As post title. Can anyone recommend a good saddle fitter in West Yorkshire? Have been given the number of a saddle fitter called Sam from Moody Mares at Halifax. Has anyone used her?

Need a fitter that can get hold of lots of styles of saddles to try on my boy as he is such an awkward shape to fit!

Thanks

took my boy to hey farm lepton for his fitting but the guy there was less than helpful he critisized his size,build and shape and offered to fit something that might fit him had much more joy when i contacted david at throstlenest saddlery he came out with a good selection of saddles and some sound advice of what suited and what did not can recommend him
 
Keith at Fox Saddlers in Wetherby. He would rather lose a sale than sell you something that would not fit your horse. AND he is a Master Saddler not just a retailer who has been on a 2 day saddle fitting course!!
 
David Baxter at Throstle Nest Saddlery, Barnsley. Got both my saddles from there, they have a very wide selection of quality saddles. It you go there they can fit loads of different ones and do have some second hand ones too. FAcilities to ride in it too to see if its ok. He will come out to you if you cant get and bring a selection with him. Lovely Saddlery too so if you go there be prepared to spend too much money on other items too!!
 
Thank you all for recommendations!

I have raided both Hey Farms and Throstle Nests stocks of secondhand saddles and still not found one that fits so going to get someone out to fit one. No transport so can't take him to them. Got a few numbers of fitters to ring so will try them after the holiday weekend.

Took two saddles back to Throstle Nest today and they had a sale on! Had to resist spending as I need all the money for a saddle!!!
