Hi i hope you can help.
Im looking for someone who is able to manufacture a new product I'm looking to Re-Introduce the basket saddle into the equestrian market.
The product itself is of Victorian design as was traditionally made from wicker, hence my contact with yourselves, and has long since died out, I do however feel there is a large market for this product having come from an equestrian background myself.
Im looking for a reliable and trust worthy manufacturer ideally with traditional roots who will be able to work with me in producing a top quality product within a reasonable budget to maximise profitability.
To start with I would be looking for around 10-20 saddles ( dependant on cost ) but have high hopes and aspirations for this product and as such would expect the volume to substantially increase over the course of the next 2 years, by which time I would expect to be selling over 1000 saddles a year.
Firstly is this a project you feel you would be able to contribute to from a manufacturing point of view.
Secondly, if it is something you could do, what would you estimated cost per unit be based on the below?
The saddle MUST have the following:
Padded base as per the pictures
The facility to attach a harness / seatbelt / safety strap to the saddle itself
The facility to attach / secure / feed through a numner ( strap that attaches the saddle to the horse or pony )
Although not a 'must have' I would ideally like a manufacturer to be able to include some kind of soft seating cover as per the pictures.
Thank you for taking the time to read through this, please feel free to ask any questions you feel relevant.
If this is something you feel that you cannot assist with, do you know of anyone that could?
Kind Regards
Matt Adams
