Apologies to all UptheSaddlers regulars and visitors for the unavailability of this website between Friday lunchtime and late Sunday night. The hosting company where the site is stored - Vizaweb - have been proving increasingly unreliable over recent months, and the latest incident was caused by the database server they rent to their clients crashing, and nobody bothering to restore it.

Moves are underway to get the site transferred to a new reliable hosting company - not a quick process, due to the large volume of content - so please bear with us.
