Saddle Fitting-Terms of Service

What to expect:
At our appointment I will examine and do a tracing of your horse’s back and adjust your current Custom saddle. If shopping for a new saddle I will recommend one or more tree types that would best fit your horse’s shape. We will then explore a variety of seats, panels, flaps and leg rolls in those tree types that best fit you, the rider.

This process allows the most precise saddle fit for you and your equine partner for comfort and performance. My goal is to ensure that the saddle is properly fitted to both horse and rider so that they may experience freedom from restrictions, balance in riding, and harmony.

Cancellation and rescheduling of appointments: I ask for consideration when canceling appointments. I will do everything I can to not miss an appointment with you. We will work around medical and family emergencies and severe/dangerous weather. I will confirm our appointment with you a few days prior. If something changes please let me know asap by text message or phone call. If you do not cancel within 24 hours of appointment time there may be a late cancellation charge.

Payment is due at the time of service.

There are NO REFUNDS.
