"Alice was wonderful to work with! She took the time to help me find the perfect saddle that fit both me and my horse - and from over 1000 miles away. I recommend her to anyone who needs to find a saddle that truly fits."
-Elisha Trombley
"Alice did an outstanding job of fitting a new County saddle for my horse Arte. Arte is quite narrow, so it took a custom fit, and several adjustments. Alice took a lot of time with us, and even checked Arte's back after a day in the show ring....just to make sure that he was comfortable. My horse loves to jump, and yet he has never been sore or anxious about being saddled....all because Alice took the time to make sure he had the proper fit. I highly recommend Alice to anyone who has a concern about proper saddle fit"
I have two upper level dressage horses with especially sensitive backs, who tighten, become stiff and uncomfortable to ride if their saddles are not to their liking. After trying many, many different makes of saddles over many years, I have found that County Perfection saddles have made a world of difference for both my horses and me. They are able to relax and go to work much more quickly, with virtually none of the resistances I used to encounter, and I am far less fatigued in my lower back, hips and knees! At 60, and still riding on average 4 horses per day, this is an immeasurable help, and will, I am sure, extend my productive riding and training years.

Te Amo our Dutch Warmblood had outgrown his saddle. He had just went through a growth spurt and now his old saddle was making his back sore. Cynthia Moore our trainer called Alice to our barn. After measuring and trying a few different County saddles on him, we decided the Innovation was the best fit for him and our daughter Kirby. Alice walked and talked us through the whole process. There was never a doubt that Alice is a professional saddle fitter. We have owned our County saddle for over a year now. Alice has become our friend. "We call her part of our team. Mo's comfortable saddle has been a huge part of his success. He was named CHJA Horse of the Year for 2008!"
My mare was always very tense in her back under saddle, and she tested unsound in her hocks and her front hooves. Purchasing a County Connection from Alice Kremers was a key element in a multi-part strategy to get her sound and relaxed. Alice had to make major adjustments to the flocking to get the saddle to correctly fit my mare's odd-shaped back, but now that she has a saddle that
fits correctly, in eight months Gracie has gone from unsound to schooling second-level dressage movements. Her trot is completely different, and her work ethic is excellent. - Joan Beardslee, Colorado Springs, Colorado
