My best memory of my Mom is she gave the best heartfelt hugs!! And since I just lost her 2 months ago, I miss her and her healing hugs more than words can express!❤😢❤
Still making memories with my mom who just turned 90. Growing up there are times when you feel vunerable, alone, and so unsure of yourself. A cherished memory with my Mom was a time when she saw my fragile state as a young teen and acted on it. She took extra time just being with me, showing how I can be strong but also saying it is ok to need each other. The feeling of love and security I felt then has stuck with me and I did the same for my daughter
Life lessons learned from mom: Give the best and biggest portion of your meal to a friend, sit up straight, lie not, love hard, show kindness to all, save abandoned animals and pets, remember you are a small human that can have a big impact on others. Above all, forgive yourself, forgive others, and don't go to bed angry. Miss you, mom, and all those who have fought cancer.
Love the pink! My mom taught me that you can have strength and quiet grace together. She is such a refined, reserved woman who exemplifies grace even in stressful situations. Her resilience in the face of two bouts of breast cancer, my father's heart attack, and later death from Covid has truly shown that sometimes the strongest people you know are the ones with steel under their quiet exterior.
I LOVE this girth! My Mom would drive me to the farm where I boarded my horse in Chester Springs, PA every day. The drive was long and she would sit in her car reading her book while I groomed, rode, and spent time with my horse. At the time I never thought about it but looking back I realized how much she sacrificed so I could do this. My daughter is 26 years old and I have passed this love for horses to her. I can’t imagine my life without my Mom, my daughter, or my horse! 💕
Being a mother of adult aged children I realize the importance of instilling core values at a young age, love, acceptance, honesty and faith. Some of these I got from my mother and those memories have stayed with me, some it took me years to realize. As mothers we do the best we can with what we know. Bless all you mothers
So many wonderful memories with my mom, it's hard to choose one! One time we were in Oregon visiting, we were at a beach one day. I was chasing the waves as they were going out. My mom warned me not to do this, I was 10yrs old and didn't listen to her. One of the waves caught me and pulled me under. I was trying to claw at the sand to pull myself up, next thing I remember getting pulled up and out of the water. My mom carried me out of the water, she was my hero! I remember looking up at her saying that the Pacific Ocean didn't taste good! We both laughed at that, that day and still laugh about it today!
My mom taught me resilience. She endured and survived stage IV breast cancer, a miracle itself. Lived another 25 years and survived a malignant melanoma. I think of her grit and resilience often as she passed away 5 years ago from CKD, likely from all the treatments she endured over the years. She was an amazing and strong woman and I am forever grateful for her influence.
The best lesson my mom has taught me is to not let anyone treat me less than I’m worth. As for memory it’s hard to choose one. Right now I’m enjoying every day I get to spend watching my mom enjoy time with my son (her grandson) sharing moments with the two of them together really reminds me how blessed I am.
When I was 11 years old my dad got me a pony! I was so happy, a dream come true! My mom was the driving force behind my dad finally buying me a pony! She knew how much I wanted a pony and that I had been a horse lover from the time I could walk and talk. My pony Jake was my best friend, and I rode him everywhere! I had a wonderful loving mother that was behind the scenes in making my dream of having a pony come true!
I started showing small local open shows. I always remember my mom would cook chicken to bring and anything else she could think of to support me and my sister at the horse show. Looking back, I regret that I didn't appreciate her more at the time, I was a teenager and I was selfish. My mom has been gone now for 7 years and I miss her every day, but I know she is proud of me and her granddaughters who continue to show as I did. I appreciated her more when I became a mother myself and I'm glad that I was so close to her in her later years. I just wish I had gotten smart sooner and hadn't wasted years before we became close again.
My favorite memory with my mother was when she brought me to my first riding lesson, she rode as a kid when she was around my age but sadly had to stop when she moved. Her support through my riding has been amazing and I’m so happy that she wants me to continue riding even though she can’t.
Yes, I need this as a single mother of three and now a single grandparent of three, helping raise one... My horse keeps me sane and we really need your new beautiful girth 🎉❤🤠
I am the most blessed mother daughter and granddaughter there could be. The gift I have received is today. I get to live with my 99 year old grams who continues to teach me daily about life, my mother is 75 and live here as well. Not a day goes by I don’t feel loved and special because of these two women. If my daughter who is 28 gains half of what I get from them the world will be a better place. Family is everything. Don’t take a Mom for granted.
Favorite memory of my mom: Horseback riding as a family for hours, in all kind of weather in the Pennsylvania State Game Lands on Sunday afternoons Love Total Saddlery products by the way. The quality craftsmanship and leather is unsurpassed ! Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers !
My mom is amazing and has always been, so it’s hard to pick a “favorite memory” but the day she took me to get my very first horse, was pretty amazing!! Now 35 years later, I’m loving doing the horse life with my kiddos!
I love this girth! My mother taught me to be a warrior. She passed away from cancer but, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer I knew she was there helping me to fight and become a survivor! I feel like this beautiful pink girth could be in honor of breast cancer as well as Mother’s Day. 💕
My mum taught me to ride at a very young age what better lesson and gift is that 🥰. My greatest memory is her and I riding together on the side of a dirt rode with my sister on her little push bike. She is now turning 72 and the 3 of us still ride together to this day.
My mum is the most beautiful, amazing woman on the planet .. kind, sweet and thoughtful but do not mess with her she will mess you up 🤣! She has cared for me and my 3 siblings and my dad giving the best advice and endless love . She is now 77 and suffering from dementia so now we all take care of her. She is a warrior and on her good days we laugh so hard we nearly roll around on the floor .. what a women ! My wish is to be a amazing woman like her for my boys
My mom took me to riding lessons starting at the age of 8yrs old..she took me to the barn everyday, and would get up super early and spend all day with me at horse shows for many many years!..that was so very special to me …I am now 44 ..a mom of 2 girls and I now spend most of my days taking them to and from their sports , games etc and I love every minute of it…I attribute that love and devotion that I give to my girls from my mom giving that to me when I was a child. This stretchtec dressage girth with pink would look stunning on my Friesian …pink is also my favorite color.
