Why do I bother with a saddler?

(Sorry small rant)
It was utterly pointless!
She decided to not see me sit on it (ok it was raining, but I would have got on in the stable, it would have been enough to see the problems)
she did not listen to one thing I said about how I have found it fitting my horse when I'm sitting on it... I.e asymmetric horse = tipping saddle to the right/front!
of course it would look correct when no one is sitting on it! It's just sat on top of him!
she said it was 'unable to put any flocking in it' as it was not a saddle that could be flocked?....eh??? It's a new Thorowgood! It's been flocked twice before!!!
and to 'just put a sheep skin pad under to take up any loose room' and to stop it moving in front (it doesn't move in front) was the only thing she 'could do' to help!!!
WTF???
there is no loose room...... The saddle needs flocking in the right panel.....and I gave the sheep pad a go tonight and it was awful!!!

omg I want to slam my head against a brick wall.....it may be more effective!

Who was this OP???

C'mon....... name and shame!!!

Shocking; how TF can anyone see if a saddle fits if you don't sit on the flippin' thing??? You wouldn't even fit a saddle on a rocking horse like that FFS. PLEASE don't tell me you bought a NEW saddle off this woman??

Shocked and appalled.

I don't even know her full name! My mum organised it! :/

No it wasn't a new saddle... I've had it about a year.
However due to his asymmetric-ness the saddle twists/tips and one side of the top of the panel actually presses against his withers...... I have read enough on this that all the saddle needed was some flocking in the right panel....
But no saddler wouldn't listen to this or even consider flocking it to even up the saddle!!!

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
