Note: visit fees do not apply to the delivery of a new saddle

Calculated from ML12 6TW, added to visit fees, will be shared ONLY where more than one customer at a single venue.

Minimum, depending on the exact location

Full rider assessment and seat optimisation, off horse

A new saddle fitting takes at least 2.5 hours. For an in person, used saddle consult I allow 90 minutes. If you would like a full appointment and time to explore options fully then a used consult (£40, see below) will be added to the charges and I will allow 2.5 hours. For both options you will receive full written details of the saddle model(s) that will be suitable for your horse. The more in depth consultation allows for more attention to be paid to the rider, and more time for trying saddles.

For a saddle I’ve not previously fitted or not seen for more than a year. Ridden assessment, in addition to adjustment charges

Minor adjustments on site, includes flocking rebalance

On site, Jacob wool always carried; other flocking usually carried.

Adjustment of shimming and/or pads, ridden assessment wherever possible. Includes adding seat inserts etc for Ghost saddles (plus cost of accessory/ies)

Where adjustments are not possible on site, depending on the exact work required, charges will be advised and agreed

Remote or in person consultation to advise on second hand purchase. Please also read my blog post "The used saddle conundrum"

Per hour – for example if your horse is not ready for a new saddle and we need to build him or her up.
