Delighted with my new saddle

My saddler found the saddle on the saddle bank website and recommended I try it. I bought it and arranged the saddle to be delivered for the 5 day trial when my saddler was available to check the fit. The saddle was in great condition and fits perfectly.

Fab Service!

I was very skeptical when i first got the facebook message but can honestly say thus has been one of the easiest transactions Ive experienced. Everything was easy from the quote to the pick up to the payment. I would wholeheartedly recommend the Saddlebank! Thanks team. Great customer service x

I bought a saddle from The Saddle Bank which was exactly as described - very pleased! so decided to sell my jump saddle that didn't fit my new boy. Again it was straight forward and took all the pressure off trying to sell it independently. Perfect. Thank you.

Possibly the most straightforward way I’ve ever saved money

This is now my third purchase from the saddle bank and it honestly never gets harder. It is my go to option when buying and selling a saddle. I sent over some photos and a description of my current saddle to get a quote and let the team know I’d like to part exchange for another they had listed. I got the quote back within an hour on a Friday and by the following Wednesday my new saddle had arrived. The quote was competitive and the process was simple. I love my new saddle. A special thank you Adi for all your help 😁

I didn’t realise selling a saddle could be so easy! Super quick communication and very easy service to use. I was paid quickly and without complications, so I’ll definitely be selling this route again!

Brilliant

I honestly cannot recommend Saddle Bank highly enough. From start to finish, the service has been absolutely fantastic. I had several questions along the way and rang them a number of times, and they couldn’t have been more helpful, friendly or accommodating. They even extended my trial period to work around the date my saddle fitter was coming, which I really appreciated. The saddle arrived beautifully packaged, and the condition was exactly as described. I purchased a Fairfax GP saddle, and it was in lovely condition, just as advertised. What really stood out was the aftercare and follow-up from Saddle Bank. The service didn’t stop once the saddle had arrived; they genuinely wanted to make sure everything was right. A brilliant company to deal with, with excellent customer service from beginning to end. I would 100% recommend them and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

Easy simple service

Sold a saddle here recently and will be looking for some to trial soon. Process was straightforward and simple to do, fair price given and quick turnaround Would recommend!

How the trial works

Saddles are permitted on a 5 day UK mainland trial. Simply add the saddle to your basket and proceed to check out. The trial starts on the day you receive the saddle.
Full payment is taken for the saddle at the point of check out. If the saddle fits – great! No further action required.

Is your fitter not coming until next week? No problem!
Select your delivery date at check out. Please note we recommend having the saddle delivered 2 working days before your saddle fitting appointment in case of any unexpected delays with the courier.

Sadly we are not able to offer a trial internationally at present. However, most of our international clients still find it cheaper to import a quality saddle from UK than to source one in their own country.
