I’m in desperate need of an independent saddle fitter that will come to central Alabama. All the fitters I’ve found in my area are affiliated with Custom Saddlery, and I am so done with Customs.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Catherine Overstreet, she’s in Jacksonville, AL. I think. You can find her on FB. Do not be put off by her passion for building western saddles now 
she’s deeply knowledgeable and very nice.

First Equine (as I understand one of the DVMs does saddle fittings) out of Mobile AL. I dunno how far North they go.
She’s a rep for Custom Saddelry, or was. I have seen many people buy ill fitting saddles from her.
I’m sorry to hear that. I’ve had good experiences with her. Best of luck to you.
Following, I’m in N AL and would like to find a good independent saddle fitter. Seems like everyone is a brand rep now, and not that interested in fitting saddles that aren’t their brand.
Lacey Halstead in the Atlanta area is an independent fitter with a ton of references, I know she travels a bit, I’m not sure if she travels that far, but I imagine that if there were more than a few people set up, something could be arranged. Whole Horse Saddle Fitting on face book