So glad I found Total Saddle Fit, the girth journey has been a long one. I have the best mom, and one of my fondest memories was coming home from school and calling out her name as I ran in the door. She was always there for us.
I absolutely love this clever design and would totally like to try it on my 16 year old thoroughbred! I am a mom of two amazing kids, and one thing my mom told me when I had my first child was that if my kids ever did something wrong or bad, to take any object or activity they liked away, to correct them, but to never ever take away my love for them, something Im proud to say I have strictly followed in my 18 years as a mom of 2 humans, 2 dogs and a horse… thank you to all the moms that love unconditionally, as that will be passed on to the ultimate benefit of humanity 💜🐎🥂
Such a beautiful girth, just enough, pop of color to stand out! My mom and I started riding together almost 2 years ago now. I’ve had the privilege of being able to ride with my mom almost everyday, and have her support while trying to learn to ride as a young adult. My mother the most selfless, giving, an amazing person I have ever met. Before we started riding, she would never take any time to herself, worked her self practically to death, and would never do anything for herself. When she started riding and fell in love with our mare, she finally started to find herself and do something that makes her happy. She is a fantastic rider, and I am so beyond grateful that our beautiful mare helped my mother find something for herself, and my mom found a mare who would give every ounce of herself to her person ❤
What a gorgeous girth! 😍 My favourite memory with my grandma, who was the only positive mother figure I had, is being in the kitchen together, cooking and baking. She was the most patient person on this planet and I wish she could have been here to meet my children. Pink-obsessed mom of a 6 and 4 year old 🦄
My mom has been the most important person in my life since my dad died of cancer. She is such a strong amazing woman and I hope my daughters and I take after her. I would always remember their strength when looking at this wonderful cinch
My mom taught me the importance of a good work ethic. She taught me by example, to work hard, give your job your all and to give your best effort always. She bought me my first horse when I was 12 and was a cheerleader for me then and for my 4 daughters now ❤
My mom was deathly afraid of horses because of a trauma in her childhood, but she always supported my passion to ride. I can still remember hearing her gasps from across the arena when I'd fall and she was certain I was going to die or be seriously maimed for life.😊
I Love the pink metallic accents on the girth!! It would match my fuschia & chrome chaps! My mom taught me to be well-rounded: she worked really hard as a teacher, but also played tennis & then golf. She was also very competitive at her sports & stuck with them, trained hard. She is my inspiration to ride, continue with lessons and show.
My mom was amazing she passed away 9years ago, she always encouraged myself and my son that we can do anything. She was my biggest fan, I miss her everyday. She bought me my first pony ❤ the biggest lesson she taught me was to be a great mom and grandma.
My mon has supported me my whole life. Going out of her way to provide for my horse habit even when we had no money! For 50 YEARS! My mom is still supporting me everyday. Would love to ride with this girth to remember my mom’s support someday when she is gone. ❤️
My mom has taught me that nice wins! She is the nicest person I know and will help anyone in anyway she can. When she was diagnosed with breast cancer last year I was so scared. She is in remission now and this girth would be so cool to have to remember she won that battle. All while still being the kindest person and helping others, while she was the one that needed help!
My mom gave me the love of horses and always supported me in my passion for horses. She loved horses, and people and taught me to always look for the good in everyone. I miss her love of life and her laugh, she's been in heaven for a few years. (I love my current total saddle fit girth and this one would amazing on my mare).
Love it! I am a mom of 2. My husband and i own and operate our own business and i have a tack shop on the side. My momma taught me so much! She taught me to love Jesus, work hard, have fun, and how to cook!
My mother taught me that you sometimes you have to make tough decisions that are hard at the time but pay off later. It is not always easy making hard choices that challenge your boundaries or abilities but keeping the end game in mind is important and I am grateful for that because I have had to stretch myself many times in challenging circumstances but it has paid off. Justin your craftmanship is beautiful, you are gifted and talented and it is lovely to see someone doing something they are so good at and making a living from it. I have your TSF shoulder relief girths and love them. Pink is my favourite colour and I am a very proud mother of 5 wonderful children, the last one being born when I was 46 which has really been interesting being an old mum.
Love this girth!!! Some of my favorite memories with my Mom are all the riding lessons and horse shows she brought me to when I was young! She never missed a single one! She also taught me to enjoy every minute with my own son.
No matter how old I get my mom is always there with words of wisdom. Somehow she knows when to be harsh and when I need a word of encouragement. My favorite memories are times we would share with my first horse I bought.
This girth is amazing! My favorite memories with my mom are not the big things, but the little ones. When we have lunch together or talk on the phone every day, it makes me smile to know we're friends even more than mother/daughter.
Impossible to share one favorite memory or lesson from my mom, but she was always unconditionally loving and supportive, and I still feel her support even after her unexpected death four years ago. She and my grandmother were the reason I was able to start riding horses at age 7 and it was my mom who drove me to all of my competitions and Pony Club events throughout my childhood/teenage years. I only hope that I can be as supportive of a mom to my 6 year old son!!
I think the strongest lesson I learned from my mom was to persevere. She faced some very challenging health issues in her later years, debilitating issues, and yet she never stopped living, getting up, getting dressed, going out, entertaining, welcoming me and my family into her home; she was stronger than I realized. I hope I have shown my kids that same perseverence. By the way .... that girth would look very handsome on my friesian gelding.... and my Custom Saddle fitter just recommended one of your girths to improve his saddle fit. :)
My mom taught me to put other people first and that we are blessed to be a blessing...this helps us to be mindful that there are sooo many people that are in need and need our help,
My mom was the kindest most selfless person I have ever known. Her children, all 6 of us, were her top priority. She thought about us more than she thought about herself. Unfortunately she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2011 and it resurfaced a few years ago. It metastasized aggressively right around Christmas of 2021. I feared it would be our last Christmas, her and my birthday, and last year her last Mother's Day. She passed away October 2022. My fondest memory during that time was the Friday before she passed. We had a heartfelt conversation and we held hands and prayed together. We prayed for a miracle. That was the last coherent conversation I had with her. When I saw the pink on the girth, the exact one I am about to buy as my horse now needs a 22, it reminded me of my mom and her 1 year battle with breast cancer. I'd love to represent my mom as I ride in upcoming dressage shows with my heart horse.
