Gd saddler in Bristol/Glos area??

[Hollyhorse]

We have recently moved house and now live between Bristol and Gloucestershire. I have a couple of horses ranging from youngsters to competition eventers and dressage horses. Can anyone recommend a REALLY good reliable saddler in my area that is not going to solely try and sell me any one of their saddles but will work hard to try and find a saddle that fits and suits both me and the horse? (sorry if that last bit sounds negative but we've had a lot of bad experiences with saddlers which have just tried to sell us any old saddle and one saddle that have near crippled my horse, so lacking faith in a genuine good saddler!)
Many thanks

Peter Lewis from Pointings Saddlery...he was SMS chair for years and also chair of BETA...he has just refit my Albion GP after a disasterous experience with a treeless saddle company. Thank god I didn't sell my old faithful.

Chris Puddy. based just outside of Bath in Marksbury. Qualified master saddler 01761 479600. Been using him for years and wouldnt go anywhere else. Might be a bit to far for you tho?

Also a vote for Pontings
Laurence @ Stroud Saddlery is also very good

both are very busy and can be hard to get hold of - reliable when you eventually do though!

ps. welcome to Berkeley - I grew up there!

I attended a saddle fitting course recently and Laurence from Stroud Saddlery was one of the trainers. He is very good and thorough.
