Comfort First Saddle Fitting

Even on holiday I manage to squeeze in some saddles! Last night we went to see the amazing menorcan horses at son martorellet. And I couldn’t help but quiz the riders on their fascinating saddles. And of course squeeze in some pony cuddles!!

I’m back on the first of September and can’t wait to hit the ground running! Feel free to drop me a message for an appointment.

What a fantastic week it’s been! Firstly, on Monday I spent the day with Roger, Master Saddler and QSF, at Ingatestone Saddlery Centre in Essex. We completed two full fittings and a check and he showed me around his incredible workshop. I now have workshop envy!!

Then Tuesday it was back in the car to travel to Black Country Saddles to learn all about their different trees and models. It was fascinating to learn about all of the customisations they have available!

I have a small amount of availability for fittings this week! Please feel free to drop me a message to see how I can help!

I had the best time last week on my Qualified Saddle Fitting course. I met so many amazing people! Just one final practical exam to go!

Now taking bookings for the week commencing the 15th of July for quality, affordable saddle fitting solutions.

This week has seen another successful practical component of the Qualified Saddle Fitting course completed. If you have ever thought about becoming a SMS RQSF, think about it no longer - enrolment for our October course is now open. Go to our training website to find out more information and enrol.

It’s all systems go at the moment! I’m busy in the workshop, out fitting, and working on my theory work for my Qualified Saddle Fitting course at the start of July!! I do have limited availability next week though! And a last minute slot on Saturday!

Tried my hand at making a TikTok today! Thought it might be interesting to those who haven’t seen the inside of a saddle before! I aim to offer a full re-flock in two or three days so you’re back on board as quickly as possible!

Well what a week!! I’ve had an absolutely amazing time in Surrey with the wonderful Ellie Martin of The Bespoke Saddle Co LTD. It started off on Wednesday with a saddle fitters training day organised by Ellie, and it was lovely to meet so many other fitters! This included a talk from Leah Wright of Vulcan Veterinary Physiotherapy and Saddlery. As well as a long talk on fitting a saddle to the rider, we talk all about horse saddle fit, but rider saddle fit is just as important! This was followed by two days out saddle fitting with Ellie, I learnt loads and can’t wait to put it all into practice!!

Feel free to message me if I can help in any way!

It absolutely makes my day to receive reviews like this! I had the saddle for only 24 hours meaning this fantastic little rider could get cracking again straight away!!

Thank you everyone for all your support, likes, and shares, following the official launch of Comfort First Saddle Fitting. I’ve had several enquiries regarding costs, so I thought I’d explain my fee structure here for transparency.

I am trying to keep it as affordable as possible whilst not compromising on quality of service:

Call out: No charge, but mileage is charged at 45 pence per mile.

Fitting fee: £40. This includes taking a template of your horse, checking the fit of your current saddle, making minor adjustments, and watching you ride to ensure the perfect fit.

Additional saddles on the same horse incur a £20 fitting fee.

On site flock top up: between £10-£30

Full Re-flock (Workshop only): £125.

I can also help with sourcing saddles based on your specific requirements.

Please do contact me with any enquiries or to make a booking.
