Saddle Fitting Services Clause

​

I understand that a horse may need the saddle refitted 2-3 times per year and that this saddle fitting does not replace any evaluation by my veterinarian for any condition. I understand that any measurements taken (if applicable) at this saddle fitting appointment will change with activity of the horse. Any measurements taken (if applicable) for the purpose of custom saddle-making does not make Liberty Saddlery, LLC responsible for the fit of the saddle once it has been made by the saddle maker. Liberty Saddlery, LLC typically deals with saddles already in existence -- not saddles that are going to be custom-made by a saddle maker. If applicable, any further issues with a custom-made saddle must be discussed with the saddle maker from this saddle fitting appointment onwards. None of these services are a substitute for proper veterinary care. Saddle fitters cannot take responsibility for the primary health care of client’s horses.
