I wouldn't go there for saddle fitting.
Sharon Lock no longer works there and Jenny is doing it, without any qualifications.
Might be worth giving Pinkers, Pointings or Chris Puddy a call

No dont use them! Know of lots of people who have had saddles from them all go wrong! Def try Puddy or Pointings - puddy has more choice of stuck.

Here's Chris' website btw: http://www.cjpuddysaddlery.co.uk

Another vote for Puddy

ring him and see hes not really that far from jennys tack shop so if they would go to you im sure chris would visit you.

doesnt he only do new saddles?
cant afford a new one unfortunately

 

[monkeybum13]

Good point, not too sure actually.
Might be worth phonig chris to see if he will travel, he is more reasonably priced

 

[ldlp111]

ok thanks for help

Go for a proper "saddler" rather than a saddle "fitter".

Chris Harper is very good.

Avoid jennys Tack Shop, the saddle fitting is appaling. Sharon Lock is still fitting but not for them. Id go for Chris Puddy or Nathaniel.

Pointins went as far as Gillingham, Dorset so should go to Taunton.

I had Julia Garrett out to do Jazz's saddle, to Wrangway, and she was brill!
