Keith at Fox Saddlers in Wetherby. He will definitely NOT try and sell you a saddle that does not fit your horse. He would rather lose a sale than sell you the wrong saddle. Also he is a Saddler not just a retailer so knows what he is talking about.
As Budgie said - no complaints with Keith. Don't know what rideaway are like - I have a feeling you can take your horse there and try their saddles (I think?). Not sure whether they have an expert saddler on site though.
I had Karen Moxon out from York 3 weeks ago and she was fantastic. I had hey farm out and they just wanted to sell me a new made to measure. Turns out my boy is asymmetric and no standard saddle would have fitted him so she recommended a korrector pad and I can now say my boy is a different horse to ride and feels so much better without even having a new saddle forced on me! I can certainly recommend her!

If you go to Hey Farm, Michelle is really good fitter - has a good eye for balance in a saddle. She'll come out to you, but Helen the saddler is on site 4 days a week and I take my horse and saddle up there.
BTW - we went up 2 months ago for a checkup, and I was charged nothing.
