Question:
Do you sell or represent saddle brands?

Trusted Supplier: The Saddle Bank

While working with The Saddle Bank, select fitting components and saddles may be sourced when appropriate. All saddle fitting services remain fully independent and brand-neutral, and there is no obligation to purchase a saddle or product during a fitting.

Question:

How should I prepare for my appointment?

Your horse should be clean and dry. Please have any saddles, pads, girths, and relevant tack available, along with a safe place to ride if a ridden evaluation is part of the fitting.

Question:

How often should my saddle be checked?

Saddle fit should be reassessed at least once a year, or sooner if your horse changes condition, workload, or way of going.

Question:

What happens if my horse is not sound or cannot be ridden?

If your horse is not sound or cannot be safely evaluated under saddle on the day of the appointment, the fitting may be modified to a static evaluation or rescheduled. This will be discussed on a case-by-case basis.

Question:

What’s the difference between an independent saddle fitter and a brand-affiliated fitter?

Recommendations are based solely on the horse’s comfort, movement, and rider needs, not on selling a particular saddle. Brand-affiliated fitters work within the products they represent, while independent fitters can assess a wider range of options. There is no obligation to purchase a saddle or product as part of a fitting.

Question:

Where do you travel for saddle fitting?

I provide independent English saddle fitting throughout New England and Eastern New York.

Travel outside of this area may be possible depending on scheduling and location. I often group appointments by region to make travel more efficient for clients.
