I understand the skepticism over the effectiveness of my online services. Many people have received wrong or uneffective advice and/or corrections from previous saddle fitting experiences before discovering me. Therefore, you have serious doubt I can assist you online because of what others couldn't do in person.

This $250.00 is the premium level of online saddle fitting service when the horse cannot be fitted in person by a qualified local saddle fitter.
This service involves quite extensive involvement from the owner and an assistent will be needed.
The steps on the form, including pictures and measurements, will need to be completed and uploaded to a private Facebook group page that you create and invite me to the page after its created or mention my name in a comment box on the page so I can find it to view your uploaded pictures and measurements. This way I can comment on each picture individually. This is the most effective method for this service.
If you are not a FB member then you will need to email all of it to me. I need your contact information to be legible because this service will involve phone calls and text messages so that I can receive your pictures while you are with your horse and we can discuss them in real time. This allows for less trips to the barn because a picture isn't quite right and needs to be retaken.
You will be taught to visually detect areas of interferrance as well as how to feel under your saddle for interferrance and acceptable and unacceptable pressure.
This is the most difficult portion of the fitting process and it is substantially less frustrating for everyone when you have an assistent. You will need to feel under the saddle with the horse in motion so if you are unable to keep up with your horse walking, then your assistant will be required to perform this step for you.
This process can be quite lengthy dependant upon many factors.
The primary factor being how well you and I understand each others descriptions of what you are feeling and what I describe it is that I need.
This is why there is no time limit set on this consult as there is with the Limited Consult service.
I assure you it will be worth your time and money.
You already know it will be difficult because others have tried and failed or you wouldn't consider this as an option in the 1st place. But you are desparate to help your horse and rightfully so! Because to ignore the issues or delay finding a solution can be costly and have severe consquences for both you and your horse.
So bear with this process with patience. Keep your mind open to receive my instructions without malice or skepticism. This insures the success of your saddle fit.
This service is highly successful across the Nation where there are no qualified saddle fitters in your local area.
It is a rewarding experience that can save you thousands in uneccsary expenses such as the merry go round of purchasing and reselling multiple saddles and pads, repeated veterinary, chiropracter and Equine body specialist appointments needed to keep your horse pain free.
You are tired of it and frustrated and just want to ride your horse and not worry about any of it any longer! Right?
Well, I'm going to help you get back to enjoying your horse!
For those of you desiring a new saddle built on a custom saddle tree that fits your horse, please add an additional $40.00 to assist with the shipping cost of the fitting forms & saddle trees that you will need to place on your horse and take pictures and video to submitt so that I can select the correct saddle tree to build your saddle on.
The return shipping will be at your expense.
I do fit the moving horse so you will be required to walk along side your horse at a brisk walk while holding the tree in place on the horses back.
This might be where a young and physically fit assistant will be beneficial~especially if you own a gaited horse!
