Saddle Fitting

[crazyhorses1]

hey guys, fitting a saddle would you get someone experienced at the livery yard, or get a company/saddler come out? thanks

Get a saddler who has been reccommended, either by peeps on here or by friends/other owners at the yard. The saddler should come with a wide range of saddles to suit your needs and budget.

I would be interested too as I am not far from you and need to arrange a first fitting.

Ingatestone saddlery have saddle fitters but I don't know how much they charge and I don't know anyone that has used them, so it would be good to see who uses saddlers in Essex here for recommendations!

someone said to stay away from them on another thread, cool, where are you?

I don't know if this is any help but I cover Essex and will flock many types/brands of leather saddles. I fit for www.nativeponysaddles.com and we have Phoenix saddles for the less wide and flat .
