Update! Today got a very snarky nasty “no” email from Leather In Motion, LLC, a particularly hilarious name for the overarching shadow company that purchased brand rights to CWD, Butet and Deavauxcoux. Why is the company name so hilarious to me? Because the CWD rep literally told me this in a text message when questioned about taking measurements:
“Now about providing measurements on everything saddle fitting session we offer I just want to say that we are actually very proud to work differently than some independent saddle fitters.
We respect the traditional way but we just decided to work differently. When you join CWD we learn everyday day, you see hundred, thousands of situations, you have access to a network of fitters and you have continue learning. It’s also a requirement to be a rider.
We designed sport saddles in the best interest for horses and riders. What matters the most to us is not the way the saddle sit on the back of the horse when horse is in the grooming stall. We care about what happens in motion.”
Pay attention to that last line. They don’t need to measure because they watch what happens “IN MOTION.” (waving magic hand gestures)
So, they are so cutting edge, so advanced that they don’t even need to measure! Phew, good to know. Well played.
