Saddle fitter in Yorkshire

[arwenplusone]

My final recommendation post, honest!

I have done dentist & physio so now I need a saddle fitter

,
preferably one who can come to my yard with a selection of saddles?

Thanks

I think r an r country are meant to be good, and I think rideaway also come out don't they? My friend had RandR to fit her horse, and they brought lots of saddles with them - new and secondhand - although took her 6 weeks to get the appointment. I'm not sure if Mrs Fraser at Beckwithshaw comes out, but she does do saddle fitting at her beavers shop.

Think the guys at Fox saddlers in wetherby might also come out to you?

David Baxter from Throstle Nest Saddlrey, Barnsley, he is in South Yorkshire, dont know which Yorkshire your in but he will travel.

R&R - Selby area.

Keith from Fox Saddlers is good, also cheaper than above - Wetherby area

Hay Farm from Huddersfield, you can take your horse there.

I've also been told that Barry Westerman (think thats his name...I do have his details at home) is a good old hand, not had him though but someone on our yard has.

Thanks stencilface. I might try R &R, though 6 weeks seems a long time to wait!


steelydan I think Barnsley may be too far away? I am in York. But thank you.

I have in my head a 'Caroline' who does saddle fitting in this area but I cannot remember her last name!

I use Bridlepath International. They travel the country

. I have tried a number of saddlers over the last couple of years and would only recommend this lot

. They take a lot of time, bring out a load of saddles, talk a lot of sense, prices are very reasonable (I think), and I'll stick to them for our neds

. Oh, forgot to say, they also stopped me spending an absolute fortune when I didn't need to, even though they would have benefited from it
