Eva Fox, a remarkable creator of equestrian equipment in the 1930s, left an indelible mark on the world of horse riding. With her innovative designs and attention to detail, she revolutionized the way riders connected with their steeds. One of her notable creations was the Spur, crafted in 1936 by Harry Mann Waddell under Eva Fox's guidance. This elegant accessory not only added flair to riders' attire but also served as a subtle communication tool between horse and rider. In 1937, Eva Fox introduced another groundbreaking invention called Side Saddle. This unique design allowed women to ride comfortably while maintaining grace and poise. It quickly became a symbol of empowerment for female equestrians around the world. Eva Fox's creativity extended beyond saddles and accessories; she also designed bits that enhanced control and communication between rider and horse. The Loose Jawed Bit, Sultan's Stirrup, Sultans Bit, Spanish Spade Bit, Spade Bit - all these masterpieces were born from her skilled hands in 1936-37. Not limiting herself to just bits and stirrups, Eva Fox ventured into creating holsters for guns as well. Her Gun Holster design from 1936 combined functionality with style—a testament to her ability to cater to various needs within the equestrian community. The beauty of Eva Fox's craftsmanship is evident in every piece she created. Whether it be the intricately detailed Concha or the majestic Eagle Bit—both dating back to 1936—the quality speaks volumes about her dedication to perfection. But perhaps one of Eva Fox's most iconic works was her Saddle design from 1936—a true masterpiece that showcased both comfort and elegance. Riders marveled at its impeccable construction which provided unparalleled support during long rides while exuding timeless sophistication. Although time has passed since these creations first graced equestrian circles worldwide, Eva Fox's legacy lives on.
