I've had another fitter out last saturday. He was there for Crispin and another boarders horse. The guy was really good. Probably the best fitter I've seen so far, very knowledgeable and very devoted to his favourite brand of saddles: Sommer saddles (he only sells Sommer).
He was there for almost 4 hours mostly fitting the other horse and showing us every detail (it seems) of Sommer saddles (tree, panels, stuffing, you name it).
Unfortunately, he didn't have a single saddle with him that I could try on Crispin! Bummer. He had some saddles that had the right tree/iron (sommer calls it the WKE tree, the extra wide iron, it's like a hoop tree) and othes that had the right size for my butt and others again that had the righ panels for Crispins short, short back (the "Espitkissen"). But there was no saddle that combined all three: tree, panel, size. He has to put one together for us an will be back again.
Needless to say that I was very disappointed that day! After the saddle fitter was gone I was moping around at the barn and decided that I needed to do something nice with Crispin to lighten the mood. The weather was brilliant and so I started looking for a suitable horse and rider to acompany Crispin and I on our first trail ride at the new barn. Victoria and Flint were the lucky winners. They went with us on a very short but wonderful trail ride that saved my day. Thanks again!
(this is just a random picture I took that day. I think it's going to be one of my favourits)
