Saddle fitter/seller wanted in Surrey or Kent - any suggestions?

[Starwood]

Hi, we are in desperate need of a new saddle. We recently bought one for our pony which we've just established has given her a very sore back and is bridging terribly. We've now tried both of our local saddler's unsuccessfully. Does anyone have someone they heartily recommend, ideally in Surrey but will travel further if necessary? I had no idea this would be so difficult!!!

Try Chris Ghol http://www.e-saddler.co.uk/ He's surrey based. We've tried other saddlers over the years (PM me is you want a view on who to avoid!) but keep coming back to him. I would recommend him without hesitation.

I was recommended and just used Andrew Reilly, i found him very knowledgeable and very patience, we took a long time to get the saddle fitted as my mare's a difficult shape cob. but got there in the end and I'm very pleased with the saddle and didn't cost the earth and back.
I'm in east Sussex but he covers Kent and surrey as well.

Louise Howson www.sheresaddles.com is very good. She works in conjunction with several equine physios .

Another for Andrew Reilly. I found him really good to deal with and he took his time to make sure the fittings was right.