I absolutely love my ex-broodmares Shoulder Relief Girth. She loves it too. She is a mother of ten foals, having worked hard most of her life raising her precious babies. Now she’s with me and I ensure that she only has the most comfortable tack. My mother introduced me to horseback riding at the age of 8. It’s now over 40 years later and horse riding is still in my blood. My daughter rides occasionally too.
Best memory I have with my mom is when she set me up with my husband. She knew he was the perfect guy for me. She has always known what is the best for me. Thank you mom for all you do for me!!
My Mother passed away before I had a chance to meet her however she like me had a love for horses deep in our hearts. I'm grateful everyday for the passion for horses that we shared in our lives. I believe she left me with that gift.
My mom, despite not being a horsewoman, has been my constant support system in every way. She taught me to never give up on my dreams, so we keep Pursuing the upper levels of dressage. I love the pink on this girth, it would go great on my grey mare!
Absolutely love these girths! My mom was not in my life. So the biggest lesson I learned is how I wanted to be present in my boys’ life. I’ll be there no matter what, because I know what it’s like to have no one there. I do not miss any of their things. Even if I’m sick, I’m there.
Such a great idea! Growing up, my mom wasn't around very much. She was a young mom, so I don't blame her for wanting to live her life. Later in life, she really worked to be part of my life more. We Talk almost daily now and I harbor no ill thoughts on her not being there when I was young. I learned to stand on my own because of her and from the bad, I learned the need to be there for my two kids.
Ooh I love the pink accents! I can’t pick: favourite memory of my mom would be riding together with her and her best mare, me on our rescued mare through a late summer field, thousands of small rusty coloured butterflies taking to the air as we walked along. Favourite thing she taught me was humming or singing to my fussy baby to calm him. It was a lifesaver.
Many years ago I had a moody WB who was girthy and at times 'sticky' under saddle. Had was receiving body work and checked for ulcers. Nothing was found. My mum told me to listen to my horse instead of pushing through. I had the saddle fitter out to check the saddle which had not long arrived from the UK. It was all ok. He said however the girth was hitting and pinching his elbows especially in the trot. At the time, girth selection was limited in Australia but I discovered your product online. I bought the OG shoulder relief girth, and the sheepskin cover (the one with the velcro tabs) in around 2014 and had it shipped to Aus. It was a game changer. I still have and use that girth on him all these years later, and mum's advice to listen to my horse, even when nothing seems wrong in our eyes, rings truer than ever.
I lost my mom 4 yrs ago, she was only 67. She was not a horse person but supported my every whim as a horse crazy kid to be around horses and ride, taking me to regular riding lessons and horse camp and encouraging me to follow equine studies in college. She helped me purchase my first horse as a kid, even though she didn't know anything more about a horse than it had 4 legs, a tail and a mane, lol. She thought all stallions were black because of "The Black Stallion" movie. I love that she did all she did for me to make my dreams come true, and am sad that she is not here to have met some of my new equine additions to the family, that I know she would love and love that I am living my dreams because of her support. I use Total Saddle Fit girths on my horses (Friesian and a PRE) with big shoulder movement and they are very free and comfortable in them. Having this gorgeous mothers day pink one would just remind me of my mom and all the love and support she gave me, and my love of horses :) And the pink color would look fabulous on my new perlino horse who already has a "pink" hue to him!!
My mom was amazing smart talented and brave. We bonded riding bareback in the winter. I remember so many chilly nights hacking through farms near our home. Now I am trying to do the same with my teen. We spend so many hours together mucking, riding and just being together. Horses are juch a great way to connect with kids. Just listen. BTW thank you for all your wonderful products! I didn't know you had these videos. Amazing!
My mom didn’t really understand the ‘horse thing’ but she was interested and encouraging. I learned that you don’t have to understand why people love what they love to be supportive.
We always had horses. We didn’t have much money growing up but we took other horses in to offset the costs of ours. My mom taught us the animals we shared our lives with came before our we did. ❤
It's gorgeous! I'm not a mother (except to my fur animals) but just wanted to say my mother taught me so many life lessons but the best one was responsibility. She made me earn anything I wanted and that has truly set me up for a successful life.
Love the pink and as a mom of 4 my tack purchases have been all for them and not myself that last few years with them showing. My mom taught me to ride and I will never forget all the moments we had together with the horses and I’m happy I can now have that with my children.
Love this girth. My mom and I share the same passion for horses that my siblings do not. That was the greatest thing that passion that has kept me loving horses and riding since I was a little girl to now with grown children of my own.
My mom was is always beside me encouraging me in all I do. I stopped riding for years due to mental health and have recently started again. Now my mom and my own daughter both encourage me to ride.
This girth is absolutely beautiful, it is so fun to watch these videos and see the creativity that goes into making all of your items! The best thing my own mother ever did for me was to allow me to be with horses from a very early age of 5. We had a riding stable and I remember just being with all of the horses as they were lined up waiting for riders. I was allowed to ride many of them around the farm and I have passed that love onto my own grown children as well. My daughter did some jumping and there were times it was scary but I knew it was important to let her take (reasonable!) risks to do what she loved as my own mom did for me.
My mom taught me to be honest and hard working. My animals are my only children and I am blessed to ride the most beautiful mare, she would look stunning in this and pink is her signature color!!
I love this girth so much! My mom died of breast cancer when I was a teenager, and I wear pink a lot to support breast cancer research. My mom taught me to garden, preserve food, and sew as a child. I didn't realize until I was an adult how important these skills are. I wish I could show her more that I'm no longer a terrible teenager, and I'm following in her footsteps. I would really love to win or to be able to purchase some of these new items you guys are sharing!
