Saddles on, saddles off......

Been quiet the last few days, not ridden after deciding that I really had to be sure that my saddles were fitting correctly.
I made the appointment and the saddle fitter came out today and we spent a good few hours with Remy and Bonbon, fitting, flocking and changing gullets.
I'd warned Jim that I may need a new saddle for Remy, but we tried the Bates Isabell on him, and, after a couple of gullet changes to get the best possible result, the saddle fitter was really happy with it.
Bonbon proved easy to fit. Corky's dressage saddle was pretty good on her, it just needed to be a little softer on the front panel, which was sorted with some new wool. We tried my other two saddles on her too, an Albion GP and a Bates, aussi stock saddle. The gp was a good fit, and after changing the gullet on the stock saddle, that was a good fit too. I'll probably never use them unless I decide to do some jumping (not very likely) or she starts throwing herself around, in which case the poleys on the stock saddle will be perfect for holding me in LOL.
I was so proud of my babies, they were so patient and well behaved through the whole process, saddles on, saddles off, me on, off etc. I expected it from Remy -  Bonbon can be a little bit impatient, but she took it all in her stride.
Jim's happy too as he doesn't have to dust his wallet off, he was pretty worried after I told him the price of a new saddle!
I wasn't at my best as we'd attended the village 'do' yesterday which was an afternoon of eating and drinking, and drinking, and........... we had a great time, I haven't laughed so much in ages!
