Re: [RC] Re-stuffing saddles - Kathy Mayeda

There are saddle flockers on the West Coast, but their results are rather mixed. I too have saddles that don't need stuffing, and I don't ever want to be at the mercy of someone's schedule for something like that.

I have a Reactor Panel saddle and have been quite pleased with it through the years. I also have a couple of cheapies - ones an Abetta endurance saddle with Western style tree and skirting, and the other is a Thorowgood Griffin that plain doesn't have re-stuff capabilities.

I know dressage people that have their saddles re-stuffed all the time. If I ever do dressage competition (doubtful!) I would get another RP.

Never! For a lot of reasons: my saddles don't need it and that's partly because I don't know of a saddle flocker on the entire west coast.
I'm curious to know what kind of saddle you have to would need that kind of attention that often. English saddles (& maybe some Australian) are the only ones that need it and many of them are flocked/stuffed with foam that, theoretically, never needs attention. The days of frequent visits by the saddler are long gone in this country as far as I know.

I had to have my saddle re-stuffed this last week. The gentlman who did the work recommended re-fitting twice a year. I was wondering how often people have the saddle fitter out??