Oh that girth is simply stunning and wold look amazing on my much loved bay mare. I have so many precious memories and lessons learned but one that till this day serves me well is: "There is no point stressing about things that are out of your control"
Beautiful girth, as always. My horses love the shoulder relief, and of course you should offer color, so pretty! My mom passed her love of horses, her entrepreneur and independent spirit, and her generosity on to me. It's always a challenge to live up to a wonder woman. I am proud to be her daughter.
So cute! My mom used to pick us up from school with the horse van so we could go straight to lessons! She took care of our ponies all by herself, and everyone thought it was so cool that the ponies came to pick us up from school!
My favourite memory with mum Mum has to be mucking out stables in the morning singing are heads off to what ever was playing on the radio 😁 I really miss those days as we live on opposite ends of the workd now 😪
Wow that’s an amazing girth!!! Your girths are the best all I’m using now. My favourite memory with mum would have to be the day I finally got her on my large pony at pony club she hadn’t ridden for years, that smile will stick with me forever!! Best lesson she’s taught me is to always use my manners and to always give up my chair to anyone elderly or in need. I hope I can be half the mother to my two young girls that my mum was to my sister and me!
So many memories with my mum, but mostly the hours spent in the saddle togther & her support she gives me out at horse comps..My mum age 71 still rides her Gypsy x mare with me a few times a week & i'd love to gift her with this georgous girth! 😍
Wow, my mom wasn't around when I had my own horse but we did get to learn to ride as children as she knew how much my sisters and I loved horses. My new boy would rock this girth!
Love it! You should definitely put it into production. And I love your videos. My brother was a boot maker and I spent many hours in his shop watching him make all kinds of cool shoes for Broadway shows. Your videos bring back those memories! He had leather in every possible color and I LOVE that pink leather on the girth. I am a mom of two, and my daughter shares my love of horses. My mom has passed away, but my best memory of her and horses was that she was terrified of them and terrified of me riding, and yet she encouraged me. She made be brave by being brave when she watched my lessons. One time, I came off a horse that balked at a jump. I somehow did a front flip and landed on my feet still holding the reins. I have no idea how I did it. Of course, that had to be a lesson my mom saw! She was white as a sheet, but she said she was proud of me. That's what mom's do. They set aside their fears to make their children braver.
I am a 23 year breast cancer survivor and at the age of 72 I am learning Dressage. I also love this girth because it fits my horse well and it is pink, my favorite color!
My mom taught me, through example, that motherhood has no limits. She has always been there for me when I needed her most and always supported my equestrian goals even though she is not “horsey” herself. In 2022 I became a mom and she drove with me and my 9 month old baby to Virginia (10+ hrs) so I could continue to breastfeed as well as compete in my first 3* at the Virginia Horse Centre.
My Mum taught me to sew! I resented it as a horrible teenager and now I think its such a valuable skill. I can sew all sorts of things including horse costumes for dressage!! Watching the clip of you sewing the pink girth was very cool:)
My mum would love this girth 😍 Growing up my parents weren’t horsey but my mum would spend her weekends taking me to lessons. She even learnt to tow a trailer which she absolutely hated!
Pancakes!! My mom made them every Sunday and it’s a tradition that I continued with my own children. It’s not unique or world changing but in this fast pace electronic world it give us an opportunity to relax and simply enjoy some time together and delicious pancakes. My mom is gone & my children are not little so it means even more now.
My mom taught me to love art. She started taking myself and my siblings to art museums while we were very young. My favorite memory is her taking us to the National Gallery of Art. And I got to pass that along to my own kids. It was a huge bucket list thing for me to take my kids there and I was so happy when we were finally able to make it happen!
My Mum taught me the importance of punctuality! Which is so important for shows and life in general 😊 I love pink and the girth would be well loved 💕 I have an Arabian mare this would suit!
My mother taught me that you should always be learning. As a full time school teacher, she went to night classes, to get her B-Ed. She started teaching at the age of 18, after receiving a 2 year teaching certificate, in a one room school house. She retired after 37 years of teaching.
My mom taught me so many life lessons and has always been my number one cheerleader...I am so lucky to be able to pass on my lessons to my son and be his number one cheerleader when he shows horses.
My mom taught me to be self-reliant. And at 83 she still is a shining example of this! She’s always supported me in my horsey dreams, even if horses kind of scare her. As an aside, my horse is called Ballerina so I think this girth would be perfect for her! Love your products!
I would absolutely love to win this girth. I think the best lesson my Mum and Dad gave me was a horse for sure, as my horse has been the one who has taught me the best lessons in my life.
The most memorable lesson my mom taught me is something I've shared with my own daughter. I was jealous of my sister and how well she could ride. My mom told me that we can't live our lives comparing ourselves to others because life is all about the unique gifts we each have. Stop comparing, be there to support one another and just enjoy the journey! ❤
Pink is my favorite color. Lessons learned from mom, you can make anything work if you put your mind to it. She made most of my competition clothes growing up or repurposed used clothes for competiton.
I lost my mom 21 years ago to cancer. She was a beautiful soul, so elegant, a ballet dancer. She helped me buy my first horse and was so proud to be a horse owner. This girth is as pretty and elegant as she was and it would be an honor to ride with it.
Mom taught me life skills like laundry, cooking, being self sufficient etc. And while those skills seem old fashioned or trivial these days...they are truly important.

My best memory of my Mom is she gave the best heartfelt hugs!! And since I just lost her 2 months ago, I miss her and her healing hugs more than words can express!❤😢❤
Still making memories with my mom who just turned 90. Growing up there are times when you feel vunerable, alone, and so unsure of yourself. A cherished memory with my Mom was a time when she saw my fragile state as a young teen and acted on it. She took extra time just being with me, showing how I can be strong but also saying it is ok to need each other. The feeling of love and security I felt then has stuck with me and I did the same for my daughter
Life lessons learned from mom: Give the best and biggest portion of your meal to a friend, sit up straight, lie not, love hard, show kindness to all, save abandoned animals and pets, remember you are a small human that can have a big impact on others. Above all, forgive yourself, forgive others, and don't go to bed angry. Miss you, mom, and all those who have fought cancer.
