After a few super hot days out fitting (with special thanks to Candice for being a trooper and helping me) I came home to the best news. I can now proudly say I have been awarded MASTER FITTER status with The Society of Master Saddlers. I do my best to work hard and offer a top service, because frankly, your wonderful horses and ponies deserve nothing less. Just want to say a big thank you to everyone who wrote references of recommendation for me, it means the world.
Off I go to stick on my new master fitter logo to the van!

Join live for a free webinar on straightness training

Hi guys! I'm running a free live webinar tomorrow at 7pm on why horses fall in/out (and how to actually fix it.)

Perfect if you just can’t master straightness and connection or you’re at the other end of the extreme and are having to ricochet of the arena fence when trying to turn! I’ll be going through the foundational theory of how to problem solve which trainers often miss during normal lessons!

I’d definitely recommend joining live, plus I’ll also be doing a Q&A at the end.

Here’s the link to book your free spot:

Abby and Sam (the boss) had a great time away in Walsall updating knowledge on new models at GFS, Albion and Ideal. Along with finalising the details of a secret new project 🤫

The fitters within our network are qualified with the Society of Master Saddlers and represent a selection of brands, not just Erreplus. Their recommendations are grounded in expertise, not exclusivity.

They assess how your horse moves under saddle, not just how the saddle sits when static. They evaluate muscle development patterns, identify asymmetries, and understand how training changes can affect fit over time.

Our fitter network undergoes regular continuing professional development with Erreplus, ensuring they remain at the forefront of saddle technology, biomechanics, and fitting principles. This is a professional partnership committed to your horse's comfort and your competitive success.

Ongoing support, unbiased guidance, and expert care.

Before becoming a saddle, bit and bridle fitter Abby gained a degree in Equine Studies. After this she completed a PGCE in education and taught equine and animal management at Merrist Wood Agricultural college.

In her free time Abby loves to be with her husband and 3 children playing with ponies and various other animals at their yard.
