Follow-up fitting

Why use a fitting form
A calendar slot cannot tell you what stock, tools, or time a visit needs. Structured intake adds that scheduling context.
Required horse, rider, saddle, service, and location fields replace incomplete message threads.
Conditional sections give new clients a full intake and returning clients a shorter recheck path.
Send tagged submissions to one inbox or working sheet for review.
Built for fitting work
Choose a workflow, then edit services, travel area, questions, and preparation instructions.
Capture discipline, horse shape, rider needs, budget, and preferences.
Capture saddle identifiers, concerns, responses, sweat patterns, and recent changes.
Pair one location profile with separate horse-and-rider service records.
Record changes in condition, workload, rider, or saddle use.
Booking workflow
Turn your intake checklist into consistent requests you can review and schedule.
List fittings, adjustments, rechecks, yard visits, regions, and scheduling needs.
Add brands, disciplines, preparation, photo angles, service areas, and conditional questions.
Put the form on your site or send it directly to inquiries.
Review service, photos, horse history, route, and facilities before agreeing timing.
Form vs calendar vs messages
A useful booking connects availability to the horse, rider, saddle, service, and site.
Field guide
Six sections give fitters useful context and clients clear preparation guidance.
Rider details
Contact, proportions, experience, and discipline help frame the fitting request.
Horse profile
Include workload, body changes, owner-observed asymmetry, and handling needs.
Saddle information
Precise saddle identification and history make adjustment requests easier to review.
Photos & measurements
Specify photo angles and stance. Use images for preparation, not an in-person fit conclusion.
Service & timing
Collect several windows, then review travel and equipment needs before confirming.
Venue & preparation
Mobile fittings need safe access, suitable facilities, and a ready horse.

Practical answers for independent saddle fitters and fitting teams replacing scattered inquiry messages.
It connects a fitting request with rider contact, horse profile, saddle, service, photos, yard, facilities, and availability for review.
Ask for identity, height, workload, discipline, condition changes, behavior, sensitivities, and handling notes. Use structured choices plus space for context.
Yes, if useful to your process. Specify angles and stance, and treat photos as preparation material rather than a substitute for the appointment.
Yes. Collect location details once, then repeat horse, rider, saddle, service, and availability fields for each combination.
Yes. Conditional sections can show new clients a full history and returning clients a shorter changes-since-last-visit path.
Not necessarily. Label it a booking request, collect several windows, and review travel, service, and horse details before confirming.
Yes. Makeform is unlimited free for generating, editing, publishing, and collecting responses with your form. The paid tier removes the Makeform badge; it does not unlock extra submission volume.
Responses arrive in your Makeform inbox and can flow to Google Sheets, Slack, and Zapier for your review process.
