ABout Elite Saddle Fit
Qualifications, Experience, Morality, Ethics and Integrity are just some of the words that Georgie Welge prides herself on following.
Georgie is first and foremost a horse lover. On top of that, she is one of the most highly qualified saddle fitters in the world. With a selection of saddles from a multitude of suppliers, she is not a sales rep nor a brand ambassador. In fact Elite has access to some of the most beautiful top quality saddles available on the market, offering a huge choice to ensure that riders get the saddle both their horse and themselves need.
She was the first to have achieved four certifications in saddle fitting from three different countries and has quite literally travelled the globe to soak up knowledge on the subject.
Not only is Georgie a full-time saddle fitter, she is also the CEO of Master Saddle Fitters International, a global organization that specialises in supporting saddle fitters, along with championing the pursuit of knowledge around saddle fitting, riding and horse care.
Georgie is extremely proud that she has earnt the opportunity of a placement as a lecturer at two equine colleges and universities in the UK, with further lectures and clinics happening in many venues around the world. In addition, she is also a regular contributor to the Horse and Rider Magazine offering answers to help them with horse, saddle and rider issues.

ExcellentBased on 37 reviewsrecommendsBridget Colston11 February 2023Can’t recommend highly enough. Georgie is super knowledgeable, but also just lovely to work with- easy to communicate with, doesn’t make you feel judged and very accommodating of my limited budget.recommendsSamantha Sewell Clements25 May 2022Had a saddle fitting today. Georgie was brilliant, lots of great help & knowledge. Bought a dressage saddle, very excited to ride in it & maybe even compete. Thank you 🙏recommendsCourtney Rogers18 December 2021Thank you Georgie for finding me the perfect saddle that fits me and my horse!! Georgie doesn’t just fit a saddle to a horse.. We spent nearly an hour looking at my horses conformation, his muscle symmetry, weak areas, measured him and I explained how he moved before we even looked at a saddle. I got to try lots of different saddles & trees and Georgie explained why certain saddles worked and why they didn’t and always asked me how I felt and if I was comfortable. I never at any point felt pressured into buying a saddle (not that I took any persuading when I sat in my new saddle) and I felt so confident that is was the right one! Georgie is so knowledgeable & honest not just with saddle fitting but the biomechanics of the horse. I was amazed after riding in my new saddle for 20 mins and having her on the floor giving me some helpful tips at how much my horses movement changed & how much my previous saddle had effected my position. You can tell Georgie does this job to educate and help horses and there riders. I highly recommend & won’t be using anyone else for my saddles in the future. I love my new saddle.. it’s lovely to not have back ache after riding!! Thank you so much for helping me!recommendsHayley Hill3 November 2021Thank you Georgie for visiting us at the NHRM this morning definitely live up to all the great reviews 🧡recommendsJulia Clayson3 July 2021Georgie is super friendly, professional and knowledgeable, and an all-round amazing horsewoman ☺️ I had Georgie out as my mare seemed unhappy when tacking up and wouldn’t stand at the block, meaning it was taking me at least 10 minutes to get on. Georgie didn’t only sort out my saddle (moving the girth straps around and all sorts!) but also assessed Fanta’s physiology and explained her asymmetries and muscle tone to me, and how that might affect the saddle fit. It turns out my saddle wasn’t properly supporting my weight, and I’d been putting it on in the wrong position - all sorted now, of course! I felt an instant difference in Fanta after Georgie sorted out the saddle, with me feeling more secure and her being able to properly use her shoulders. Even more amazingly, Georgie spent a long time working with Fanta to get her to stand at the block. I look forward to trying out the technique over my next few rides! She also gave me a lesson, in which Fanta went the best she has in ages 🥰 she really goes above and beyond and I felt like she was genuinely interested in helping us! I highly, highly recommend Georgie. I’ve been feeling so down as I thought something was wrong with Fanta, but I’m feeling so much more positive now. Thank you so much Georgie!recommendsHelen Mchale22 April 2021Georgie came out to fit a saddle to my new horse .I would highly recommend her ,very knowledgeable,friendly and patient .Made me feel at ease as only just had my horse for a week and felt a bit nervous riding him .Georgie gave my tips for my riding style which really helped and guidance for my youngster with his ongoing education .Thank you so much 🙏😊recommendsSally Hardwick24 March 2021Georgie is an expert saddle fitter.
