    International Academy of Saddle Fitters

    Personally I wouldn't use a "saddle fitter" only a master saddler, but I do appriciate that they are hard to come by. The majority of ones employed by brands do very little training at all.

  6. Q

    Horse prices - Will they drop?

    It cost over a grand to get a foal on the ground so selling horses for that makes no sense at all. I don't think horse prices are high, just what they should be currently

    Should I hit the panic button?

    I think I am about 40 miles from CI but I have a 225 acre farm so space and grazing isn't really an issue for us. Also have large sheep pens that can double as mare and foal pens

    I have a mare due end of July, so we will be on foal watch any way then. Literally makes no difference to do two at once! I will hopefully then have a mare and foal for them to go out with. :)

  14. Q

    Negotiating prices...

    I have just purchased a foal and paid the full asking price. I felt like it is a strong market, I wanted him and it was not a greedy price. I sold a horse earlier in the year and I got the full asking price. Think it is indicative of where the market is just now
  15. Q

    Recommendations for decent wearing mid range jods/breeches etc

    I have a few that are mentioned here. Blackford are excellent, but do have sticky bits, I would say they come up slightly big Flexars are great, no sticky, true to size, they look tiny when you first get them though. Horze also good, range of designs, find them true to size
