 I became an certified saddle fitter because when I was training horses, many of the client horses were being inhibited by their less than optimal saddle fit and I wanted to be able to help them fully. Because I have a background in anatomy and biomechanics, and functional experience in a variety of disciplines from eventing, classical dressage, working western, mounted archery and garrocha, you aren't getting the average saddle fitting experience either. 

Every step of the way in your saddle fitting experience I will explain the aspects of fit, and any challenges in your current saddle. I love to educate, so please ask questions! If your saddle cannot be made to fit, or has damage or design flaws, I will let you see and feel what it is I am finding so that you feel comfortable with the information provided. Our fiduciary duty is always to your horse's well being while being mindful of your wallet and transparent and honest communication is the only way we do business. 

Tack Shopping? We offer a wide variety of innovative products for every discipline with new inventory weekly! We are a Mobile Tack Store that Comes to YOU!!!

Not everyone has made big tack purchases in the last decade, we get it, and a LOT has changed! If you are saddle shopping, we recommend a budget of $3000-5000 as we have found this offers maximized value without compromising fit, and in many cases the option to customize for a personalized touch. 
Below that, your fitting options get increasingly more limited and you or your horse will be compromising. Above that is where most of the trendy, big named brands reside these days, so be prepared to spend $6000-12000 if that's what you're after. They will have brand exclusive reps and typically don't sell their products through independent fitters such as YEF.  
Used saddles are not the easily trusted solutions they once were either. Your Expert Fitter does not actually stock or take in used saddles because of some changing trends in how trees are being treated by different reps and some fitters. If you'd like to learn more about the dangers of used saddles, you can read this article from our facebook page
