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

This service is just simply brilliant!! Very easy and paid for straight away
Sold a saddle it was so easy, simple and hassle free from posting saddle to receiving payment think it was 2/3 days at the most! Definitely recommend and would use again thank you
I had 3 saddles on trial, which was arranged ready for my saddle fitter, one of which I bought. I then sold 2 Bates saddles, which was hassle free and the money was immediately put into my account. The staff supported and advised me throughout. Thank you
I ordered a second hand saddle which the advert said was in ‘fair’ condition. It arrived when it said it would and I couldn’t be happier. The saddle almost looks like new and is perfect for my daughter’s pony. Very pleased with all the communication from The Saddle Bank too and the 5 day trial is such a fab option to have available when purchasing a saddle. 5 stars all round.
The saddle is amazing, i love the trial period of it i also find the letter sweet that you get in your purchase. I loved my experience would definitely recommend x
The Saddle bank had a saddle I wanted to buy, it was a very easy process, and I paid through PayPal. I received it very quickly and it's exactly as described. In the meantime, the Saddle Bank bought two of my saddles for good prices, which are now paid for, they sent a courier to collect, it was quick and easy and stress free. I highly recommend The Saddle Bank , thank you!

Quick and easy service, hassle free and a good quality second hand saddle.
Really can’t fault the service. Unfortunately the saddle I trialled was the wrong shape for my mare. Very impressed with the no quibble return. Booked and authorised within minutes. I highly recommend the saddle bank if you want to try a saddle and not end up with one you have to sell on again if it doesn’t fit.
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.

How to Care for Your Albion Saddle
Clean Regularly
Use a damp (not wet) sponge or cloth to remove dirt and sweat. Apply Albion Luxury Leather Soap sparingly to lift grime while conditioning the leather.
Condition as Needed
Once the leather is clean and dry, apply a small amount of Albion Leather Balm using a soft cloth or sponge. This helps restore moisture and keep the leather supple.
Store Properly
Keep your saddle at room temperature, away from direct heat or damp conditions. Always store it on a saddle rack or stand to preserve its shape.
By incorporating these steps into your regular routine, you’ll ensure your Albion saddle stays in peak condition for years to come.
