Selling your saddle =EASY

I needed to sell an obsolete saddle that didn't fit my current horse, had advertised it locally but no takers. Decided to give The Saddle Bank a try - it was so was easy. Sent the required photos and information on the saddle, they sent me a quote for immediate buy or a commissioned sale. Made my decision and they arranged everything for the saddle to be collected. Even when DPD messed up the collection, they got it sorted. Money was in my bank within a few days. Would highly recommend using them

Saddle Purchase

Hi there. I live in Canada and recently purchased a used Kent and Masters saddle from The Saddle Bank. I was amazed at the service and how quickly I received my saddle. And my saddle is AWESOME! As a “new to me” saddle, I was worried but it looks brand new! The service is fabulous! Thank you!

Great experience

Saddle Bank had the exact saddle I wanted, I ordered and it turned up the next day, with the right gullet, even better than the condition described. Pony and I both very happy with it!

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.
