Can anyone recommend Alice Nuttgens Saddler, Oxfordshire?

Hi, not sure if this is in the right place, but I need a new saddler as can't get hold of my previous one, and have come across Alice Nuttgens in Henley. I am sure she is very good but always like to go by a personal recommendation and am struggling to find one at the minute - any positive experiences or other local suggestions?

Many thanks!

I would recommend her. She is the saddler I use for my horse who is a rather awkward shape and fitted the Albion Platinum Royale. It was a bit more costly than I was anticipating, but has the ability to be adjusted rather than needing to change saddle as he matures. I know that's down to the saddle, but I went with her advice and have been very happy with it. Hope that helps.

Thank you very much, that is really helpful - my new horse is not going to be easy to fit either so looking for someone who can cope with his unusually high withers!

She found a saddle for my barrel shaped Welsh D as well although it took 3 visits! I like her because I asked her to check fit when I had an elderly synthetic saddle and she did just that and didn't try and sell me a new one!Very down to earth person and not chatty but don't be put off.

not chatty but don't be put off.

I agree, but what she says is useful and well considered.

Brilliant, thank you both very much!
