Hiya!
I recently booked an appointment with a qualified saddler. The saddler took one look at my saddle and said "its too big, you need to change the gusset to the next size down". I changed the gusset to the next size down but I am worried that it still doesnt fit properly so wanted to get someone else out to check it over properly. The saddler I used has a good reputation but I got the impresson that because he wasnt really going to make any money out of me he was a bit slap dash.
I am so paranoid about my new horsey, I just want to make sure that everything is ok, I would hate to think I was hurting her by riding her in an ill fitting saddle!
All saddlers seem to be down south but I have found one in the Aberdeen area - Joanne Breese. Has anyone heard of her and is she any good?

I had her fit my boy a few years ago. I would say she is good. She is honest in her assessments and will not lie and say something does/doesn't fit. She was thorough to, she actually saw both me and the sharer ride in the saddle - before that the fitters I had up just looked at saddle on horse, pulled stuff and applied pressure and then gave comment.