Love the pink! My mom taught me that you can have strength and quiet grace together. She is such a refined, reserved woman who exemplifies grace even in stressful situations. Her resilience in the face of two bouts of breast cancer, my father's heart attack, and later death from Covid has truly shown that sometimes the strongest people you know are the ones with steel under their quiet exterior.
I LOVE this girth! My Mom would drive me to the farm where I boarded my horse in Chester Springs, PA every day. The drive was long and she would sit in her car reading her book while I groomed, rode, and spent time with my horse. At the time I never thought about it but looking back I realized how much she sacrificed so I could do this. My daughter is 26 years old and I have passed this love for horses to her. I can’t imagine my life without my Mom, my daughter, or my horse! 💕
Being a mother of adult aged children I realize the importance of instilling core values at a young age, love, acceptance, honesty and faith. Some of these I got from my mother and those memories have stayed with me, some it took me years to realize. As mothers we do the best we can with what we know. Bless all you mothers
So many wonderful memories with my mom, it's hard to choose one! One time we were in Oregon visiting, we were at a beach one day. I was chasing the waves as they were going out. My mom warned me not to do this, I was 10yrs old and didn't listen to her. One of the waves caught me and pulled me under. I was trying to claw at the sand to pull myself up, next thing I remember getting pulled up and out of the water. My mom carried me out of the water, she was my hero! I remember looking up at her saying that the Pacific Ocean didn't taste good! We both laughed at that, that day and still laugh about it today!
My mom taught me resilience. She endured and survived stage IV breast cancer, a miracle itself. Lived another 25 years and survived a malignant melanoma.
I think of her grit and resilience often as she passed away 5 years ago from CKD, likely from all the treatments she endured over the years.
She was an amazing and strong woman and I am forever grateful for her influence.
The best lesson my mom has taught me is to not let anyone treat me less than I’m worth. As for memory it’s hard to choose one. Right now I’m enjoying every day I get to spend watching my mom enjoy time with my son (her grandson) sharing moments with the two of them together really reminds me how blessed I am.
When I was 11 years old my dad got me a pony! I was so happy, a dream come true! My mom was the driving force behind my dad finally buying me a pony! She knew how much I wanted a pony and that I had been a horse lover from the time I could walk and talk. My pony Jake was my best friend, and I rode him everywhere! I had a wonderful loving mother that was behind the scenes in making my dream of having a pony come true!
I started showing small local open shows. I always remember my mom would cook chicken to bring and anything else she could think of to support me and my sister at the horse show. Looking back, I regret that I didn't appreciate her more at the time, I was a teenager and I was selfish. My mom has been gone now for 7 years and I miss her every day, but I know she is proud of me and her granddaughters who continue to show as I did. I appreciated her more when I became a mother myself and I'm glad that I was so close to her in her later years. I just wish I had gotten smart sooner and hadn't wasted years before we became close again.
My favorite memory with my mother was when she brought me to my first riding lesson, she rode as a kid when she was around my age but sadly had to stop when she moved. Her support through my riding has been amazing and I’m so happy that she wants me to continue riding even though she can’t.
Yes, I need this as a single mother of three and now a single grandparent of three, helping raise one... My horse keeps me sane and we really need your new beautiful girth 🎉❤🤠
For the best barn Mom and breast cancer survivor…this girth is as beautiful as she is and will match all her pink outfits!! Go Team Pink!
I am the most blessed mother daughter and granddaughter there could be. The gift I have received is today. I get to live with my 99 year old grams who continues to teach me daily about life, my mother is 75 and live here as well. Not a day goes by I don’t feel loved and special because of these two women. If my daughter who is 28 gains half of what I get from them the world will be a better place. Family is everything. Don’t take a Mom for granted.
Favorite memory of my mom: Horseback riding as a family for hours, in all kind of weather in the Pennsylvania State Game Lands on Sunday afternoons
Love Total Saddlery products by the way. The quality craftsmanship and leather is unsurpassed ! Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers !
My mom is amazing and has always been, so it’s hard to pick a “favorite memory” but the day she took me to get my very first horse, was pretty amazing!! Now 35 years later, I’m loving doing the horse life with my kiddos!
I love this girth! My mother taught me to be a warrior. She passed away from cancer but, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer I knew she was there helping me to fight and become a survivor! I feel like this beautiful pink girth could be in honor of breast cancer as well as Mother’s Day. 💕
My mum taught me to ride at a very young age what better lesson and gift is that 🥰. My greatest memory is her and I riding together on the side of a dirt rode with my sister on her little push bike. She is now turning 72 and the 3 of us still ride together to this day.
My mum is the most beautiful, amazing woman on the planet .. kind, sweet and thoughtful but do not mess with her she will mess you up 🤣! She has cared for me and my 3 siblings and my dad giving the best advice and endless love . She is now 77 and suffering from dementia so now we all take care of her. She is a warrior and on her good days we laugh so hard we nearly roll around on the floor .. what a women ! My wish is to be a amazing woman like her for my boys
My mom took me to riding lessons starting at the age of 8yrs old..she took me to the barn everyday, and would get up super early and spend all day with me at horse shows for many many years!..that was so very special to me …I am now 44 ..a mom of 2 girls and I now spend most of my days taking them to and from their sports , games etc and I love every minute of it…I attribute that love and devotion that I give to my girls from my mom giving that to me when I was a child. This stretchtec dressage girth with pink would look stunning on my Friesian …pink is also my favorite color.
My favourite memory about my mum is that she was always there for me, no matter what. She was my rock. And now she is my shining star 🌟
So glad I found Total Saddle Fit, the girth journey has been a long one. I have the best mom, and one of my fondest memories was coming home from school and calling out her name as I ran in the door. She was always there for us.
I absolutely love this clever design and would totally like to try it on my 16 year old thoroughbred!
