Saddle Company fitter North Lincolnshire area?

[Scunny]

Does anyone know of a Saddle Company fitter in the Scunthorpe area (North Lincolnshire) please? Our welshies put too much weight on due to no work (he had a nasty accident this spring and daughter's lost interest in riding) and I tacked him up to day, I got a shock, had loads of stuff going on the last few months and hadn't realised just how much weight he'd gained and his saddle is way too tight

I'm going to start lunging and long reining him while we get him slimmed down but to be honest I've never been really happy with the saddle's fit, it was brand new custom made for him two years ago and has always slipped, no matter what we've tried under it, he's such a wide, no wither flat backed ponio even when slim and fit. It has the point and balance straps so heaven knows what it would be like without them, the fitter at the time said he was a saddle fitters nightmare with his shape and that everything would probably slip, daughter had a nasty fall on her neck 18 months ago when he started napping and the saddle slipped right round

I've been wanting it checking for ages but haven't been able to find anyone in our area, the last fitter came quite a distance and it cost quite a lot in traveling costs on top of the fitting.

Have you rang the SC? I rang them when I used to have a SC saddle and they gave me the number of a fitter nearby. They may have trained up new fitters near you since you last had one out. They were very helpful to deal with!
