saddle advice

[millies]

I've been given a lovely (albeit second hand and well used)old english leather saddle to use on Millie if it fits. The saddle is in pretty good condition given its age, there is no obvious damage to the tree and all stitching is fine, however it deffinatley needs reflocking. I've put the saddle on Millie, though not ridden in it, and to my untrained eye I would say it was a good fit.
So to the point, given that the saddle is oldish, would it be worth getting the saddle reflocked and getting a saddler to check the fit or should I just get a new/newer second hand one? Does any one know of a good saddle fitter in west yorkshire? And finally does anyone know roughly what it would cost? Thanks, Millies.

Get a saddle fitter out and see what they say. The ones I've had out charge £40 call out and will include minor alterations if they can do it while there for that price. I had my saddle totally reflocked and it cost a further £60 to do.
