Buying a saddle? Look no further!
Having spoke to my saddler about the make and size of saddle that would fit my youngster, I then looked on saddlebank.
I am so glad I did, there was a chunky monkey saddle for my chunky monkey! I ordered it there and then, but was a bit worried when I had to change the delivery date to fit my saddlers availability. My worry was unfounded, i got an email over the weekend assurring me this wasn't a problem. Everything was seamless from ordering through to delivery. The saddle arrived on time in the expected condition and was very well packaged, and best of all it fits perfectly - a very happy customer!

Purchased Saddle
Overall I have had an excellent service from the Saddlebank. It's not an easy process buying a secondhand saddle. You either rely on your saddler to find one or go via FB. So I was slightly hesitant of using this process, but I shouldn't have worried.
After filling in a Saddle Recommendation form and detailing a number of saddles I liked, I was emailed back with some suggestions and why. I was then contacted by a team member to see if I was happy with where I was. I had picked out a couple of saddles and she discussed how they were different and what she felt would work best for what I needed.
I then trialed two saddles. They arrived the day before my saddler and after trying a few I chose a Black Country, which fitted my horse really well and was comfortable, so all good.
I then arranged for the other saddle to be returned and even had to change the day of collection and there were no issues. A few days later I had my refund for the cost of that saddle.
I would definitely recommend using Saddlebank, the process was very easy and their was a good selection to chose from. The kept in regular contact with me and were happy to deal with any questions I had. Especially as I had a difficult horse to fit.
Yes, you have to outlay the cost of the saddles first, and the cost of the saddle may be slightly more, but you are paying for a service and I felt it was worth it.
My only issue is the website can jump around a bit and searches did not always bring up the same number of saddles you saw on your first search. But that could just be user error!
Also filling in this form, I had written my review, forgot to click the star rating and it deleted all I had written! Minor issue, but annoying.
Overall very happy client.

Hi Vanessa,

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review!

We completely understand that buying a second-hand saddle online can feel a little daunting, particularly when you have a horse who is more difficult to fit, so we're delighted that our Saddle Recommendation service and team were able to make the process easier for you.

It's fantastic to hear that the advice helped you narrow down your options and that, after trialling two saddles with your saddler, you found a Black Country that fits your horse well and is comfortable for you too! We're also pleased that returning the other saddle, changing the collection date and receiving your refund were all straightforward.

Thank you as well for your honest feedback regarding the website and review form. We appreciate you highlighting these points and will take your comments on board as we continue to improve the customer experience.

We're so pleased you felt the service was worth it and that you would recommend us. Thank you for putting your trust in The Saddle Bank, and we wish you and your horse many happy rides in your new saddle!

Best Wishes,

Excellent!
Just to say the service is and has always been excellent. I have purchased 3 saddles now from The Saddle Bank. The last one which was recently, the saddle arrived on time, but my horse the day before sustained an injury. The Saddle Bank were very understanding and agreed to extend the trial period. The result being, back on board and the saddle fits well!

We're delighted to hear that you've consistently received excellent service from us. We understand that unexpected things can happen during a trial, so we're always happy to help where we can. We're pleased we could extend your trial while your horse recovered, giving you the opportunity to properly assess the saddle once you were back on board.

Most importantly, it's fantastic to hear that your horse is doing well and the saddle fits! We wish you both many happy rides together.

Excellent Service
I needed to sell and buy a new saddle. After much research, looking at reviews and speaking to others I decided to try the saddle bank. I was impressed with the quick communication, and amount of saddles available. My new saddle was delivered the very next day, with a personalised note. My saddle was exactly as described and I’m very happy with the service from the start to the end. Would definitely recommend saddle bank and I will use again.

Great service
Exchanged my old saddle for a ‘new’ second hand one. Excellent customer service and communications throughout the process, making it as simple as straight forward as possible. Very quick collection/delivery of saddles, and saddle came in immaculate condition. Would definitely be my first choice if I was to need another saddle.

Sold my saddle outright
I got a few prices for selling my saddle, the saddle bank were the only one who gave me an outright price which I was happy with, the process was easy and the saddle was sent free of charge. I would recommend selling through the saddle bank if you want a quick hassle free sale!

Pleasure to deal with.
I have now purchased two saddles from The Saddle Bank and sold one saddle back to them, and every experience has been excellent. Arranging everything was straightforward, with supportive and helpful communication throughout. The door-to-door courier service made the process extremely convenient, and the team was always polite, friendly, and professional. Everything was exactly as described, and I would happily recommend The Saddle Bank to anyone looking to buy or sell a saddle.

Great service
Bought a saddle from here after being recommended by my fitter. Found the service very easy to use. Saddle in great condition - I'd say better than described. Only minor issue was it arrived two days early, and as the trial starts on the day of delivery this meant the saddle fitter was on the last day of the trial. I would've preferred a couple of days after the fitter to test the saddle more. The other issue was I would've had to pay late fees if I did have to send it back, as I wasn't able to do this two days earlier than planned. Fortunately the saddle fitter was happy with the saddle and I didn't have to send back. Overall I'm happy with the service and would use again.

Easy to use service
I found using the Saddle Bank really straightforward. My fitter recommended a specific make and model of a saddle for one of my horses. It was available via the Saddle Bank to trial before committing to buying a saddle that may have not been quite right. My fitter was able to come out, check fit, confirm they were happy, and I didn't have to do anything else! Delivery was prompt, saddle was in the exact condition as described (and even looked a bit newer in person!). I would definitely use this again; much easier than trawling through FB Marketplace to find the right one privately, on the off chance that it'll fit! I also really liked the bar swapping service, as I didn't have any bars of that new make of saddle, and didn't want to invest in any before committing to the saddle. Great concept, super simple, will buy future saddles from TSB!

We're delighted to hear that your saddle fitter's recommendation led you to us and that our trial service gave you the opportunity to have the saddle professionally checked before committing to it. It's also wonderful to hear that the saddle arrived promptly and was even better in person than you expected!

We're especially pleased that you found our bar swapping service useful. We know buying additional bars before knowing whether a saddle is right can be frustrating, so we aim to make the trial process as simple and convenient as possible.

Thank you for choosing The Saddle Bank and for your lovely recommendation. We look forward to helping you with your future saddles! 🐴
