Many of our regular customers will know Lisa and David Merrett, who have owned and run KS Kiln Saddlery and the stables for over 40 years. They\u2019ve recently decided to step back from the day-to-day running of the shop.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019re pleased to introduce Sarah and Kieran, who will now be taking over. Sarah holds qualifications in stable management and riding, along with a diploma in horse care, and is already familiar to many of you. She\u2019ll be joined by her husband Kieran, who will be helping with the smooth running of the shop.<\/p>\n

David will continue to offer saddle fitting \u2014 both new and second-hand \u2014 either at the shop (CO2 0HT) or at customers\u2019 premises. He will also still offer coaching for competition riders at all levels.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
