5 * for the Saddle Bank

I have used the Saddle Bank a few times over the years, firstly to sell a saddle of mine (which they did, quickly and effortlessly), then to purchase a second hand one (with the amazing Amy, she came out with a huge selection of stock and nothing was too much trouble) and then for advice on what would fit my new horse as we had moved out of their area. Every time the Saddle Bank staff have been so kind, thorough and extremely knowledgeable; they are always willing to help, will go above and beyond to offer advice and provide information even if it isn't going to result in a sale for them. I cannot recommend the Saddle Bank enough, if you need anything tack or saddle related these are your people. Thank you :)

Sold two saddles to the Saddle Bank

I was looking for an easy straightforward way of selling two saddles that we no longer needed. I have heard nightmare stories about people selling privately online and I felt that selling via the Saddle Bank would be more secure and straightforward. I followed the process on the website which was really easy and straightforward, filling in the details and uploading the photos that they needed, again which was really easy. Within an hour I had one valuation and the second one came the following day. I spoke to the office with a few questions about boxing up the saddles and they were really helpful. I liked the fact that the saddles are insured by them once picked up by their courier. I accepted the offers online and chose my preferred courier pick up time. Within a few days I received emails to confirm that the saddles had been received and payment arrived in my bank account. I would definitely use the service again as the service was relatively quick and straightforward and thank you to the staff were very helpful and well informed. Michelle Greene

Great Experience!

I’ve been hunting for a specific saddle for a long time, and the quality of the saddle search, the photos and descriptions, gave me the confidence to buy online!

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.

This works well on Warmblood, Quarter Horse, Arab and Draught types. Dippy tree, which suits horses with a sway-backed, and Native tree, which is a wide head and shape suited to Native types with some shape to their back. Show Tree, which features a wide head with some shape to the tree, making it suitable for ponies and native types.

As the saddle is wool flocked, your fitter can make on-site adjustments to fine-tune the fit to your horse’s shape as needed.
