Saddle
Was looking for a saddle for my new horse and saddle bank kept popping up!

I had a look and decided to buy a saddle from them and some stirrups.

The saddle was absolutely lovely and well looked after (I brought the saddle cover aswell and the quality is spot on) and the stirrups were great also.

The communication was brilliant, the items arrived the next day all beautifully wrapped up, with a lovely letter and some small sweets from Holly.

Would 100% recommend.

Underwhelming experience
I’ve bought from the saddle bank, and found it a really good service. Selling to them is much poorer. My valuation was considerably lower than expected, collection didn’t happen, so I ended up posting at my cost. Upon receipt of the saddle, I was informed that I required flocking. I have bought the saddle new, and truly only used it max 10 times….. so a further £45 deduction. Now awaiting my payment, which was supposed to take 24-48 hours…. But still not arrived. Sell on FB next time. Much better process.

Hi Rebecca,

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re really sorry to hear you’ve been disappointed with your selling experience. We are, however, very pleased to hear that you had a good experience when buying from us previously.

Your saddle arrived with us on Friday and is currently being processed through our workshop and accounts team. We normally issue payments within 1–2 working days once processing is complete, however due to the bank holiday weekend, your payment is scheduled to be made on Tuesday.

In terms of the flocking deduction, all saddles are assessed individually by our team on arrival to ensure they meet the standard required for resale, regardless of age or usage. We appreciate this may not have been what you expected and understand your frustration.

We do appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, as feedback like this helps us continue improving our service. We hope that despite this experience, you may consider using us again in the future for selling saddles.

Best Wishes,
The Saddle Bank Team

Excellent service
I took the photos as suggested and sent them off. Two saddles were recommended, they arrived in time for my saddlers to check. One wasn't any good, but the other simply needed a different gullet bar. This was posted to me and the trial extended a couple of days so I could recheck.
Then the old saddle collected using the same box it had arrived in, no drama, no fuss, new saddle sorted :)

Super smooth service
I recently ordered a saddle from the saddle bank for their 5 day trial, the saddle arrived quickly and safely. The saddle fitted the horse but I just didn’t quite love it, so ordered a similar model which again arrived quickly, I phoned the saddle bank explaining this and that my saddle fitter was due out in a few days, they happily extended the trail of the first saddle by a few days so I could show the saddle fitter both. Luckily the saddle I fell in love with fitted the horse well so I sent the other saddle back that afternoon which was a very easy process and I was kept informed of the whereabout and refunded very quickly. I can’t recommend them enough 🙂

A Good Experience
Thank you. Your website made it easy for me to find the perfect saddle for my pony.
The website is easy to use and the saddle arrived speedily. The first saddle I chose was not the right one and I received the refund quickly. The second saddle I chose was a perfect fit - thank you.

Great for buying & selling
I’ve sold a few saddles through the Saddlebank now, but this is my first time purchasing and it’s been great. Used their advice service to get a view on the saddles I thought might work before I ordered, which was a great help. Saddles were totally as described & very fairly priced compared to similar on sales sites where you wouldn’t have the option to trial and return, and great to have the option to try a few. Again, the support during the trial and offer to check for is really helpful. Really impressed.
