  1. It is nice to know where some of these folks are, just for the sake of knowing where to turn for second opinions or someone local to go to for information or advice...

    Not enough of you around!

  2. Thanks for sharing this list! I was hoping you might have heard of a reputable saddle fitter (no certification necessary) in Ohio - preferably Columbus, Ohio. If so, would you mind passing along that information?

    Thanks!

  3. PR, you might try Katie Gussenhoffen 724-462-4209 /katguss@access995.com; she's a County rep (or was) but works on other saddles. Cyndi Parks, Michigan, OH, & Chicago, IL friesianlady@hotmail.com 231- 233-0764; she's on the Borné rep list but may work on others. If you don't have any luck, let me know, and I'll see if I can find someone else!

  6. I hate to have to ask (I couldn't find another way to get a hold of you) But I really need a saddle fitter for my warmblood but I live in north eastern MS, literally no saddle fitters are out here that I or my trainer can find. I was wondering if maybe you had any ideas? If you know anything that would be so helpful thank you so much!!

  7. Sarah, I don't know of anyone in MS, but here are a few in surrounding states who might travel/cover your area: Catherine Overstreet in Jacksonville, AL: 404/518-0306; Amanda Smith, Crossville, TN: 865/660-9138, and Kate Wooten, Maryville, TN: 865/207-4340. If they don't cover your area, they may know someone who does. If you don't have any luck, please let me know, and I'll network to find someone.
