It gives me far more confidence in your advice than I have with company specific reps who seem to want to sell me whatever saddle they have on hand with the least time and effort possible.<br /><br />When it comes to data in scientific research we have a saying, "Garbage in = Garbage out."The Harmless Dilettantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06847738741719566328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8315761897298237483.post-78244811313258658252009-09-16T23:51:16.776-04:002009-09-16T23:51:16.776-04:00*wiping tears of laughter from eyes*
oh my. There...*wiping tears of laughter from eyes*<br />oh my. There are times it must be quite difficult to answer earnestly and nicely.<br /><br />As for hoops, um, yeah, I would happily jump through a billion hoops to get the right fit...that's just nuts, the saddle fitter wants TOO MUCH information???<br /><br />I would feel like a fitter asking for precisely detailed information was extremely caring and competent, and invested in doing an excellent job for *my* needs.

Most of our customers want to do whatever it takes to find the right saddle, but when we do get queries such as the ones I mentioned, it's always good for a chuckle - and in most cases, we're able to educate the customer, too.saddlefitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18340539191435086835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8315761897298237483.post-56545703865757223712009-09-13T21:40:35.325-04:002009-09-13T21:40:35.325-04:00Kitt: that just made me feel a whole lot better ab...Kitt: that just made me feel a whole lot better about work... sorry it has to happen to you.<br /><br />I just started riding again the last year or so, virtually all gaited horses, and primarily for handling dogs in field trials.

All you can do is what you already do - try to educate the best you can, but rest assured you are doing a fantastic job for the *reasonable* people you work with. Your attention to detail and willingness to examine tracings and photos (and descriptions...LONG e-mailed descriptions =) ) was the reason I found a saddle that fits my horse. (The first I'd EVER found, by the way, and I'd tried many) Just let the rest roll off your back - you're doing just fine!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976172379331227774noreply@blogger.com
