I'm looking for a good, reliable saddle fitter to visit my mare in Saltash. Im looking to buy another saddle, but after a synthetic preferably as she's still a youngster.
Amy help will be greatly appreciated!
thank you!

Sorry can't help other than to say avoid here: www.saddlewisesouthwest.co.uk - and here: www.saddleexchange.co.uk

I've had (as have others on here) negative experiences with both. The Saddlewise South West woman advertises in the Western Morning News and is a mobile fitter who does mainly 2nd hand saddles - don't be tempted even if you're desperate!, the others I mention are based in Somerset but cover the area and fit new.

Ok, thanks!
I've heard so many mixed reviews, was thinking of using Wendy Sibley. of Ashton Saddlery? The other which looks positive is Jodi Hooper?

Saddlesore South West has had lots of negative feedback, when I spoke to get at the Equine Fair a couple of years ago, she waffled loads if crap. Jodie Hooper from Okehampton is good, I used her in the past until I went for a tree free saddle. Marcus Bond from Saltash is s'posed to be quite good
