Equine Saddle Fit is a small company with limited spaces. So that appointments are given to those that are genuinely after a saddle fit, a deposit is required and a booking fee & cancellation fee policy will be sent to you before your booking is confirmed, which may be non-refundable.

Fittings generally take between 60 and 90 minutes.  Test rides in new or used saddles will generally take between 90 and 120 minutes.  

Please make sure your horse is in from the paddock, reasonably clean, unsaddled with all tack is out ready to be ridden.  Riders should be ready to ride. If you need to give your horse a quick lunge before you get on, that is absolutely fine.
