If you're looking for someone to do the job, do the job well, it's Kelly. She is a great educator if you're like me and want to know what to avoid/look for/purchase, but will not steer you in the wrong direction with needing to be hypersensitive. Kelly helped me purchase and fit 2 saddles, a dressage and western for my husband on our horse and I couldn't have been more confident with her services and pricing.

Saddles were still there, conversations with staff gave us no insight that anything was wrong, like our contract having ended and needing renewal or the saddles would be considered abandoned. Fast forward to today (May 20 2026), we went to the feedstore and noticed the Tack Shack was gone. It's now a real estate office. They've been in the space about two months. So, I did a little digging online to find the new location for our saddles to ask WTH and found a FB Marketplace post which led me to this profile, https://www.facebook.com/shannon.marie.190117?mibextid=ZbWKwL

I breathed a sigh of relief because I had bought her gifts already but knew this was the last one. I ask her what she would like to buy Mommy at the saddle shop? Her eyes gleamed and she had a list. We get there and I believe it is Nicole who greeted us. There is a surprising amount of inventory throughout a well-organized and clean market. I personally know very little about what is needed for horse care, but my 11 year old is practically a ranch hand now, and it was a pleasure to watch Nicole and her talk horses and needed equipment for about 15 minutes. She treated her as an adult and gave objective feedback about each item and let her identify and choose the equipment. While picking out a durable item, I could tell it was quality and I was a little hesitant because I've seen the markup on things like these. I flipped the tag and price was very reasonable, probably comparable to online or even less. So we have high quality inventory, knowledgeable and objective support, a person who works well with younger patrons, and very reasonable prices (not to mention an absolutely beautiful location in Portola Valley). Yeah, easy five stars.
