ABOUT ADRIENNE HENDRICKS
I grew up with horses riding English in Boise, Idaho. I have experience in Dressage, Combined Training, Hunters, Jumpers and even some Endurance Riding. I am a Graduate H-A (’88) Pony Clubber and currently schooling 4th Level Dressage on Cricket, my Hanoverian/Thoroughbred. I’m also getting to know my new horse, Filomena who is a Friesian. Having owned many diverse horse types has helped me become very familiar with understanding many common saddle fitting issues and providing solutions.
I began working on leather many years ago with my father. He would give me a few pointers as we worked together and soon I began fixing and adjusting my own tack. It then evolved into my being able to handle most tack repairs. I am currently in an apprenticeship with Suzie Fletcher to become a Master Saddler. We have become partners and I am managing her former US repairs for our business as she has returned to England.
I have always had a passion for tack and seem to have more saddles and bridles than horses. I love to educate clients about tack and welcome you to give me a call to discuss the subtle differences between saddle make, manufacture, styles and feel to name a few. I pride myself on providing excellent customer service for both you and your horse.
The rest of the staff…
Lisa Miller, US Logistics and Marketing Director
Lisa and I met when she was working at the school where my boys attend. Lisa was working on a leather project and when she asked friends who might know a bit about leather, “Adrienne” was the only answer. That started our friendship and working together.
Lisa’s been learning a lot about horses and saddles over the past few months. Her previous experience with horses was pretty limited – she had ridden a horse twice! She has been enthusiastically learning about horses and saddles and more importantly, is helping to keep everything organized and on track. She is a genius with organizational greatness, and you may hear from her with a follow up on your repair, details about your saddle demo or your shirt size for some fun swag.
When she is not drinking smoothies with me in the shop or helping me proofread a saddle fit article, she loves to travel (Prague being her favorite destination) and hang out with her husband and two grown sons (when they are in town).
Wendy Westbrook, Technical and Graphic Genius
Wendy and Adrienne met through a saddlery friend in Illinois. Adrienne needed help with her website and Wendy came to the rescue! Wendy is also the genius behind the website design and the new swag you are seeing (horse tails!). She has a background in corporate marketing but left all of that behind to have the freedom to be more creative and really spend quality time with her clients to understand their business needs. She grew up riding …..
Wendy can design a website or any fun merchandise for you. She is not just limited to horses. Reach out to her and she can help you create some meaningful fun artwork to share you passion with your clients like she has with Adrienne. And she can do individual work if you want a personalized something just for you or your barn.