I am a mom of two amazing kids, and one thing my mom told me when I had my first child was that if my kids ever did something wrong or bad, to take any object or activity they liked away, to correct them, but to never ever take away my love for them, something Im proud to say I have strictly followed in my 18 years as a mom of 2 humans, 2 dogs and a horse… thank you to all the moms that love unconditionally, as that will be passed on to the ultimate benefit of humanity 💜🐎🥂
Such a beautiful girth, just enough, pop of color to stand out! My mom and I started riding together almost 2 years ago now. I’ve had the privilege of being able to ride with my mom almost everyday, and have her support while trying to learn to ride as a young adult. My mother the most selfless, giving, an amazing person I have ever met. Before we started riding, she would never take any time to herself, worked her self practically to death, and would never do anything for herself. When she started riding and fell in love with our mare, she finally started to find herself and do something that makes her happy. She is a fantastic rider, and I am so beyond grateful that our beautiful mare helped my mother find something for herself, and my mom found a mare who would give every ounce of herself to her person ❤
What a gorgeous girth! 😍
My favourite memory with my grandma, who was the only positive mother figure I had, is being in the kitchen together, cooking and baking. She was the most patient person on this planet and I wish she could have been here to meet my children.
Pink-obsessed mom of a 6 and 4 year old 🦄
My mom has been the most important person in my life since my dad died of cancer. She is such a strong amazing woman and I hope my daughters and I take after her. I would always remember their strength when looking at this wonderful cinch
My Mom...no matter her own health problems... Always loved, encouraged us and cheered us on! Always encouraging even when life was tough!
My mom taught me the importance of a good work ethic. She taught me by example, to work hard, give your job your all and to give your best effort always. She bought me my first horse when I was 12 and was a cheerleader for me then and for my 4 daughters now ❤
My mom was deathly afraid of horses because of a trauma in her childhood, but she always supported my passion to ride. I can still remember hearing her gasps from across the arena when I'd fall and she was certain I was going to die or be seriously maimed for life.😊
I Love the pink metallic accents on the girth!! It would match my fuschia & chrome chaps!
My mom taught me to be well-rounded: she worked really hard as a teacher, but also played tennis & then golf. She was also very competitive at her sports & stuck with them, trained hard. She is my inspiration to ride, continue with lessons and show.
My mom was amazing she passed away 9years ago, she always encouraged myself and my son that we can do anything. She was my biggest fan, I miss her everyday. She bought me my first pony ❤ the biggest lesson she taught me was to be a great mom and grandma.
My mon has supported me my whole life. Going out of her way to provide for my horse habit even when we had no money! For 50 YEARS! My mom is still supporting me everyday. Would love to ride with this girth to remember my mom’s support someday when she is gone. ❤️
My mom has taught me that nice wins! She is the nicest person I know and will help anyone in anyway she can. When she was diagnosed with breast cancer last year I was so scared. She is in remission now and this girth would be so cool to have to remember she won that battle. All while still being the kindest person and helping others, while she was the one that needed help!
My mom gave me the love of horses and always supported me in my passion for horses. She loved horses, and people and taught me to always look for the good in everyone. I miss her love of life and her laugh, she's been in heaven for a few years. (I love my current total saddle fit girth and this one would amazing on my mare).
Love it! I am a mom of 2. My husband and i own and operate our own business and i have a tack shop on the side. My momma taught me so much! She taught me to love Jesus, work hard, have fun, and how to cook!
My mother taught me that you sometimes you have to make tough decisions that are hard at the time but pay off later. It is not always easy making hard choices that challenge your boundaries or abilities but keeping the end game in mind is important and I am grateful for that because I have had to stretch myself many times in challenging circumstances but it has paid off. Justin your craftmanship is beautiful, you are gifted and talented and it is lovely to see someone doing something they are so good at and making a living from it. I have your TSF shoulder relief girths and love them. Pink is my favourite colour and I am a very proud mother of 5 wonderful children, the last one being born when I was 46 which has really been interesting being an old mum.
Love this girth!!!
Some of my favorite memories with my Mom are all the riding lessons and horse shows she brought me to when I was young! She never missed a single one! She also taught me to enjoy every minute with my own son.
No matter how old I get my mom is always there with words of wisdom. Somehow she knows when to be harsh and when I need a word of encouragement. My favorite memories are times we would share with my first horse I bought.
This girth is amazing! My favorite memories with my mom are not the big things, but the little ones. When we have lunch together or talk on the phone every day, it makes me smile to know we're friends even more than mother/daughter.
Impossible to share one favorite memory or lesson from my mom, but she was always unconditionally loving and supportive, and I still feel her support even after her unexpected death four years ago. She and my grandmother were the reason I was able to start riding horses at age 7 and it was my mom who drove me to all of my competitions and Pony Club events throughout my childhood/teenage years. I only hope that I can be as supportive of a mom to my 6 year old son!!
I think the strongest lesson I learned from my mom was to persevere. She faced some very challenging health issues in her later years, debilitating issues, and yet she never stopped living, getting up, getting dressed, going out, entertaining, welcoming me and my family into her home; she was stronger than I realized. I hope I have shown my kids that same perseverence. By the way .... that girth would look very handsome on my friesian gelding.... and my Custom Saddle fitter just recommended one of your girths to improve his saddle fit. :)
My mom taught me to put other people first and that we are blessed to be a blessing...this helps us to be mindful that there are sooo many people that are in need and need our help,
10:11 am central time
My Mom has taught me never to give up , be strong and keep moving forward! She is awesome at 92!
My mom was the kindest most selfless person I have ever known. Her children, all 6 of us, were her top priority. She thought about us more than she thought about herself. Unfortunately she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2011 and it resurfaced a few years ago. It metastasized aggressively right around Christmas of 2021. I feared it would be our last Christmas, her and my birthday, and last year her last Mother's Day. She passed away October 2022. My fondest memory during that time was the Friday before she passed. We had a heartfelt conversation and we held hands and prayed together. We prayed for a miracle. That was the last coherent conversation I had with her. When I saw the pink on the girth, the exact one I am about to buy as my horse now needs a 22, it reminded me of my mom and her 1 year battle with breast cancer. I'd love to represent my mom as I ride in upcoming dressage shows with my heart horse.
