About Reitsport Equi-Thek

According to its own website, Reitsport Equi-Thek at Haidhofstraße 38 in Baden has specialised in saddles for over 30 years, from sales with measurement of the horse to a mobile saddle service and its own saddlery workshop. There is also a washing service for horse rugs, an embroidery service and horse feed from Havens.

Buying a saddle and the Sattelmobil

During the saddle consultation the horse is measured so that the saddle fits. Advice is given by Rainer Thek, who according to the website is FN-certified, sits on the FN equipment working group and rides dressage, show jumping and eventing himself. Trainers, vets or therapists can join in if you wish.

If you prefer to try saddles in your own stable, you can order the Sattelmobil. With it, Equi-Thek comes with a selection of saddles throughout Austria, to Germany and to the other neighbouring countries; made-to-measure saddles are also produced on the basis of the measurement. The hotline for this is 0664 242 68 85.

Saddle brands listed on the website include Prestige, Kentaur, Kieffer, Albion, Acavallo, Passier, Wintec, Eques, Ikonic and Niedersüss.

Accessories, repairs and embroidery

• Saddle accessories: girths made of leather, neoprene or sheepskin, stirrups, stirrup leathers, saddle pads and leather care
• Saddlery: reflocking or new flocking of saddle panels, adjusting the tree width (i.e. the width of the gullet at the withers), replacing billets, sewing work and repairs to bridles and other leather
• Embroidery service: over 200 fonts, threads in all colours, including real gold, copper and silver. Saddle cloths, rugs, jackets and shirts are embroidered, for clubs and companies also from a logo template, and textiles you bring in as well. Eva Grabensteiner is responsible for this.
• Feed: horse feed from the Havens brand

Rug washing service

Horse rugs, saddle cloths and also dog blankets are cleaned in dedicated machines with pH-neutral detergent. You can drop off dirty rugs around the clock at the drop-off point in front of the shop and collect them after a few days. With the washing card you pay 90 euros and get 100 euros of credit. According to Equi-Thek, the result is better if you remove the hair beforehand.

Opening hours

The shop is open Monday 10 to 18 h, Thursday 13 to 18 h, Friday 10 to 18 h and Saturday 9 to 13 h. For a saddle consultation, make an appointment on 02252 81010 or by e-mail to office@equi-thek.at.
