When I moved to the Dominican Republic from the US three years ago, I had zero horsey connections. I was lucky to meet Laura early in my journey. From the very first minute Laura was kind, knowledgeable, and generous. She researches her products, always looks to the cutting edge in the industry, and has horse welfare at the top of her list. Her beautiful tack shop (mobile, online, and store front) with gracious staff is a horsey person’s shopping sanctuary. I always try to purchase from her store instead of Amazon etc. Much more fun 🤩. And never disappointing. From glycerin soap to fun socks, quality tack, and rider clothing, to alternative natural supplements, Santo Domingo offers curated, reliable products. Plus, and this feels super important to me, Laura is a professional saddle fitter, the only one on the island! My three years in the Dominican horse world have been tumultuous. Without Laura I would not have found the path to address my horse’s roaring condition surgically. That was incredibly huge! Next stop on our road to happiness is a saddle. Laura has helped me understand the choices, the pros and cons. It’s been almost 20 years since I’ve had to think about saddle fit. I’m all over the place. Laura has been refreshingly patient and supportive while I process. My horse thanks her for that as his 6 yo body continues to morph (withers popped over the last few months). I am excited and confident that we’ll find the best saddle solution for my big beautiful boy. Last but not least, a shout out to MagnaWave. My horse was deeply appreciative, as in “finally the humans are talking about my neck”. I feel that MagnaWave clearly identifies and releases deep tensions that a horse keeps invisible. Do please support your local tack store and a professional who is passionate about helping you and your horse 🤠💚.
I don’t even know where to begin because Laura has been such a blessing to both me and Victorious. When my mare started showing signs of pain from a poorly fitted saddle, I was overwhelmed and unsure of what to do. The moment I reached out to Laura, everything changed. She took the time to listen, understand my concerns, and she patiently guided me toward the best solution not just any saddle, but the right one for Victorious’ comfort and happiness. Laura didn’t rush the process or push me toward a quick fix. Instead, she took the time to carefully assess what would work best for my horse, considering her build, movement, and specific needs. She answered all of my questions, made sure I understood every option, and guided me toward a solution that would truly benefit Victorious in the long run. Thanks to her patience and dedication, my mare is now so much more comfortable, and I can already see a huge difference in how she moves and feels. But what truly sets Laura apart is her heart. She doesn’t just care about making a sale she cares about the horse, the rider, and their journey together. She has quickly become more than just someone I go to for tack advice; she’s become a trusted friend. Whether I have questions about riding, nutrition, or general horse care, she’s always there with thoughtful advice and genuine support. I can’t thank Santo Domingo Saddlery and Laura enough for everything she’s done for us. If you want someone who truly puts the horse first and goes above and beyond, Laura is the person you need. I feel so lucky to have found her! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Ayla and Victorious
Absolutely fantastic equipment for both your horse and for you the rider! They have a terrific selection and the best of everything! Definitely the best place to get a new saddle with custom fitting, a custom embroidered saddle pad, new boots and helmet, and everything else you could ever need or want. And the customer service is great too!
I love the Tucker Tweed purse I have. Top quality leather, and the design is awesome! Laura has everything you need for your horse and you!!
