Taking the Reins: A New Chapter at Dutaillis Saddlery
By Sam – Retail Manager | Showjumper | Mum
When the opportunity came up to step into the retail side of Dutaillis Saddlery, my life was far from quiet.
With two young kids, a team of performance horses, and a husband running his own thoroughbred business… let’s just say, my plate was already pretty full.
But the chance to help bring this iconic saddlery online for the first time and take over the day-to-day running of the retail space? I couldn’t say no.
Now, Kate, the incredibly talented leather maker and owner of Dutaillis, has the space and time to meet the growing demand for her beautiful custom tack. Meanwhile, I’ve taken the reins to grow the retail side—both in-store and online.
We’re proud to stock brands we believe in—from everyday equestrian wear to premium performance gear, all at prices that riders can afford. And this is just the beginning… there’s so much more to come.
Thanks for riding along with us!
Warmly,
Sam

Dear Dutaillis Saddlery Team,
My name is Skyla Lyons, and I’m a 17-year-old show jumper with over seven years of riding experience. I currently own my own horse and actively compete in show jumping competitions, where saddlery plays such an important role in performance and connection.
I’ve built an engaged following of close to 2,000 equestrian enthusiasts across social media, where I share my training, competition highlights, and day-to-day experiences with my horse. My audience is primarily made up of riders who are genuinely interested in quality gear and tack that can support them in both comfort and performance.
Dutaillis Saddlery has always stood out to me for its craftsmanship, tradition, and commitment to equestrian excellence. I would be thrilled to collaborate with your brand and showcase your products through consistent, authentic content—posting nearly every day and featuring your saddlery in training sessions, competitions, and behind-the-scenes care.
I believe I can help promote Dutaillis Saddlery to a growing equestrian community that values quality and authenticity, while continuing to use and highlight gear that I genuinely admire.
Thank you for considering me as a potential ambassador—I would love the chance to work together and represent Dutaillis Saddlery in the show jumping community.
Warm regards,
Skyla Lyons
