MASTER SADDLE FITTING
With Lauren Coxhead SMS MSF MSFC
FOR THOSE WHO NEED THE BEST!
Being a Master Saddle Fitter is about fitting thousands of horses and riders - It's about knowing the in's and out's of all saddles - It's about understanding what the horse needs and then combining years of knowledge to match the horse, the rider and the saddle in harmony!
Lauren Coxhead is by far the highest qualified saddle fitter in Ireland holding not one but two 'Master' qualifications including the much coveted Society of Master Saddlers SMS MSF, a feat only a very few fitters have managed to achieve globally.
Lauren's fastidious and honest approach is fully appreciated by all from first time riders to Elite level professionals and Olympic riders alike.
Our full consultations are for those who wish to benefit from correct saddle fitting results first time and for those who appreciate the need for ongoing saddle fit, maintenance, support and service.
Only 'NEW' saddles from our extensive range are considered for fitting consultations. 'USED' saddles may be offered where they provide a better solution than a new saddle.
All consultations will be conducted by Lauren Coxhead SMS MSF MSFC.
Our service is Nationwide whereby Lauren will come to you no matter where you are in Ireland including N.Ireland.
