Meet our ambassadors

At Empire Saddles, we are here for all riders, regardless of level or discipline. We are immensely proud that more and more talented dressage riders are choosing our saddles. Every day, our ambassadors demonstrate what is possible with the right support and passion for the sport.

Meet the riders who ride Empire Saddles with pride and dedication.

Kim Noordijk

Many years ago, I was looking for something I couldn’t find until then – that extra bit of sophistication in fitting. I finally found it in Empire. Empire is unique in its ability to connect horse and rider, allowing the horse to develop more quickly and comfortably thanks to its great adaptability. The attention to detail in Empire is exceptional. The horse has all the space to move freely, while we as riders can sit comfortably and relax and feel every movement beneath us. This has taken me and my horse to the next level in our training.
