him.
I own three Cavaletti saddles and love how comfortable and adjustable they are.
My personal favourite is the mono flap jump saddle, which is one of the few saddles I've found that caters to riders with long legs who still want to ride with short stirrups.
It has also greatly improved my position over a fence.
I’m Jodie and the face behind @sorrelsadventures! I have a 14.1hh Welsh X called Jaffa.
He is 4 years old and my first youngster.
I first came across Cavaletti with my previous pony, Sorrel. We had a VSD, and it was the comfiest saddle I’ve ever sat in
Sadly, Sorrel passed away in September. I’d kept her saddle, hoping it would fit Jaffa, but it was slightly too long for him when the saddle fitter came.
Fortunately, she had a shorter GP with her, and I traded my VSD for it!!
We’re mostly happy hackers but hope to venture into some dressage and fun rides when Jaffa has done a bit more,
and happy to be doing all of this in our Cavalatti saddle! Excited to be a part of the Cavaletti BA team!
