Mike Norton is good

 

[SpaceMolly]

Thanks was thinking of phoning them as i'm being messed about by another well known fitter!

Why doesnt that suprise me

Yep I know mike was away in Holland first two weeks of Jan. Actually i will ring him too and perhaps we can be on teh same day - seeing as you are only 1 mile away.

 

[SpaceMolly]

Sounds like a good plan.....does he charge call out? I just want a saddle lol haven't really been able to ride him yet!

Mike Norton is def the best saddler I have ever had. He has done all our horses and they have never had any problems, and he checks ours every 6-12 months.
Mum feeds him cakes and coffee!!
And he has some lovely saddles!!

 

[SpaceMolly]

Lol thank you. have just phoned them and they are getting him to give me a ring. Looks like i can't have the saddle i'm after though!

 

[lizzie_liz]

aw but am sure you'll still end with a nice looking comfy saddle

CH Brown are good like BBS said - also Ken Langford are good too.
They are based in Appleton.

Wouldnt use anyone but Mike personally

 

[lizzie_liz]

looks like we are all agreed on one thing..mike is best saddler in the area!! I can't believe that some people at my yard dislike him, just because he told them the truth about their saddles!!

Ok going to get my head bitten off.....

*whispers* I'm not overly fond of Mike...

 

[Weezy]

Ohhh who do you use? Just personally find him better than any of the other local ftters round here but always open to suggestion!

 

[flyingfeet]

Just to be different I use Stephanie Guant from Somerset!

 

[Weezy]

Ahh is this my soon to be be-friended WOW fitter?

 

[flyingfeet]

Yup - according to Maggie at WOW Stephanie and Laura are the best available!
