No, I’m afraid I’m a specialist and only check current or former brands – Ghost, Knights, ErgoX2 and AH as of 2025

If you haven't already please fill in my booking form - no commitment but the more information you can give me the better I can help you. Please pay careful attention to the instructions at the top.
If you would prefer to chat first please understand that calls will need to be fairly short, though if you’d like an in depth chat I do offer a full consultation for £40 for up to an hour.
On completion of a booking form you will receive an autoreply email and, usually within 48 hours max, a customer information pack. Both include instructions for those photos which are needed to complete your booking.
For saddle checks for my current and former brands only, please message me in any of the usual ways, do not complete a booking form.
You can find the full price list here, or I can email a printable PDF version on request.
Knights are £1799 for GPs and mid-high £2000s for jump and dressage, Ghost run from £606 for a child’s saddle/bareback pad to around £1500 for the special JB saddle, with most regular models falling between £900 and £1250.
Used and ex demo saddles are available in small numbers but I also offer a more comprehensive used saddle advice service. I offer this across my own areas only and prefer not to offer this service where another fitter will maintain the saddle as all fitters work differently. Saddles and/or bareback pads may be available for lease while horses are changing shape.
My territory is vast so I always take your booking first (including getting photos for new customers) and then will book you in asap once I have enough people to make the trip viable. Longer distance trips are usually 2-3 days and take some booking as you can imagine, so the more flexible you can be the easier it is.
Most areas are visited at least once every 6 weeks, many more often.
Discounts on callout only available for customers on the same yard; my costs are just not the same as a local saddle fitter who might only have 15 minute journeys between each customer when they’re “in your area” so there is no discount.
I carry a small stock (occasionally I have nothing in stock at all) of usually ex demo or excellent condition used saddles across all brands, current and former. I do not carry other brands.
I would say the vast majority of my work would be considered remedial as I don’t check other saddles and am only called out once a new saddle is decided on I seldom see horses that are without some impact from a previous poorly fitting saddle. I have a variety of different ways of tackling the issues relating to horses likely to change shape, ground work being the main focus but also including a very small selection of temporary “rehab” saddles and bareback pads that are available to lease, and a choice of shim pads/systems to enable frequent fitting adjustments
No, I am not. I have periodically looked into qualifications, but as I have been fitting professionally since 2009 and have an excellent reputation, I only take on training/CPD that will add to what I do, rather than asking me to change the way I fit saddles in order to pass an exam. I believe the training I have had (especially from Andrea Hicks and Maria Hallring) is second to none and I continue to learn from fitters, bodyworkers, trainers and all sorts of equine professionals in order to augment my understanding and skillset.
Yes, but only for a group of a minimum of 3 riders at a venue. Please enquire.
