THV

We Listen. We Learn. We Respect.

At THV Saddling we honour horses by giving them a voice in every aspect of their care and interaction with humans – including when it comes to saddling. Rooted in the philosophy of ‚The Horse’s Voice‘ (THV), we are dedicated to listening to what horses communicate and are committed to lifelong learning from these extraordinary beings.

Who we are

Meet Our Founder:
Keren Morris

THV was founded by Keren Morris, author of “The Horse’s Voice – How Kind Can Horsemanship Become?” (available on Amazon). With over 30 years of professional experience in the equestrian industry, Keren is an international coach, mentor, and equine communicator.

Her mission is to help people understand, connect with, and learn from horses in a way that goes far beyond anything most equestrians ever experience.

Our Heritage

Continuing the BALANCE Legacy

Keren’s journey led her to the groundbreaking work of The BALANCE Organisation (www.balanceinternational.com), whose research into horse-centred saddling deeply inspired her. After studying and working closely with BALANCE for over a decade, Keren took up the mantle when BALANCE closed in 2023/24. Through THV Saddling Limited, she ensures the legacy continues — offering horse-friendly saddling and training equipment that prioritise the horse’s comfort, freedom, wellbeing and full self-expression.

Our book

Giving Horses a Voice in Every Interaction

“The Horse’s Voice – How Kind Can Horsemanship Become?” invites readers to transcend their relationships with horses. Author Keren Morris challenges norms evident in the spectrum of equestrianism and offers a way out of the confusion by enabling the horses themselves to lead the way. Through empathy, respect and deep listening, we encounter breathtaking connections with horses and discover that they carry a wisdom within them which far surpasses the human mind.

Drawing on decades of experience and raw, honest, vulnerable communication with horses, Keren offers practical insights and personal stories that inspire a kinder, more conscious approach to horsemanship. This book is both a guide and a call to action—for anyone who wants to build a more compassionate and authentic connection with their horse.

FAQs

Find answers to your questions about our service and products to enhance your horse’s happiness and wellbeing.

Are THV Products the same as BALANCE products were?

Yes, all THV saddles, pads and sundries are made to the exact same design as the BALANCE products with the same names. We do expect the THV range to expand over time and have recently added a foam panel option to the Evolution/Equinox saddles. We hope to bring both the BALANCE Horizon and Western-style models back into production as soon as possible too. Beyond that, we’ll see what the horses ask for, but the original range remains exactly the same as it was under the BALANCE branding.

How can I buy a THV Saddle?

You will need to work with one of our THV registered Consultant-Stockists. We do not sell the saddles online because it’s essential to us that you and your horse have a truly incredible experience with your THV saddle. Our Consultant-Stockists have a wealth of experience and immense passion about helping you to have the ultimate saddling experience with us. They will also be on hand to make sure you are well supported as you get used to using the system.

What if there’s no THV registered Consultant-Stockists in my area?
