of your horse's back and a wither
template would also be helpful and if you have a saddle a
photo of your horse wearing his/her current saddle ( from both
sides) and details of any problems you are experiencing.
On the day of your fitting
I will template your horse for our records and will have the
selection of the saddles you have chosen with me, you can try
them and should you decide to buy one we would take
payment for the saddle plus call out fee. All our saddles have a
trial period, 4 weeks for ReactorPanel and 7 days for Comfort
and Native Pony.
Should you wish to return or
exchange your saddle during this time you would be given a
refund less the charge of £20 per week to cover saddle hire (
ReactorPanle only) . All
our saddles also come with a 1 year guarantee on both the tree
and leatherwork, please see the saddle exchange website for full
terms and conditions.
We
recommend a saddle check within the first 3 months especially in
cases of remedial fits as we have found that horses and
ponies will regenerate muscle very quickly when fitted correctly
and given the right exercise, because of this we give a free
adjustment/re-flock during this time subject to the agents call
out fee.
Please feel free to contact me for your annual saddle check, my
diary page will give you an idea as to when I will be available.
I also have scheduled fitting days at Lower Burston Farm,
Bow, Crediton , see fees page for
details of what you can expect to pay for services . Please call or e-mail and I will be happy
to fit you in, unfortunately I cannot do a fitting
without a prior booking.
I also fit at Bowhayes Farm, Culmstock for students of my good
friend Lucinda McAlpine. I am of course always available
for advice via telephone or e-mail as quite often I can make
suggestions which may make a call out un-necessary.
