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.

Typically fits:

This saddle typically works on horses with a shorter back profile and uphill wither.
It features two girth straps that can be used in the five different girth slots to help achieve a better fit.
This saddle has wool-flocked panels, so your fitter can make minor adjustments to the flocking to get the best fit for your horse.
This saddle includes the innovative Fairfax Performance Panel, proven to improve limb extension, joint movement, and evenness of stride. The panel design reduces pressure on the horse’s shoulder by separating the weight under the seat from the area over the shoulder, allowing freer movement—especially helpful for horses with large or active shoulders.
It also features an adjustable gullet tree, so the width can easily be altered by swapping out the gullet bars.

Please note the below features of this model are as standard from new.

Excellent condition. There is just a very light crease mark on the seat.

This saddle is classed as GRADE 5: Used saddle. Average condition. Showing obvious signs of use and wear. Will likely include scuffs/marks/discolouration as highlighted in photos.

Developed to maximise synchronicity between riders and horses with an 'uphill' conformation. This dressage saddle allows the rider to feel more balanced and 'at one' with their horse. The horse is able to move freely and improve his performance, thanks to a combination of the patented Fairfax Performance Panel and the rider's improved position.

The design means that the knee has room to function effectively, allowing the rider's body to absorb the force of the horse's movement and allowing the pelvis to remain in a neutral position for longer. Deep rear, and slim front, gussets to provide a perfectly balanced platform for the rider on a horse with 'uphill' conformation. This saddle was designed and tested using pressure mapping and gait analysis. It is the first saddle to be tested using Pliance Pressure mats under the rider's seat and under the saddle simultaneously, in conjunction with three-dimensional and two-dimensional analysis of horse and rider.

The World Class is a high end, quality dressage saddle, suitable for everyday use and competing.

*6 month soundness warranty is provided on all second hand saddles. Saddles are sold sound, and we expect a saddle with an average amount of use to have many years of use. Warranty is only valid on saddles which have been well cared for, and maintained by the purchaser, and does not include accidental damage, fire, or theft. Any alterations made by a saddle fitter or owner will deem the warranty invalid as the person who has made such changes is responsible for the safety of the saddle.
**Guaranteed buy back price is offered on all saddles within 9 months of the original purchase date. The price offered is 20% less the purchase price of second hand saddles, and 35% less the purchase price of new saddles. The guaranteed buy back price is also condition dependent, and the saddle must be in a comparable condition to guarantee the price. The Guaranteed buy back price is only available to UK mainland clients.
