About Saddle
Three lengths of the same description. Use whichever fits; the copy button puts it on your clipboard.
Saddle is a private app for horse people: tonight's blanket, every ride, your whole barn.
Saddle brings a barn together in one private app. It picks tonight's blanket from the forecast where each horse lives, records rides with no signal and replays them by gait, keeps the barn's calendar, bulletin, photos and paperwork in one place, and lets a rider's own group know when to expect her home. Free on iOS and Android.
Saddle is a private app for horse people, built around the barn rather than a feed. Each barn is its own space, joined by an invite code or a QR pass and let in by the owner, with the weather at the barn, a cork-board bulletin, a photo gallery, a calendar and shared documents. Every horse has a profile and a blanket chart: Saddle reads the forecast where the horse lives, works out how cold it feels to that horse, and names tonight's and tomorrow's blanket, drawn on the horse. Rides record offline, keep the whole track, and replay painted walk, trot and canter; a rider can follow a route she rode before and hear her splits spoken. Ride Safety shares occasional locations with people she chooses and alerts them if she has not checked in. There is no public feed, no followers and no advertising in the app. Saddle is free; a few map and route-editing features are part of Saddle Pro at $2.99 a month.

Marks
The red saddle is the app's mark and icon. The engraved saddle is the seal on a ride record. Each comes at full size on both grounds; use the one that matches your page.
Screenshots
Real screens from the app, captioned as they appear in the stores. The barn, horses and people in them are fictional. Captioned at 1080 × 1920; the uncaptioned screen is beside each.
The drawings
Saddle draws its own horse, barn and weather. These are the app's drawings, exported at any size. The two composed scenes are the ones Saddle uses in its own advertising; the objects are the ones that mark an empty page in the app.
Photographs
From the barn Saddle was built at. Cleared for use alongside a story about Saddle; credit as shown.
Who made it
Saddle is built by one person, at the barn in the photographs above. For a conversation or a longer note, write to the address below.
Using these
- Use the marks as they are: no recolouring, stretching, outlines or cropping. Give them clear space the height of the saddle's seat.
- Screenshots show real screens with fictional names, horses and places. Don't retouch them or present them as someone's actual account.
- Describe the blanket guidance as advice from a forecast, and Ride Safety as sharing with a chosen group. Saddle doesn't promise warmth, rescue or constant tracking, so please don't either.
- Nothing here implies Saddle's endorsement of a product, barn or person. Write "Saddle", capital S.
- Anything else you'd like, ask.