I absolutely love my ex-broodmares Shoulder Relief Girth. She loves it too. She is a mother of ten foals, having worked hard most of her life raising her precious babies. Now she’s with me and I ensure that she only has the most comfortable tack. My mother introduced me to horseback riding at the age of 8. It’s now over 40 years later and horse riding is still in my blood. My daughter rides occasionally too.
Best memory I have with my mom is when she set me up with my husband. She knew he was the perfect guy for me. She has always known what is the best for me. Thank you mom for all you do for me!!
My Mother passed away before I had a chance to meet her however she like me had a love for horses deep in our hearts. I'm grateful everyday for the passion for horses that we shared in our lives. I believe she left me with that gift.
My mom, despite not being a horsewoman, has been my constant support system in every way. She taught me to never give up on my dreams, so we keep
Pursuing the upper levels of dressage. I love the pink on this girth, it would go great on my grey mare!
Absolutely love these girths! My mom was not in my life. So the biggest lesson I learned is how I wanted to be present in my boys’ life. I’ll be there no matter what, because I know what it’s like to have no one there. I do not miss any of their things. Even if I’m sick, I’m there.
Such a great idea! Growing up, my mom wasn't around very much. She was a young mom, so I don't blame her for wanting to live her life. Later in life, she really worked to be part of my life more. We Talk almost daily now and I harbor no ill thoughts on her not being there when I was young. I learned to stand on my own because of her and from the bad, I learned the need to be there for my two kids.
Ooh I love the pink accents!
I can’t pick: favourite memory of my mom would be riding together with her and her best mare, me on our rescued mare through a late summer field, thousands of small rusty coloured butterflies taking to the air as we walked along. Favourite thing she taught me was humming or singing to my fussy baby to calm him. It was a lifesaver.
Many years ago I had a moody WB who was girthy and at times 'sticky' under saddle. Had was receiving body work and checked for ulcers. Nothing was found. My mum told me to listen to my horse instead of pushing through. I had the saddle fitter out to check the saddle which had not long arrived from the UK. It was all ok. He said however the girth was hitting and pinching his elbows especially in the trot. At the time, girth selection was limited in Australia but I discovered your product online. I bought the OG shoulder relief girth, and the sheepskin cover (the one with the velcro tabs) in around 2014 and had it shipped to Aus. It was a game changer. I still have and use that girth on him all these years later, and mum's advice to listen to my horse, even when nothing seems wrong in our eyes, rings truer than ever.
I lost my mom 4 yrs ago, she was only 67. She was not a horse person but supported my every whim as a horse crazy kid to be around horses and ride, taking me to regular riding lessons and horse camp and encouraging me to follow equine studies in college. She helped me purchase my first horse as a kid, even though she didn't know anything more about a horse than it had 4 legs, a tail and a mane, lol. She thought all stallions were black because of "The Black Stallion" movie. I love that she did all she did for me to make my dreams come true, and am sad that she is not here to have met some of my new equine additions to the family, that I know she would love and love that I am living my dreams because of her support. I use Total Saddle Fit girths on my horses (Friesian and a PRE) with big shoulder movement and they are very free and comfortable in them. Having this gorgeous mothers day pink one would just remind me of my mom and all the love and support she gave me, and my love of horses :) And the pink color would look fabulous on my new perlino horse who already has a "pink" hue to him!!
My mom was amazing smart talented and brave. We bonded riding bareback in the winter. I remember so many chilly nights hacking through farms near our home.
Now I am trying to do the same with my teen. We spend so many hours together mucking, riding and just being together. Horses are juch a great way to connect with kids. Just listen.
BTW thank you for all your wonderful products! I didn't know you had these videos. Amazing!
My mom didn’t really understand the ‘horse thing’ but she was interested and encouraging. I learned that you don’t have to understand why people love what they love to be supportive.
We always had horses. We didn’t have much money growing up but we took other horses in to offset the costs of ours. My mom taught us the animals we shared our lives with came before our we did. ❤
It's gorgeous!
I'm not a mother (except to my fur animals) but just wanted to say my mother taught me so many life lessons but the best one was responsibility. She made me earn anything I wanted and that has truly set me up for a successful life.
Love the pink and as a mom of 4 my tack purchases have been all for them and not myself that last few years with them showing. My mom taught me to ride and I will never forget all the moments we had together with the horses and I’m happy I can now have that with my children.
Love this girth. My mom and I share the same passion for horses that my siblings do not. That was the greatest thing that passion that has kept me loving horses and riding since I was a little girl to now with grown children of my own.
So Pretty! Love the pink! Horses have always been something I've done with my Mom - for more than 40 years!
My mom was is always beside me encouraging me in all I do. I stopped riding for years due to mental health and have recently started again. Now my mom and my own daughter both encourage me to ride.
This girth is absolutely beautiful, it is so fun to watch these videos and see the creativity that goes into making all of your items! The best thing my own mother ever did for me was to allow me to be with horses from a very early age of 5. We had a riding stable and I remember just being with all of the horses as they were lined up waiting for riders. I was allowed to ride many of them around the farm and I have passed that love onto my own grown children as well. My daughter did some jumping and there were times it was scary but I knew it was important to let her take (reasonable!) risks to do what she loved as my own mom did for me.
My mom taught me to be honest and hard working. My animals are my only children and I am blessed to ride the most beautiful mare, she would look stunning in this and pink is her signature color!!
I love this girth so much! My mom died of breast cancer when I was a teenager, and I wear pink a lot to support breast cancer research. My mom taught me to garden, preserve food, and sew as a child. I didn't realize until I was an adult how important these skills are. I wish I could show her more that I'm no longer a terrible teenager, and I'm following in her footsteps. I would really love to win or to be able to purchase some of these new items you guys are sharing!
Oh that girth is simply stunning and wold look amazing on my much loved bay mare. I have so many precious memories and lessons learned but one that till this day serves me well is: "There is no point stressing about things that are out of your control"
Beautiful girth, as always. My horses love the shoulder relief, and of course you should offer color, so pretty!
My mom passed her love of horses, her entrepreneur and independent spirit, and her generosity on to me. It's always a challenge to live up to a wonder woman. I am proud to be her daughter.
