Great experience

I was wary of buying a saddle online but the condition of the saddle was just as shown on the pictures and in person actually looked better. Great customer service from the team at the saddle bank and being able to choose your delivery day is great

Saddle in great condition - fast 3-day shipment to US

I was looking for a specific Kent & Masters dressage saddle and was referred to the Saddle Bank by a friend. I was able to find the saddle I needed, as I had borrowed the exact same saddle from a friend to make sure that it was a good fit for my horse. The transaction was easy. I was very surprised but excited that I received the saddle in 3 days - shipped to the US. The only couple things I noticed after receiving the saddle - knowing it is a used saddle, it was in great condition. The billets must've been replaced because they are shorter and the leather seems to be a cheaper quality as it is a little brittle and cracked after only using it a couple of times. Also, the little tabs that the stirrup leather ends are tucked trough have been replaced because it doesn't have the Kent & Masters original imprint on the tabs. Overall a saddle in great condition - it would've been good to have the details regarding billet length in the description.

Brilliant Service

Buying a saddle Online is always a risk as we know. However, there was lots of support offered by the saddle bank both verbally, electronically and sending additional photographs. I felt very confident in making the purchase based on my interactions with the company. The saddle turned out to be perfect, and there were some very nice touches when it was delivered. I would highly recommend the saddle bank, the customer service is excellent.

Excellent!

First time ever purchasing from the saddle bank. I’m in the US. My saddle was here in mere days, exactly as described. Easy and reliable.

Great service

I bought a saddle from the bank and tried it, sadly it didn’t fit me but they had a great returns process.

Monarch Gfs saddle

Just purchased a second hand Gfs Monarch saddle and it is like brand new! The saddle bank staff were so helpful, extending the trial as I had to purchase a wider gullet. Would definitely recommend buying a saddle from here, it was stress free and I'm delighted with my saddle.

Excellent service

I trialled two saddles. One was a really good fit and is a keeper, the other was returned. My refund was processed as soon as the saddle was back in the warehouse. Friendly, fast and lots of advice when asked for. Highly recommend the saddle bank.

Saddle Sale

I have sold a few saddles over the years in different ways, but this has been by far the easiest! My saddle was packaged and collected within 48 hours of agreeing to the quote, and the money was in my account the next day. Will use The Saddle Bank again when I next have a spare saddle. No stress or hassle whatsoever.

Expert service

I had a saddle that I wanted to sell on, I had been delaying the sale because all of the options to sell seemed to be very time consuming. The my friend pointed me to the saddle bank. What a surprise to find a straight forward and clear process. I haven’t looked back and would highly recommend to others. Clear instructions, quick response and absolute ease of use. Thank you

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.
