THE VH SADDLERY DIFFERENCE
VH Saddlery is run by Dr Victoria Hamilton whose passion for saddlery was ignited by her drive to find a better solution for her own performance horses. A veterinarian, international competitor and dressage coach, Victoria has worked in the equestrian industry for over 30 years. As a petite rider on large and big moving horses, she struggled to find saddles to suit both her and her horses.
Through extensive research and her vast knowledge of equine anatomy and rider biomechanics, Victoria has developed top-end custom saddles through the VH Signature Collection and carefully selected a range of individualised and off-the-shelf models crafted by British master saddlers, to deliver the very best in saddlery to Australian horse riders.
Horses are Victoria’s life-long passion. She is dedicated to finding the perfect saddle for every Australian rider without comprising the comfort, freedom of movement or overall well-being of their horse.

About Victoria
Victoria Hamilton BSc, BVMS (hons)
Dr Victoria Hamilton is an icon in the Australian Equestrian Community, with a wealth of experience as a veterinarian, coach, breeder and international dressage competitor. As one of Australia’s top dressage riders, her love of horses is contagious and apparent in absolutely everything she does.
Victoria has trained and competed throughout Australia and overseas, winning numerous State and National Championships. She won two Australian World Challenge Finals (with Ardito in 1998 and Asaachen in 2000), two Australian Dressage Leaderboard Titles (with Asaachen in 1998 and Kaduso in 2002) and was the runner-up in the World Final of the PSI/FEI World Dressage Challenge in Germany in 2001, which she says is the highlight of her competition career so far. She continues to breed, train and compete top-level dressage horses, with a team of young horses currently coming into the competition arena showing unlimited potential.
Victoria toured Australia for many years conducting clinics and coaching riders of all ages, abilities and ambitions. She was the WA State Young Rider Dressage Coach in 1998-1999 and 2004-2005, founding the WA Dressage Young Rider Association (WADYRA) in 2006, where she coached until resigning in 2017 to focus on competing.

She has a unique and extensive knowledge of equine anatomy and rider biomechanics, which she uses to maximise horses and rider comfort, feel, effectiveness of aids and overall performance of both rider and horse performance. She believes it is the duty of the rider to ensure maximum comfort for their horse and retain the beauty of its natural movement under saddle. This belief drove her to developing her own line of saddles, and VH Saddlery was born.
