Weatherbeeta USA has recalled about 2,300 Collegiate brand English horse-riding saddles because a rivet or stirrup bar on the saddle can break. This defect can cause the rider to lose balance and fall from the horse. The firm has received 12 reports of the parts breaking, including one report of a fall injury. The saddles were sold at Dover Saddlery and other tack shops nationwide between May 2019 and October 2023.
The stirrup bar or rivet on the saddle is prone to breaking during use, which can cause the stirrup to detach or the rider to lose stability. This poses a significant fall hazard, and one injury has already been reported.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled saddles and contact Weatherbeeta for instructions to return the recalled saddle to receive a free replacement saddle, including free shipping, similar to theirs. Weatherbeeta is contacting all known purchasers directly.
