Pls recommend a saddle fitter in Hampshire, along A3 corridor, near Petersfield.

I have been given the name of David Catlin, Fareham. Has anyone used him and, if so, feedback, please.

Many thanks x

David is really good he really trys to find you a saddle that both fits and that you can afford. TDS (winchester) are also good and very reliable.

I've used David for 7 years.

My old boy had saddle related back issues before he fitted his saddle, he was very sensitive. He never had a problem once David fitted one. He fits a lot of my clients saddles and I have never seen/known of a problem. He will also not sell you a saddle if you don't need one, he's very trustworthy. In fact the saddle I bought off him I thought was new until he told me it was 2nd hand, someone had used it twice! Talk about honest!!

Liz McGown who works with Jenny Hadland is also good (and has also checked the odd saddle for me when she was out with Jenny because it was convenient, and never qualmed the fit David had made).

I second Liz. She has been great with my mare and her ever changing shape.

meant to add with Liz... She doesn't have her own stock of saddles so would only be able to adjust or give you advice on what you've got.
