Anyone can come up with slick marketing material.
But the proof of whether something works is in how it performs over time.
Here is what
some of our clients have said about
Saddles That Fit!
services:
Your
saddle fitting job got a major test yesterday. Went with
a couple people on what was supposed to be a 6 mile trail
ride. One of the people was riding with a treeless saddle,
she slipped, fell off, and lost her horse. The end result
was that Hazel and I went about 12 miles (she was unusually
well behaved most of the way) and the third horseman about
20.
Hazel's
back had no signs of soreness afterwards. But the horse
that had gone 20 miles had quite a sore back. I said it
was shame he hadn't come to your saddle fitting.
The other horse was found and will be ok. Thanks for making
Hazel's day tolerable for her!

I am really
enjoying the saddle. I rode with it Sunday and today. Trixie is
acting a lot happier (she's not kicking out or swishing her tail
anymore). I can't believe the difference. It also feels so good
to me (I can sit properly now!) (1/2007)
(One year
later, we are still doing really well, happily going down the
trail!) 3/2008

Wow,
time sure goes by when you are having fun! It has been a
year and a half since you saw us. The saddle that you recommended
for Rocky works very well. We both love it, and there is
no more sore back. Jon

I
have been riding and buying saddles for many years. Now
that I have been able to ride multiple saddle brands on
my horse all in the same day, I would not do it any
other way.
All
of the brands we tried fit better than I expected, but I
could clearly feel Calle Lilly go so much better in the
Frank Baines. Katie

Dear
Susan and David,
I just wanted to send you a special thank you for all
you did for Tiny, Marcelyn and myself last Sunday. It
is amazing how empowering the whole experience was. I
feel so much more confidant knowing what Tequila and I
need. You were both so patient and kind and made the whole
learning process enjoyable and fun! You truly changed
my life with this knowledge. Thank you both for "being".
My husband Hawkeye is VERY impressed and that’s
not any easy thing to do!
Your new #1 fan, Jen (11/2007)

Thanks

I
was heartened that you helped me confirm that my made-to-order
JJ Maxwell saddle does fit Keen and my mare. We learned
so much!
The
Black Rhino saddle you had helps me sit even better and
Keen is even more responsive in it. He never wanted to canter
in anything before putting this on. So I am going to keep
it! Now we can ride both horses on long trail rides with
confidence that nothing is hurting. |

Tango is
like a whole new horse since I got my new Crates saddle. Even
my husband can't believe the change. Thank you so much for helping
us get it right! Laura
"I
rode Segoula in my saddle yesterday at the clinic and we
did really well. YEAH!!! I feel so much more
confident with a saddle that fits. Now we ride a lot more
often and are making better progress. THANK YOU SOOOOOO
MUCH."

We all learned
so much at the clinic! I am feeling so much better.
This is a turning point with my horse. We really appreciate
all that the two of you taught us.

Just
a quick note to let you know everything seems to fit perfect!!!
I went to Don's on Sunday with Fancy to work buffalo.
She worked up a good sweat. Not overly sweaty, just
perfect. I did not have one dry spot. YES!!!!
I am so excited. We had a GREAT time!!! Thanks again
for all your help...................Sabra |

I
just wanted you to know how much I am enjoying my Albion! Thanks
for helping me find it and making it fit Patches so well.

Many
thanks again for my second Albion to fit my new mare Ruby.

Thanks so much for all your
input re: saddles and helping me focus in on a size/tree etc.
for my horse. I even think my husband learned something
about saddles and the value of getting one that fits right (thanks!!).

I
wanted to thank you for all your help. Everyone at
the clinic had to write down their top 10 favorite things
about the 3-week clinic, and your saddle fitting day was
on every student's list! Thanks ever
so much. Hope to see you soon. (9/2005) |

Hi
susan! Melody is doing wonderfully in her new Specialized
saddle. I'm very happy with how light it
is. She has been such a hard horse to fit, being so sensitive
and changing so much. Thanks for sticking with us to get it right
and helping to make it a good experience.
Jody
Just
wanted to thank you again for spending so much time with
Dave and me explaining about saddles. You, especially, went
out of your way and it was so appreciated. I think
Dave has taken your advice and decided to stick with his
English. If and when we decide to saddle hunt again,
we'll contact you.
Happy trails! (3/2004) |

These
are our first horses and we have lots to learn. But with
your help, we now have saddles that aren't getting in the
way of that. I am so happy that we could shim my Tucker
to fit. And both Tom and Big Girl LOVE their new County
saddle. She is like a new horse! |

Thanks
for yesterday's fitting session with Kona. I learned a lot
from you and very much appreciate all the time you spent with
us.

Thanks
for spending the day with us last Sunday. It was great to
spend a day studying saddles and the way they should fit.
A very good investment of time and money... |
