The Year in Review: Cavaletti Highlights and Rider Achievements 2025

From local equestrian events to the big-name horse events UK riders dream of, 2025 has been packed with firsts, personal bests and “we actually did it!” moments for the Cavaletti community. In every ring, arena and warm-up, we’ve seen Cavaletti saddles, bridles and accessories helping riders feel secure, horses move more freely and partnerships grow in confidence.

It’s also been a year where saddle shopping has become more thoughtful. Riders are digging deeper into fit, comfort and long-term soundness – especially for broader types who have really benefited from our saddles. The goal is simple: happy horses, confident riders and tack that genuinely supports you both.

A Big Year for Cavaletti at Equestrian Events

Across the UK, our feed has been full of Cavaletti tack in action at equestrian events of every level. From low-key unaffiliated days to stay-away horse events UK wide, the same themes kept popping up: better balance, calmer horses and riders who felt ready to ask for a little bit more.
Team Allerton have been a huge part of that story. Their busy season has taken Cavaletti kit into buzzing warm-up rings, atmospheric horse events UK and pressure-filled arenas where every detail counts. Time and again, they’ve shown how the right saddle can give riders the security to focus on their line, rhythm and feel.
We’ve also seen plenty of “everyday wins” – those first clear rounds, neater tests and braver hacks that mean just as much as the big podium moments. When tack fits, equestrian events feel less intimidating and more like the celebration of partnership they’re meant to be.

Smarter Saddle Shopping for Every Horse & Rider

One of the biggest conversations this year has been how to support horses with different shapes and builds — from wider, shorter backs to those needing extra shoulder freedom. Our carefully designed saddles have become a go‑to for riders who want a close‑contact feel without compromising comfort or performance. Riders tell us that switching to a correctly fitted saddle has transformed everything from schooling sessions to busy horse events across the UK.

More riders than ever are choosing trials and fit checks to make saddle shopping a calm, informed process rather than a rushed decision. Instead of guessing, they’re riding in different models, noticing how their horses move more freely and how their own position improves. Thoughtful saddle shopping like this pays off in the ring, on the yard, and out hacking.

If you’re planning an upgrade for next season, now is the perfect time to explore our full range of jump, dressage, and GP saddles on the main collection page. Pair them with comfort‑led bridles for the ultimate riding experience — our blog on the benefits of anatomical bridles is a brilliant place to start.

Rider Stories: Team Allerton and the Cavaletti Community

What brings all of this to life are the people in the tack. Team Allerton have flown the flag for Cavaletti at horse events UK throughout 2025, from educational clinics to serious competition days. Their updates have shown exactly how much difference a balanced saddle makes when the pressure is on.

We’ve also heard from countless everyday riders. Horse owners finally feel their saddles stay put on every transition; competitors who took the time to rethink saddle shopping and saw their horses soften, stretch and swing; grassroots combinations heading to their first equestrian events with a Cavaletti kit they really trust.

Behind every snapshot, there’s the same message: better comfort, better confidence, better riding.
