Review
Following advise from my saddle fitter I found lots of saddle choice with the saddle bank & very fair prices.
The saddle I bought looked brand new & is in excellent condition.
I emailed with some questions & received a prompt, informative & helpful response.
My only issue was that I chose a specific delivery date to coincide with my saddle fitter visit, however this was not picked up on the system. The system had also not charged me delivery & it was only because I received a phone call about this & double checked the delivery date that I discovered the error. This was rectified but had it not been for the call the saddle would have been delivered too early.
Overall I was very happy with the saddle & service I received from tbe saddle bank & would happily recommend them.

Great Experience
I’ve now sold two saddles through the saddle bank and on both occasions the whole process has been simple and stress free! Communication is great and the DPD collection first class. The first saddle sold quickly on commission and the second was purchased direct. All the hard work is done for you, there’s no other hassle free way to sell your saddle!

Hassle free service
A very easy online process to sell my saddle. I hand delivered my saddle to a friendly team for inspection and payment was promptly processed as promised. I have since recommend to friends looking to sell theirs..

Find a big box first
Excellent service. I was selling my saddle back to them having bought it off them a year ago. I just wish I’d kept the box it came in initially. It took me a while to find a big enough box to send the saddle back in, and I had to get a lot of packing materials together to make sure I was happy that it it would be secure in transit but it was fine and I received my money in 3 days. I packed my saddle with an old sheet to protect the leather as well as lots of bags and newspapers scrunched up plus and old towel to make sure it didn’t get scratched.

A really smooth service!
I had been keeping my eye out for a specific saddle to become available on the saddle bank and when it did the service I received was perfect. They explained exactly the process that I needed to go through. The people I spoke to were clear and helpful and the saddle arrived in perfect condition and exactly when they said it would. I would definitely use this service again.

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.

Best Saddle Buying Experience Ever
Searching for a new saddle is stressful and the Saddle Bank made that process easy. I was initially concerned about having a saddle shipped from overseas, however the saddle I ordered arrived faster and at a lower cost than many domestic orders that I placed. Everything about the experience was great, even the process of returning the saddle when it wasn't a good fit. I would definitely order from the Saddle Bank again!

Hi Sally,

Thank you so much for your fantastic review!

We're delighted to hear that we could make the saddle-buying process so much easier for you. Finding the right saddle can certainly be stressful, so it's wonderful to know that everything from the international shipping to the return process exceeded your expectations.

We're especially pleased that your saddle arrived quickly and that returning it when it wasn't quite the right fit was straightforward. Our aim is to make the whole experience as easy and stress-free as possible.

Thank you for choosing The Saddle Bank, and we look forward to helping you find the perfect saddle in the future!

Still waiting for my order
I paid for next day delivery, my order did not arrive after chasing I was told the address label was printed incorrectly and my delivery would arrive the following Monday, it still has not arrived and after chasing with the saddle bank I am no further forward to either a refund on my purchase, postage or my order arriving.

Hi Helen,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We're very sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your experience.

This order was placed with one of our third-party suppliers rather than being dispatched directly by ourselves. Unfortunately, this meant we were limited in what we could do while waiting for updates from them. As soon as we received any information, we continued to keep you updated by email throughout the process.

We completely understand how frustrating the delay was, particularly after paying for next day delivery, and we're sorry that the service provided by our supplier did not meet either your expectations or ours.
