Hi all.

Can anyone recommend a saddle fitter in the Shropshire area? I have used Pete Oakes in the past but although I was very happy with the saddle I eventually got he is a hard man to pin down and missed several appointments!

I'm going to give the Wyke equestrian centre a ring tomorrow to see what they have in stock, but was wondering if anybody had other personal recommendations? I'm looking for a WH style leather saddle, nice and straight cut, either reasonably priced new or second hand, and have a good leather saddle to part exchange. As such it would be a huge bonus if the saddler had lots of second hand saddles in stock and is happy to part-ex (can afford to buy new if I can flog the old one!).

Off to feed the pony in a minute so please excuse me if I don't reply until later tonight! Cheers.

Andy Wheals (used to be at Telford Saddlery but is now Master of N Shrops hounds), don't know if he is still saddle fitting but found him very good. 07950 256173.
 
Second Andy who came out to adjust our saddles last month. Only problem is he is very busy so may not be able to come out immediately.
 
Recommend Mel Lewis of The Horse Shop

Tel: 01952 506699| Hartfield House, Pool Hill Rd, Dawley, Telford, Shropshire TF4 3AS

She has 100s of second hand and new saddles (I've seen them when I picked up my new show saddle last year!).
 
I'll second Mel she is fab, oh and she fitted sister's table top back cob no problem with a jump and dressage saddle

That's very good to hear as, all being well with the saddle I'm looking to buy now, I'll want a jumping saddle fitted in time for the hunting season too!
