I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place but as soon as i get a job and got the money together I want to get someone (s) out to give Red a total checkover. He's only ridden once a week (if that :o ) because of the weather and my school work etc, but as soon as the nights lighten he's going on an every day fitness regime but i want to make sure everything's 100% before I start.

I probably sound really stupid but I'm not quite sure where to start looking, or how as a matter of fact....and how do I approach them etc?

Thanks, any advice appreciated! Also recommendations xx

so far shes had dentist (£20), back (£40) and will be having a saddler (£25) best money ive ever spent on her!

Thanks, I suppose this is where Red makes me overcome another fear - talking to people on the phone! What time spans etc did the money you paid involve? If you dont' mind me asking?! xx

I'm at the point of checking amba over shes had the teeth checked i think the price would region between 25-35 but vet did a brilliant job and amba's alot more pleased. Well she looks it at least :D

Amba had the saddler check her out about 2 months ago to check her saddle which was a narrow and gave us a brand new one. The saddle check cost around 30.00 the saddle however 750.00 including exchange.

The back person is someone i have yet to find and with great difficulty although i may have someone, but getting in touch is proving difficult i would estimate the same as rach and say 40.00 - 50.00

Worth every penny!!!!!

Read your last question
Nov - saddle
Jan - Teeth
Back - Hoping Jan as well

Thankyou so much Rach and Kirstie! :) I shall definitely have to get the money sorted as soon as I can....when Red got his saddle it was a made-to-fit one and he hasn't changed shape much so hoping it wont be as bad/

One last question:(unless I think of anymore), what exactly do i ask for when talking on the phone? Like what kind of service etc...? Sorry :o
