17 inch Equipe Special One Brown Medium

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 saddle is classed as GRADE 2: Almost new, girthed up, possibly ridden once as part of selecting a saddle.

The Equipe "Special One" saddle is a revolutionary saddle manufactured using state of the art technical materials whilst also showcasing the style and design details that the Italians are famed for. The "Special One" saddle is built on a carbon tree which has many important characteristics such as flexibility, non-deformability, lightness and manufacturing precision. Thanks to the advanced technology deployed and to the adaptability of carbon combined with Kevlar, its structure offers excellent versatility and personalisation. The end result is a tree that precisely follows the shape of the horse, while the depth of the seat allows the rider to find the most natural and suitable position to achieve perfect harmony with the horses movement in any situation with no restrictions.

A super quality jump saddle, perfect for everyday riding and competitions.

ACTIVATION OF WARRANTY
The warranty is valid only when accompanied by proof of purchase (invoice or receipt) and starts from the date of purchase. In the absence of proof of purchase, the date on the product's serial number will be used as reference, regardless of whether the saddle is second-hand.

EXCLUSIONS FROM WARRANTY

Damage caused by:
Accidents.
Improper use of the product.
Negligence or lack of care.
Unauthorised modifications or repairs.

Second-Hand Saddles from The Saddle Bank:

All second-hand saddles from The Saddle Bank include a 6-month soundness warranty. Saddles are sold in sound condition, and a saddle with an average amount of use should reasonably offer many years of service.

This warranty applies only to saddles that have been properly cared for and maintained by the purchaser. It does not cover accidental damage, fire, theft, or misuse. Any alterations or adjustments made by a saddle fitter or the owner will invalidate the warranty, as the individual performing such changes assumes responsibility for the saddle’s safety and soundness.

In addition to our own warranty, any manufacturer tree or leather warranty that applies to the saddle will transfer to the new owner, provided the saddle is still within the manufacturer’s warranty period. To determine whether your saddle remains covered, please refer to the serial number and check this against the manufacturer’s warranty terms.

• Saddle inspection report so you know your saddle has been checked and inspected
• 6 month warranty on all secondhand saddles*
• Manufacturer's warranty on all new saddles
• Guaranteed buy back price within 9 months**
• 5 Day UK Mainland Trial
• FREE ‘Secrets of Selling your Saddle’ eBook to help you sell your old saddles
• FAST delivery worldwide
• 1 hour delivery timeslot for UK mainland clients
• Tracking information provided for overseas clients
• Option to accessorise your saddle
• Friendly customer support team to help you answer any questions and queries

*6 month soundness warranty is provided on all second hand saddles. Saddles are sold sound, and we expect a saddle with an average amount of use to have many years of use. Warranty is only valid on saddles which have been well cared for, and maintained by the purchaser, and does not include accidental damage, fire, or theft. Any alterations made by a saddle fitter or owner will deem the warranty invalid as the person who has made such changes is responsible for the safety of the saddle.
**Guaranteed buy back price is offered on all saddles within 9 months of the original purchase date. The price offered is 20% less the purchase price of second hand saddles, and 35% less the purchase price of new saddles. The guaranteed buy back price is also condition dependent, and the saddle must be in a comparable condition to guarantee the price. The Guaranteed buy back price is only available to UK mainland clients.
