  Mia W. asked:

  Buying my first horse (16hh warmblood) very soon which doesn't come with anything, I was wondering how much I should spend on tack etc. Advice please, would you recommend buying second hand or it's worth paying the money for a new one? Good saddle brands? Want something comfy but nothing too extravagant? (GP saddle, for an allrounder , competing is only at a low level) thanks!!

  Jessica S. asked:

  You all were so tremendously helpful when I last posted about saddle fit issues, and I am really looking forward to exploring your suggestions and getting a better saddle for Boden and me. That being said, can anyone recommend a good saddle fitter in or around Montgomery County, Maryland? And how much can I expect to pay? Any and all referrals are appreciated! I am military so funds are always a tad limited...thank you!

  

  Emily P. replied:

  Hi Jessica. The best saddle fitters you can find have qualified with the Society of Master Saddlers in the UK. They have to go through years of training and assessment, and really have to know saddles and saddle fit inside out. To find one in your area go to the SMS website: http://www.mastersaddlers.co.uk/. Then click on "Find SMS Member" and then "Overseas Members". To see their location is a bit of a pain but you have to click the "Detail" tab next to each one. See if you spot a location near to you.

  Amy H. asked:

  Hi. Does anyone know of any good saddle fitters that bring new and used saddles to your yard? Located near Fakenham. Thanks

  

  Hazel H. replied:

  Mill saddlery - not sure if they would come out that far, but feel Liz is genuinely knowledgable and knows what she's doing. Saddle fitters can be checked on this link, though everyone will have personal experiences and recommendations - so it serves to make yourself as knowledgable as you can. recently heard some slightly worrying stuff regarding what people can call themselves, without qualifications, so would advise a good ask round first :) http://www.mastersaddlers.co.uk
