Horse Gear

Quality Horse Gear for Every Discipline

Whether you ride endurance trails through the Karoo, compete in showjumping arenas, or spend your weekends schooling a young horse, the right gear makes a measurable difference to comfort, performance, and safety. Solo Saddlers has been supplying South African riders with dependable horse gear for over 35 years — and our team rides in the same equipment we sell.

What You'll Find in This Collection

This is our full catalogue — over 350 products spanning every category a working yard or competitive rider could need. From saddles and saddlery to bridles, bits, girths, numnahs, boots, bandages, grooming tools, and stable supplies, it's all here. We stock established brands alongside our own Solo Saddlers range, which is manufactured right here in South Africa.

Choosing the Right Gear for Your Horse

Selecting horse gear isn't just about price or appearance — it's about fit, function, and the demands of your discipline. An endurance rider needs lightweight, breathable equipment that won't cause rubs over long distances. A showjumper needs secure, close-contact tack that allows freedom of movement over fences. A racehorse trainer needs tough, no-nonsense work gear that can handle daily use.

Our staff are experienced riders across endurance, jumping, trail riding, and racing. That means when you phone or email us, you're getting advice from people who actually use this equipment — not salespeople reading off a spec sheet.

South African Made, South African Tested

Many of our leather goods — saddles, bridles, breastplates, and accessories — are handcrafted in our own workshop. South African leather and conditions are different from European ones, and we design accordingly. Our gear is built to handle the heat, dust, and sweat that come with riding in this country.

How to Shop

If you already know what you need, use the categories to narrow things down. If you're setting up a new horse or upgrading an entire tack room, start with the big items — saddle, bridle, girth — and work outward. Not sure where to begin?
