Saddle Fitting
& Charges

Poppy Webber is a fully qualified Society Of Master Saddlers Saddle Fitter,
and is available for saddle fittings, adjustments and repairs.

She covers most of Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire and Norfolk (see map at bottom of page). She is able to refit and reflock your current saddle, or bring a selection of new or used saddles to try. 
 

She recommends you check your saddle every six months at least - this guidance comes from The Society Of Master Saddlers. It is very important to have your saddle checked as a preventative measure, as you would have a farrier or a dentist. Don't wait until your saddle doesn't fit, or causes problems.

In some cases - eg a young horse, or one recovering from injury - you may even find you need it checking and adjusting more regularly. It is essential for your horse's back and health to have a well fitting saddle. 

Have a read of this newspaper article for more information. 

 

Please read this ESSENTIAL guide before your saddle fitting.
It tells you everything you need to know, and what your saddle fitter will expect from you.
