Great service from Start to finish x

Great customer service!

I ordered a saddle that, due to a computer glitch, ended up being unavailable even though the order went through. Customer service got in touch quickly and let me know about the error. Luckily they had another saddle of the same model in stock, so they held that one for me while they waited to hear back. I was very impressed with the way they handled everything and their communication. I live in the United States so I'm not sure when I'll order from The Saddle Bank again, but I do highly recommend them!

Fantastic

I needed to sell my saddle quickly to be able to afford a new one. The saddle bank offered a fair price and made the process so simple. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic

Everyone has been so helpful in finding me a saddle. I was unable to get my saddle fitter out for a month so they were very accommodating at holding the saddle for me and allowing me to have it ordered a couple of days before he was due to come out. Everyone that I spoke to via email or phone was so helpful. The saddle arrived when stated. In great condition and was packed well! Very happy, would definitely recommend anyone to use the saddle bank for a hassle free way of buying a saddle. Thank you so much.

AMAZING!! Thanks from Canada

I was very nervous to make my first saddle purchase, especially online, and from another country. But, I was quickly helped and made to feel very comfortable and at ease. Adi reached out right away and was so helpful and patient with me, and my dozens of questions. I could not be happier with my purchase! My horse is very hard to fit (Belgian x TB/arab), and the fitter recommended a Kent & Masters...which are almost impossible to find in Canada on a budget. Not only did I find her perfect saddle thanks to Adi, but came in under budget, even with shipping, exchange, and import fees (fyi, import fees were less than 200 CAD). The saddle shipped immediately, arrived less than a week later and in perfect condition. Even got a letter wishing us well in our new saddle. I cannot say enough good things about The Saddle Bank. They are definitely an amazing group who are genuinely passionate about getting horses in the right saddle. Thank you Adi and thank you Saddle Bank! My girl is so much happier in her new-to-her saddle and I am relieved knowing she's finally in a saddle she is comfortable in.

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.
