FAQs

  • As Matt is out and about at yards during the day, the best way to book is to message 07793371805 or to email mattcrippen@live.co.uk and he will get back to you as soon as he can.

    When messaging for an appointment please ensure you include the following details:

    • Name & location the fitting will take place

    • Appointment requirements

    • If you are looking to purchase a saddle then please include your rough budget & any saddles you wish to try.

    Matt will aim to respond within 48 hours but please be patient.

  • The SMS recommends saddles are checked at least twice a year to allow for seasonal changes which can affect the shape of your horse.

    For new saddles we suggest having these checked 3-4 months after purchase to allow the new flock to compress.

    If there are any changes with the horse or rider and you think that the saddle is no longer fitting correctly book in as soon as possible.
