My normal saddler has been out a few times lately with my new horse. He's always been good and thorough. I think he's lost the plot! Twice he's forgotten all his measuring stuff and the Thorowgood gullets as I told him that's what I wanted saddle wise as just hacking him at the mo to build fitness and as he's young and green I'll wait untill I get a really lovely saddle. Firstly he tried on every saddle he had all with a price tag of £1000 + as apparently the cob saddle I had was too flat for him. So I went and bought a standard thorowgood. The gullet I had was too wide and knew I needed a White or even narrower. Well again he comes out with no gullets. This time I'm told to ride on the saddle for a month so the flocking can compress down at the back to even it out!!!! WTF??!! He didn't even ask me to mount to see how bad it is with weight on top. Not that I would of! It's clearly too wide and low at the front so imagine riding on a saddle that tilted forward for one, on a young green horse, not to mention the pressure it would cause him, the back ache it would cause me let alone if he suddenly stoped! I'm shocked. So now in need of a new saddler. Typical the good one I called is booked solid untill April!!
