I recieved my quote very quickly, the service was fantastic and the money from the sale was in my bank within days. It took all the hassle out of selling a saddle that was surplus to requirements.

Great customer service, all queries I had were solved very quickly. I bought a lovely Bates Victrix of which both me and my horse absolutely love! But I also sold two saddles to you which I have never done before so it was all very new to me as to what I had to do but you all made it so easy giving me step by step instructions and I'm so happy knowing both saddles are in great hands and hopefully someone will make great use of them instead of them sat around collecting dust in my tackroom.

Couldn’t fault the saddle selling process. Communication was excellent and it really took the stress out of selling. Fast payment too. Would use again!

Bought a second saddle this week after such good service purchasing a dressage saddle earlier in the month. Exactly as described and a super easy process. 😊

Quick and easy sale of saddle

I was sceptical of sending off my saddle at first, as most would be sending something of value without the payment before hand. But I am so glad I did, from the moment I had an offer to buy my saddle, too the payment in my bank was little over a week. No hassle, no messing, straight toward. Would definitely do it again!

Excellent service. Again!

Second time I’ve sold through the saddle bank and it was super easy, hassle free and a pleasure to deal with. Would highly recommend

Outstanding

Ordered a saddle, sadly saddler couldn’t come in the 5 day trial period (my fault!) unfortunately the saddle was slightly too long for my horse. Had the saddle 10 days, rung customer services and asked to swap the saddle for another, DPD picked up the first saddle the next day and once returned the second one was sent and received extremely quickly. Absolutely refreshing service, no battles or getting sent round in circles, cannot fault any part of the team. Have since recommended the company to others at the yard and they’ve had a faultless experience with the company too. A breath of fresh air! Also bought a girth and again, straightforward and hassle free. Would recommend 10 times over

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.

Caring for Your Albion Saddle: Product Overview & Recommendations
Maintaining the beauty and longevity of your Albion saddle is all about using the right care routine with premium-quality products. Albion’s leather care range is designed specifically to protect and preserve their saddles’ luxurious leather, offering three essential options:

1. Albion Luxury Leather Soap (500ml)
A mild, vegetable-based soap enriched with glycerine to gently lift dirt, sweat, and residue while maintaining the leather’s natural oils. Virtually pH neutral and free from harsh detergents, it won’t damage or strip the colour from your saddle. Ideal for routine cleaning.

2. Albion Luxury Leather Balm (500ml)
An ultra-conditioning balm formulated from a 200-year-old Swiss recipe. It deeply nourishes and protects leather, restoring softness and suppleness even in demanding conditions. Best used after cleaning with the Leather Soap for complete leather care.

3. Albion Leather Care Kit
Includes:
1 x Leather Soap (500ml)
1 x Leather Balm (500ml)
2 x Sponges
1 x Branded storage bag

This all-in-one set is perfect for those who want a convenient, premium solution for maintaining their Albion tack.

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.
