want your productin the arena?

Two days with the most focused audience in the industry: saddle fitters, saddle makers and tack shops who work with products like yours every day.

why exhibit

the most focused audience in the industry.

Every visitor fits, makes or sells saddles for a living. No consumers, no day-trippers, no browsing — just professionals who advise riders every day and decide what goes in their van.

  1. professionals only

    100% B2B: saddle fitters, saddlers and saddle makers, plus dealers and tack shops. Every conversation at your stand is with someone who can recommend, stock or buy your product.

  2. an international audience

    In 2026, people came from 19 countries. Meet your dealers and find new ones, all under one roof.

  3. show it in action

    Demonstrate in the arena, on a real horse with a rider — explained by you, watched by professionals along the rail.

  4. an intimate setting

    No endless halls. Real conversations at your stand, right after people have seen your product work.

  5. one topic, no noise

    Saddle fitting and everything around it — nothing else competing for attention. Your message doesn't get diluted.

who exhibits

not just saddles.

We have a strong line-up of saddle brands, with room for a few more. But if saddle fitters use it, stock it or sell it, it belongs in the arena too.

  • saddles

    Show yours in motion, side by side with the brands your future dealers already know.

  • girths & stirrup leathers

    The parts that make or break a fit — and that saddle fitters advise on every day.

  • pads & accessories

    Shims, half pads and everything else a fitter carries in the van.

  • vans & workshops

    Van fit-outs, saddle cabinets and racks, built for people who are on the road all day.

  • software & apps

    Planning, client records, fitting reports: tools made for the saddle fitting business.

  • measuring tech

    Scanners, pressure mats, sensors — anything that turns a fit into data.

Something else saddle fitters would love? Tell us. We're curious.

how it works

from interest list to arena.

  1. join the interest list

    Leave your details below. No obligation, no payment.

  2. we reach out

    When exhibitor packages open, we contact the interest list — 2026 brands first.

  3. pick your package

    We talk through what fits your brand: your stand, your demo, your goals.

  4. step into the arena

    8 & 9 october 2027. You bring your product, we bring the arena and the right audience.

what to expect

Packages and prices follow. This is what every SaddleSummit exhibitor can count on.

  • A stand right around the arenas, in the middle of the action
  • A demo slot in the arena, on a horse with a rider — we arrange the combination, or bring your own
  • An audience of saddle fitting professionals only, from all over the world
  • Time and space for real conversations, both days
  • Lead scan: coming in 2027, to be confirmed

honest about places

limited. selective. on purpose.

We only have so much arena time and floor space, and we want a line-up where every brand stands out. So we're selective about who joins — that's how we keep it diverse. Brands that exhibited in 2026 get priority.

  • limited places
  • a diverse line-up, by design
  • 2026 brands get priority

exhibitor questions

good to know.

what does exhibiting cost?

Packages and prices are being finalised. Join the interest list and we'll send you the options as soon as they open — no obligation.

we exhibited in 2026. do we get priority?

Yes. Brands that exhibited in 2026 hear first and get priority. Tick the box in the form so we know.

how do you select brands?

Places are limited and we want a diverse line-up, so we look at the mix as a whole: different makers, different approaches, genuine innovation. Joining the interest list is the first step.

we don't make saddles. can we still exhibit?

Yes, please. Girths, stirrup leathers, pads, van fit-outs, saddle cabinets, software, apps, measuring tech — if saddle fitters use it, it belongs here.

can we demonstrate on a horse?

That's the whole idea. Every brand can do a demonstration in the arena on a horse with a rider, and static checks happen in the paddocks. Demo slots are scheduled across the two days — not every brand demos on both days.

do we need to bring our own horse and rider?

No. We arrange horses and riders for the demos. Prefer your own combination? That's fine too — just let us know.

who visits?

Only professionals: saddle fitters, saddlers and saddle makers, manufacturers, dealers and tack shops. In 2026 they came from 19 countries.

will there be lead scanning?

We're working on it: a lead scan that lets you scan visitor tickets and leave with a lead list. Coming in 2027, to be confirmed.
