Time to plan ahead and get your saddles/horses booked in before the season starts!
Important announcement 📢
As of the 1st of July 2025 my rates will increase. I haven't had an increase in several years as I understand how tough horse ownership is in the current economy, but for me to continue to provide my services the time has come.
Any appointments already booked in July will stay at the current pricing.
New rates will be as follows:
*$190 New client or existing client with a new horse, or test riding saddles. This covers a 2 hour time slot.
I keep a good stock of saddles, but if I need to have other saddles sent up for test rides I will be adding a courier charge which I will quote for ahead of time.
*$170 returning client/horse combination saddle recheck. This covers a 1.5 hour time slot.
*$140 follow up saddle fit for combinations seen within the past 2 months. This covers a 1 hour time slot.
➡️ The above charges do not include travel, wool and gullet fees.
-Wool is usually $10-$40 depending on how much your saddle requires.
-Interchangeable gullet plates are $70.
-Travel fees are usually $15-$35 depending on where you are, I aim to have a group of horses in the same area or at a venue on the same day to keep travel costs low.
➡️ I will be available from mid July on Saturdays for fittings at the Whangarei RDA indoor arena over winter. The arena fee is $30, but I will not charge a travel fee. I don't usually work weekends and using an indoor means we don't have to compete with the weather gods!
