Worshipful Company of Saddlers

Nowadays the Company retains strong affiliations with the saddlery trade, sponsoring the Society of Master Saddlers and giving prizes for deserving young riders at equestrian events.

Unusually, the Saddlers Company has two mottoes: Hold Fast, Sit Sure and Our Trust Is In God.

The coat of arms seen on the entrance of Saddlers' Hall, showcasing a parlfrey, two horses, a bascinet and the moto, is continued to be used in the Company's communications.

[1] In addition to admitting members as Freeman and Liveryman, the Saddlers' Company has the unique privilege of granting Yeoman status.

Its notable Yeomen include the Princess Royal,[2] Peter Walwyn (Chairman of the Lambourn Trainers Association),[3] and Richard Meade.
