Price to be determined for clinics and locations further than 1 hour from Camden SC.
I try to keep travel fees to a minimum but please understand the necessity of this with time and gas prices!
If you can trailer to Camden I try to extend a discounted rate. This of course depends on how long the appointment takes.

PROCEDURE FOR FITTING A SADDLE:
NO DOGS ALLOWED
WHEN TRAILERING IN!
Be prepared to ride!
1...Have horse ready and clean
2...History (client, horse and saddle)
3...Symmetry and palpation evaluation
4...Movement evaluation

Fitting of each saddle, tracings, suggestions:
$85.00 (if purchasing saddles, this fee includes looking at a few. $85.00 per hour after initial hour).
Realize that nothing can be done for a foam saddle that doesn't fit properly except a possible conversion
or suggestions of pads – full fee still applies.
On Site Flocking:
$85.00
This fee applies for flocking to saddle. In the event that a saddle is flocked to fit the horse without the rider
present to participate in fitting and movement evaluation portion of the fitting,
Saddleguy assumes no responsibility in the event that the saddle is not fit properly.
It is imperative that the horse and rider be observed in motion to insure the
best fit.
