A very difficult pony to saddle but a lot of help from the team and no hassle over changing various gullet bars. Fairly expensive but worth it for good service,

Excellent Service
Good choice of saddles, prompt delivery and clear instructions with regards trial/return. Unfortunately the saddle didn’t fit, the return was easy and refund issued on the day they received the saddle back, unlike another company that took 3 weeks to refund! Would highly recommend!

Efficient System
Really efficient and easy to sell saddles to the saddle bank. I found them straight forward to deal with. When it seems impossible to sell decent second hand saddles through other social media sites ,it does make life easy. The only downside is that you get much less for your saddles than they are worth (but it's better than the saddles sitting at home), although I understand the Saddle Bank has to make a profit.

Thank you very much for your honest and thoughtful review.

We’re really pleased to hear you found the process efficient and straightforward, and that selling through us made things easier compared with the challenges of private sales.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. We really appreciate your feedback and would be happy to help again in the future.

17" Jeffries dressage saddle
The saddle arrived on the day it was expected and I was really pleased with the condition it was in for the price. I was happy with the fit and Eliza thought it was very comfortable especially in canter. She's been making a good stab at doing Novice tests on a jumping saddle. I really wanted a dressage saddle but most seemed to be very expensive to be a second saddle.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review.

We’re really pleased to hear the saddle arrived as expected and that you were happy with the condition and value. It’s great to know the fit worked well and that Eliza is feeling comfortable, especially in canter. Making the step up to Novice tests in a dressage saddle is exciting, and we’re glad we could help you find a suitable option without the high price tag that often comes with a second saddle.

Wishing Eliza every success with her dressage, and please don’t hesitate to get in touch if we can help again in the future.

Simple and easy
I’ve bought 2 saddles from The Saddle Bank and also recently sold one, and all 3 interactions were so easy! The two saddles arrived in the exact confusion stated, and they were very straight forward when it came to selling one. No hidden fees, very responsive communication, clear information, everything was hassle free and simple. Thank you!

Selling my Albion GP Saddle
SaddleBank were very helpful from day one of selling my saddle! It was an emotional time as I had just lost my 30year old pony having had him 20years ! SaddleBank saw my filled out form & responded immediately! Good price as an outdated saddle but was in excellent condition!
However there was a problem with DPD not picking up the packed saddle as instructed SaddleBank were straight on to them so on 3rd attempt they picked it up! As soon as saddle reached SaddleBank they sent the money to me ! Amy was excellent in communication so thank you & thank you to all the team ! Brilliant Best Wishes Patsy
