Great company highly recommend!

Really impressed with the saddle bank , I’ve sold three saddles to them and the process has been so easy and efficient with the money in my bank the day they received the saddles. I’ve also recently bought a saddle off their website and it was exactly what I wanted at just the right price , will definitely go to them first next time I’m looking for another saddle !

Black Country Saddle

Very easy to order the saddle, I did this over the phone as I wanted to confirm some information prior to purchase. Helpful friendly people and the saddle arrive on the day promised. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to other people.

Very knowledgeable staff

Having difficulty getting a saddle that fits a barrel horse to my slight frame! TSB staff have listened and made suggestions. I tried 3 which fit one reason or another haven’t worked so next three are on their way!

Excellent Quality

I purchased a used Cavaletti saddle from The Saddle Bank and was pleasantly surprised by how excellent the quality and condition my used saddle was in when I received it. The online ordering was simple and easy and the shipping was very timely. I love my new saddle and my horse looks stunning in it as well!
