I have used Katie Topping and she is fantastic, great attention to detail and always on hand to help. She fitted my wow to a very round haffie and I've never had a days problem with it and at her regular back checks she never has an issue. It is definately worth giving her a ring if you are...

In reply to everyone slagging off master saddlers and the exam process, there are some bad eggs out there but not everyone is rubbish. There is 4 years training and continuous assessment to become a saddler and then another 3-4 yrs to become a master. To become a qualified fitter you need 3...

Simple as that! Thank you! and yes, i do feel numb!

Forgive me if I'm being stupid but is there a way to trace the posts i have replied to? By chance i found one last night and one of the girls had asked me a question about what i said, i never would have known if i hadn't found it again. Thank you!

I had a great saddler out who fits both wow saddles and conventional saddles. She is called katie topping, and her contact number is 07977077683. She is SMS registered saddler and saddle fitter. She is based an lancashire but i know she does travel quite a distance as she was in Wales the day...

Hiya I have a fantastic saddler called Katie Topping. I've got a very wide, flat backed haflinger whose saddles have always moved but she's fitted me a fab saddle that, with just changing the girthing arrangement, doesn't move at all and its comfy too! She also made me a beautiful bridle to...
