Saddlers make and repair saddles, bridles, girths and other tack, and saddle fitters travel from yard to yard checking and adjusting saddles as horses change shape. A fitting visit is usually paid on the day, repairs are paid on collection, and a made-to-measure saddle often needs a deposit. Many fitters also sell new and second-hand saddles. A payments app that takes payment on the yard, sends deposit links and handles repair payments can win these trades, and every horse owner who pays sees your app.

Take payment on the yard
Card and phone payments at the end of a fitting visit mean no invoice to chase, even when the fitter sees several owners at one yard.

Send deposit links for made-to-measure work
A payment link for the deposit lets the saddler order materials and start work, and a second link gets the balance paid when the saddle is fitted.
Grow through yards and horse trades
Saddlers and fitters work at the same yards as farriers and riding instructors. One fitter on your app can bring the horse trades around them.