So cute! My mom used to pick us up from school with the horse van so we could go straight to lessons! She took care of our ponies all by herself, and everyone thought it was so cool that the ponies came to pick us up from school!
My mom bought me my first horse but she didn’t ride. She just supported me and now she supports my daughter who rides too! Love the girth
My mother taught me to always chase my dreams, always finish what I start, and believe in myself even if no one else does.
My favourite memory with mum Mum has to be mucking out stables in the morning singing are heads off to what ever was playing on the radio 😁
I really miss those days as we live on opposite ends of the workd now 😪
Wow that’s an amazing girth!!! Your girths are the best all I’m using now.
My favourite memory with mum would have to be the day I finally got her on my large pony at pony club she hadn’t ridden for years, that smile will stick with me forever!!
Best lesson she’s taught me is to always use my manners and to always give up my chair to anyone elderly or in need. I hope I can be half the mother to my two young girls that my mum was to my sister and me!
Absolutely perfect!!
So many memories with my mum, but mostly the hours spent in the saddle togther & her support she gives me out at horse comps..My mum age 71 still rides her Gypsy x mare with me a few times a week & i'd love to gift her with this georgous girth! 😍
Wow, my mom wasn't around when I had my own horse but we did get to learn to ride as children as she knew how much my sisters and I loved horses. My new boy would rock this girth!
Love it! You should definitely put it into production. And I love your videos. My brother was a boot maker and I spent many hours in his shop watching him make all kinds of cool shoes for Broadway shows. Your videos bring back those memories! He had leather in every possible color and I LOVE that pink leather on the girth. I am a mom of two, and my daughter shares my love of horses. My mom has passed away, but my best memory of her and horses was that she was terrified of them and terrified of me riding, and yet she encouraged me. She made be brave by being brave when she watched my lessons. One time, I came off a horse that balked at a jump. I somehow did a front flip and landed on my feet still holding the reins. I have no idea how I did it. Of course, that had to be a lesson my mom saw! She was white as a sheet, but she said she was proud of me. That's what mom's do. They set aside their fears to make their children braver.
This girth is incredible! My mom shared her love of horses with me and set me on the path to become a lifelong horse woman.
So pretty! My mom went through breast cancer and taught me the power of positivity and resilience.
I am a 23 year breast cancer survivor and at the age of 72 I am learning Dressage. I also love this girth because it fits my horse well and it is pink, my favorite color!
My mom taught me, through example, that motherhood has no limits. She has always been there for me when I needed her most and always supported my equestrian goals even though she is not “horsey” herself. In 2022 I became a mom and she drove with me and my 9 month old baby to Virginia (10+ hrs) so I could continue to breastfeed as well as compete in my first 3* at the Virginia Horse Centre.
My Mum taught me to sew! I resented it as a horrible teenager and now I think its such a valuable skill. I can sew all sorts of things including horse costumes for dressage!! Watching the clip of you sewing the pink girth was very cool:)
My mum would love this girth 😍 Growing up my parents weren’t horsey but my mum would spend her weekends taking me to lessons. She even learnt to tow a trailer which she absolutely hated!
Pancakes!! My mom made them every Sunday and it’s a tradition that I continued with my own children. It’s not unique or world changing but in this fast pace electronic world it give us an opportunity to relax and simply enjoy some time together and delicious pancakes. My mom is gone & my children are not little so it means even more now.
My mom taught me to love art. She started taking myself and my siblings to art museums while we were very young. My favorite memory is her taking us to the National Gallery of Art. And I got to pass that along to my own kids. It was a huge bucket list thing for me to take my kids there and I was so happy when we were finally able to make it happen!
My Mum taught me the importance of punctuality!
Which is so important for shows and life in general 😊
I love pink and the girth would be well loved 💕 I have an Arabian mare this would suit!
My mother taught me that you should always be learning. As a full time school teacher, she went to night classes, to get her B-Ed. She started teaching at the age of 18, after receiving a 2 year teaching certificate, in a one room school house. She retired after 37 years of teaching.
My mom taught me so many life lessons and has always been my number one cheerleader...I am so lucky to be able to pass on my lessons to my son and be his number one cheerleader when he shows horses.
My mom has been my biggest supporter. She was there for me when my kids were born and when I got divorced.
Would LOVE this girth. I desperately need a new dressage girth. I’m a mom whos into eventing
My mom taught me to be self-reliant. And at 83 she still is a shining example of this! She’s always supported me in my horsey dreams, even if horses kind of scare her. As an aside, my horse is called Ballerina so I think this girth would be perfect for her! Love your products!
I would absolutely love to win this girth. I think the best lesson my Mum and Dad gave me was a horse for sure, as my horse has been the one who has taught me the best lessons in my life.
We have two TSF girths now! Love them! My mother taught me my love and respect for horses ❤
The most memorable lesson my mom taught me is something I've shared with my own daughter. I was jealous of my sister and how well she could ride. My mom told me that we can't live our lives comparing ourselves to others because life is all about the unique gifts we each have. Stop comparing, be there to support one another and just enjoy the journey! ❤
Pink is my favorite color. Lessons learned from mom, you can make anything work if you put your mind to it. She made most of my competition clothes growing up or repurposed used clothes for competiton.
I lost my mom 21 years ago to cancer. She was a beautiful soul, so elegant, a ballet dancer. She helped me buy my first horse and was so proud to be a horse owner. This girth is as pretty and elegant as she was and it would be an honor to ride with it.
Gillian, You're the girth winner! Will you please reach out via a social media DM or through our website contact form to confirm all the details?
@@TotalSaddleFit really? So many amazing stories! I sent a message on Facebook.
Beautiful girth!! My mom taught me to be good to others and to love animals. I have taught the same to my 3 kids. Happy Mother’s Day!!! ❤
This girth looks like a really smart design; definitely with the horse's comfort in mind, and great to look at, nice job!!
My mom taught me to be respectful of others and to be courteous.
Mom taught me life skills like laundry, cooking, being self sufficient etc. And while those skills seem old fashioned or trivial these days...they are truly important.
