Demos
If you are looking to try a Wow saddle for the first time, I can come and visit you and your horse with a selection of demo kit for you to try. We'll have a conversation first about the kind of saddle you are looking for, so I can bring a selection of different styles of seats, flaps and panels to work out what will suit you and your horse.
If you are looking to buy new, we can then place an order together once you have decided on all the finishing touches available - a simple cantle plate design, perhaps coloured or patent trim, or even embossed, patterned leather - there are so many choices and combinations available.
If you are looking to buy second hand, I may have a selection of second hand saddles available, or I will leave you with a list of the parts you need so that you can source them yourself if you prefer.
Measuring your horse for a Wow saddle
Using the saddle gauge, we can essentially build a skeleton of the saddle to make sure that everything is in balance. We can check the width, the panel type, and the tree curvature - and the balance in the centre of the gauge can show us that we are level. This handy tool can take away a lot of the subjectiveness in saddle fitting, so it is easy for everyone to see how the saddle will fit.
Appointments
Please contact me if you are looking for a fitter to maintain your Wow saddle. It's recommended that your saddle is checked every six months. I will check all the screws and fixings, the fit of the saddle (including the head plate) and check the balance of your saddle using the Wow Saddle Gauge. I will also take photographs of your horse's back, shoulders and conformation to keep a record of any changes in shape. We will re-balance the Flair in the panels during a ridden assessment, and I will send a full report of the fitting to you for your records.
