hi,
Have seen a 2nd hand prestige saddle - the silver star for sale in a 17'' 33- for sale.
My horse fits a 29'' stubben- does anyone know if this 33'' would be around the same size?

Does anyone know where i could get a prestige saddle fitter in the bristol or surrounding areas?

Have found unicorn saddlery but thats taunton! is that the nearest and are they good and helpful?

Do they do the tree adjustments that prestige offer?
Does anone know how much these adjustments cost and if they can be done numerous times?

THANKS

Just want somebody with a good reputation around the area and dont mind travelling the horse to them, just not a great deal of good saddlers in the bristol area unfortunatelY!!!!!
 
My YO has a Prestige fitted (I am fairly sure) from new by Unicorn Saddlery. Her mare changed shape and it needed to go wider, so Unicorn had it back to widen it. They had to keep it for a couple of days due to the altering process which involved heat, but yes they do have the equipment to do alterations at their shop.

I used to live in the Bristol area and YO, another girl and I had the saddler from Unicorn out at the same time. We were all happy, I had a new saddle and felt convinced by the fit of it (if you know what I mean!).

Due to extreme age I can't remember the saddler's name but he does travel although our yard is only about 10 miles away.

In short, in my experience I thought he was very good, reliable, on time and helpful. There were no problems in getting him back to check the fit of my saddle after I had ridden in it for 6 weeks (which is a lot more than I can say for one particular saddler in the Bath area!!!)

I think it is Phil at Unicorn Saddlery if I remember right and he will travel. He is very good and i highly recommend him. I would also recommend the saddler from Equicraft in Backwell/Nailsea. He is also very good. Not sure whether he does the prestige saddles though.
