Dark Horse Saddlery is proud to be a sponsor for JILL BARRON, Working Equitation judge, clinician, educator, and competitor. Doesn't she look lovely in her Portuguese clothing? You can find these items under the heading  "FOR THE RIDER".

You can find Jill at Barron Barn, here we work with riders and horses of varying levels to train in working equitation. This provides riders the opportunity to unite in tradition, sportsmanship, and animal welfare. Riders use precise horsemanship to display and test their harmony, maneuverability and cattle handling skills.
