Depends on what you want to spend really. David from Village Saddlery IMO is the best but sells expensive saddles.

janet blackburn, independant master saddle fitter, does all ours, have recommended her many times, 07977909239. company name 'just saddles'.

I've used http://www.saddleconsultant.co.uk/ for a saddle check though, not to buy anything.

She seemed good, IMO and I'd use her again, which is more than I can say for a few others in the NW!

Paul Hutchinson is not a master saddler, but he can source and fit a saddle perfect for you and your horse. He normally comes to look at your horse then gets 4 or 5 different makes and comes back to see which suits. This is often much better than a saddler who wants to sell a particulr brand as it could be just the wrong type for your horse.
PM me if you want his number. BTW he is totally independant.

I use Bridlepath International. They're based near Cambridge, but travel the country.

Nice, informative, and knowledgeable. They don't fob you off

And, wouldn't let me buy an expensive saddle when a cheaper one that fits for now asmy ned is still growing.

Email them rather than ring (no answer machine).

Hi, i live in Lancashire and have just used Hilary Cox from Crosfields Saddlery, would really recommend her, nice lady and very good at her job, pm me if you want her contact details

another vote for david at village saddlery and he will travel!

Certainly knows his job originally recommended to me by my horse physio.

Agree totally with louby, only drawback is he does tend to sell the premium make saddles.
