Many riders walk uncomfortably around show grounds in riding boots, fearful that if pulled off, they may not be able to squeeze their boots back on in time for the next class.

Riders wearing boots with broken zips are forced to secure them with a combination of safety pins and gaffer tape – not the best look for the show ring!

Either way the solution is to buy costly new boots that need to be worn in, or to find someone who can insert or fix boot zips.

 

 

• zip insertion to pull-on boots (along the back seam, Dressage or Polo style)
• zip replacement
• boot leg widening
elastic and leather insertions
boot leg narrowing or shortening
boot patching

In 1998  Lucy Francis commenced her Saddlery training at Cordwainers College in London.

At her graduation she was awarded first prize for the Advanced paper set by the Worshipful Company of Loriners.

She went on to study for a BSc(Hons) in Equine Science at Hartpury College and during her final year of study she also worked as a Research Assistant.

After graduating, Lucy worked with an established Saddler to expand her knowledge and skills. she was trained to measure people for made to measure boots.

Some customers opted to select ‘pull on’ boots, believing that the aesthetic finish was more important than the functional benefits of adding zips. She was trained to insert zips into pull on boots and to replace broken zips using a traditional treadle sewing machine.
