"I thought I needed a new saddle as mine is quite old although in good condition. Andy gave me excellent advice about the confirmation of my horse how to girth him properly and what type of pad and girth to use. He re-flocked my saddle and the first time I rode Shaun in it I felt so much more comfortable, balanced and confident. I am an experienced rider and Andy will return in a few months to re-assess when Shaun has developed more top-line. He is worth every penny as he gives sound and practical advice. He is also a horse rider himself and he knows saddle fitting and balance from personal experience. He has made me and my horse much more relaxed and able to focus on the work in hand."
"Saddle brilliant, feels much more balanced to ride in, really pleased!"
"Excellent service from a very pleasant professional guy. Troys made to measure saddle is superb, fits like a glove and is very comfortable."
"Andy was quick to recognise the problems in my exisiting saddle and flocked it accordingly. Jack (and his rider!) immediately went better. Andy's advice has been second to none when looking for a new dressage saddle - can't wait to see the new creation. I know Jack will feel better for it!"
"Great Job! Altered my wide fitting saddle to medium-wide to fit my pony while we are waiting for the new saddle, Love the story about the old dear who used to teach him to ride!. He gave me a vision of an animated woman cantering around the menage. The stories were worth the money, never mind the saddle fit! looking forward to seeing him soon, would recommend you to anyone!. Good to get sound advice."
"Great service, adapted my old saddle to fit my mare better whilst the new saddle was being made. Brilliant product, great service and so nice to see a nice smiley face who enjoys a good horsey chin wag. Would recommened to anyone at a drop of a hat!!"
"Just a quick note to say that I had a lesson with Sue Lee the day after I saw you. Was the first time that I jumped 'Lacey' with the new saddle and she was so different and jumped much wider, free-er and higher!!! Thanks ever so much for you time and service."
"Thanks very much! The saddle is great, feels like a new saddle! Mare very happy also (apart from cough). I will keep an eye as per your instructions and will call you when balance changes."
"Andy was brilliant! He could have quite easily told me my saddle didn't fit, but he told me that although it was old and 'interesting' it fitted my horse and just needed a bit of re-flocking which he did on site, and then re-fitted it to my horse. I have noticed a significant difference in Mich's way of going - thank you very much!"
"I couldn't recommend Andy highly enough! I am so impressed by his dedication and his service. It's the best value for money that I've ever known in the equine industry. My horse is happy and I'm happy. He really took the time to discuss the task in hand and was a pleasure to meet. I will be booking Andy next time without question. Thank you so much!"
"Second time to flock and first time to refit but very beautifully done and all saddles fitting without the need for pads. Thank you."
"I met Andy when I bought a new horse and needed kit to go with it. Since then, Andy has ended up doing my mates horses as well and we all think he's fab as he takes time to get the saddle fitting right, knows what he's doing and won't fleece us either!"
"My many thanks to you Andy. The saddles great, brilliant service."
"I can't recommend Andy highly enough, Paddy is the fussiest and sharpest youngster we have ever bred, I had one saddle fitted by someone else and he began bucking violently when hacking, Andy came out, had a look at the other saddles I had in my tack room and promptly refused to sell me a new one and flocked up and existing one - Paddy has never worked better! As he changed shape into summer he became a little fussy when tacking up, I got Andy straight out (he came up the very next day) he re balanced the saddle with flocking and he returned to his best behaviour."
"Knowledgeable service, Andy was right, I felt an immediate difference from short and choppy and reluctance to striding out and forward going freely. Fantastic result thanks a million."
