Reccomend me a qualified saddler....

[sandi_84]

Who can check the fit of my saddle, do adjustments re-flock or would do a part exchange on a new saddle if need be.

Must have a very good reputation for being consistantly good at their job... in the north of Scotland please?

I was just about to come and write a post of a similar nature seeking someone in south of Scotland.

I've been advised to try an equipe saddle so I'm trying to track down someone who stocks these saddles in Scotland so I can try one.

Will watch this post with interest though

Anyone have any opinions on Clare Molyneux? (think I spelled that correctly!) she covers my area apparently.

Shirley Justice-Vose (spelling?) is the only saddler I've never heard anything negative about. Not sure of her catchment area but worth asking the question.

My friend used SJV and wasn't impressed. I'm now using Elis at the grange and getting my saddles checked using their pressure pad.

I use Kay Hastilow and would thoroughly recommend her

I like Kay as well, but shes a bit of an aqquired taste

Why is she shouty or does she have a dodgey sense of humour?

No, not with me anyway. I found her easy to get along with and she knew exactly what she was doing. I couldn't fault her.

Hi sandi I have replied in your other post.

Highly recommended

Best if you fill out the online form for a booking. If you are close to Aberdeen, he does a fitting day at a yard near Kintore ( detials on the NERC website).

Fits the saddle to you and your horse, and unlike Kay Haslow doesnt seem to push his own "brand" and carries a wide selection of saddles - both new and second hand.

I wouldn't use anyone else but Elis at Grange Saddlery and I have used Central saddlery, Stirlingshire saddlery and erlind in the past.
