Established in 1974 as B & J Saddlery by Barrie & Lynda Mortlock, our first shop was situated in the centre of Ingatestone village. During this time our trade stand was attending major events throughout the UK.

In 1983 we moved to larger premises and we renamed our business Ingatestone Saddlery Centre. We continued to exhibit at shows until 1998 when we decided to enlarge our shop and concentrate on our core business. Within 2 years we were searching once again for larger premises.

In March 2001 we moved into our present location at Margaretting. We are situated in an enviable position at the junction of the A12/A414 on the B1002 with car parking for in excess of 200 cars and with easy access for horseboxes & trailers.

Two years after our move, an all-weather outdoor ménage was installed to improve the facilities for saddle fitting. Our saddle manager Roger Coates is a Master Saddler and qualified saddle fitter with a wealth of experience in all aspects of saddle manufacture, repair & fitting. We offer fittings at our store or in the comfort of your own surroundings. Click here to find our more about our saddle fitting service.

In 2005 a purpose built feed barn was built and we offer a wide choice of feed at competitive prices. The product range of feed is growing all the time. This cash & carry service is a phenomenal success with our regular customers. For our feed and bedding click and collect service click here.
