Saddle-fitting and tack allowing your horse to move as nature intended
Welcome to Haven Horsemanship!
ABOUT
The Haven Horsemanship line of saddles was over 10 years in the making...For over a decade, Haven Horsemanship has held a unique place in the equestrian world — where horse well-being, rider comfort, biomechanics, and compassionate horsemanship come together.
Through years of working with horses of many breeds, body types, histories, and ability levels, founder Ari Kraus began to see something clearly: The relationship between horse, rider, and saddle changes everything. As trainer and instructor, she witnessed how saddle design affects not only movement and performance, but also confidence, comfort, communication, and long-term physical well-being for both horse and human. As part of her work, she spent years supporting horses through physical rehabilitation — including veterinary-supervised rehabilitation for issues such as kissing spine, muscle damage, asymmetry, restriction, and discomfort related to poor saddle fit. Her passion for treeless riding led her to extensive impression pad testing across many brands and models, continually searching for what truly allows horses to move freely and riders to sit in harmony. Over time, riders from around the world began reaching out for help fitting treeless saddles for horses and humans seeking greater comfort together — both in person and virtually.
HH Saddles was born from bringing all of those experiences together. Introduced in 2026, the HH Treeless and Leather Tree Saddle System is being thoughtfully developed for riders who value connection, biomechanics, freedom of movement, and conscious craftsmanship.
Each saddle is ordered with your custom options as a given, not an afterthought. Each saddle is made-to-order, so expect a reasonable 6-8-week lead-time
