Judy Mcarthur, a level 2 saddle fitter, has offered to come to our rally day and give a talk and demonstration on correct saddle fitting commencing at 12:00pm.
 
As a special offer to all Brumby members on the day, she will be available to do an individual saddle fit and adjustment on your own horse.

Judy will be available on the day for individual fittings, and anyone wanting to take up this special offer needs to make a booking with me.
