Re: RC: Re: Comfort saddle search

[Celeste Comfort <cccomfort@yahoo.com>]

When I spoke to Ms. Saare on the phone
she was so very nice, then referred me
to her rep.  Her rep. was the one I couldn't
understand.(He was very nice to) I came away feeling
like I had just come from a car dealership.  I never
said I had a problem with paying for him to fit my
horse,in fact before all this flaming, I was going to
make an appointment with him to do the fitting.  He
told me that he charged $40.00 for the fitting, and
that if I bought a new saddle, that the cost would be
applied to it. That sounded o.k. with me. I honestly
did not know that the fittings were reserved for only
new saddle buyers. I apologize for any
misunderstandings. I never ment to get everyone so
upset.  I just didn't understand how the sizing of the
saddles went.  That's why I posted for help on
ridecamp. I was only trying to fit a used sharon saare
saddle to our horse. Right now I feeling like a second
class saddle buyer because I can't afford a new one. 
I honestly was just trying to do the best thing for
our horse with what we had.  Again I apologize to
everyone for the misunderstanding, and I'll stop
asking questions and just use my eyes.
