Saddler recommendations South Hants

[Sit_Up]

Has anyone used TDS saddlers or could they recommend a good saddler in the Southampton area?

I have my new boy and although at first glance my saddle looks like it could be a reasonable fit, I would like to get someone out to check it properly and give it the once over as it is quite old.

Was going to use someone else locally, but found out they are not master saddler as claimed and having seen them fit a saddle this week not overly impressed. Bit sad as everyone on the yard seems to have used her.

Don't really know "people" locally and don't have a lesson until end of next week (so can't ask trainer for recommendations until then) and need to get someone out during easter hols.

Thanks in advance

Hi
I had Jill Tremmill. She was very good. Her website is www.meadowleasaddles.co.uk

I use Martin Andrew at horse e things in Fordingbridge, but he does come out to Southampton and is very through.

Thanks chaps

Cornflakes, I looked at the website, but it does not say where Jill is based.

Another fan of Martin Andrew at horse-e-things!

Jill is based in Waterloville. By the way a Master Saddler is not necessarily a qualified saddle fitter and not all saddle fitters are registered with the society of Master Saddlers.
