I would use a different saddler. You will know yourself that Chelle isnt too big, its jsut a case of finding a make of saddle that will accomodate her leg. There are definately ones out there, though as a short person i can't help with what! But if shes tall, it wont be her seat thats the problem but her leg so it shouldnt be an unsurmountable problem,
Poor Bertie, i hope he is ok soon - saddles are a nightmare! I have had loads of issues with Gus and now he's a slim jim i'm having to buy another saddle (last one was XW, this will be a MW!) It seems that the Ideals suit him and a lot of other Arabs too, so might be soemthing to look out for |

I would also walk away and try someone else. It just sounds like she's got her mind set on what the problem is and you could end up going round in circles with her. Also there's no saying she will have anything that will fit better. Someone else might have different makes of saddles to try?
Hope it works out ok

Walk away with your money back
Have you thought about a Free n Easy as I have 2 for endurance - one is a GP and they also do jumping as well as endurance saddles.
My 2 - I bought 1 new (v expensive), but I bought a second and one for £420. Whether you buy a new one or one off ebay, Les Sparks who makes them will come out and fit. He is based in County Durham, but fits us all the way down in Hampshire too. |

I have an English Saddle Company saddle for my welsh x Arab. This fits her really well and I've had no problems with it. But she is much more of an off the peg fit than my Arab. It doesn't fit my Arab at all but then they are completely different shapes and sizes.  |
