Guaranteed Saddle Buy Back

Ride with confidence — we've got your back

Here at The Saddle Bank, we know that nothing lasts forever, and in the world of horses, things change quickly.
Your horse's shape can shift with workload, seasons, grass availability, and age. That means the perfect saddle today might not be the perfect fit tomorrow.

That's why we created our Guaranteed Buy Back Scheme. When you buy a saddle from us, you already know what value you'll receive back within 9 months if things change.

It's peace of mind from day one, giving you flexibility and confidence that you'll always have an easy, transparent way to resell.

Why Choose Buy Back

While some riders choose saddle rental schemes, our buy back option is far more cost effective.
Rather than paying ongoing rental fees, you own your saddle and know exactly what you'll get back if you return it. It's a smart way to ride with flexibility, without the long term cost.

Although there is a small cost in depreciation, it's a weight off your shoulders knowing there's a guaranteed outlet to resell your saddle quickly, easily, and hassle free.

Transparent Buy Back Rates

• Used saddles: we pay 20% less than your purchase price
• Ex-demo saddles: we pay 30% less than your purchase price
• Brand new saddles: we pay 35% less than your purchase price

Applies to saddles purchased from The Saddle Bank and returned in comparable condition (fair wear and tear is fine).

Please also note there is the cost of the courier fee to consider, unless you prefer to drop the saddle off to us in person or arrange your own courier.

How It Works

1. Go to our Sell a Saddle page and request a quote. Select Buy Back to trigger our team to offer you the preferential rate based on your original order.
2. If your saddle is outside of the 9 month window, we will still offer a quote, but not on the preferential buy back rates.
3. Log into your account and book the courier to collect from you on a day that suits you.
4. We receive your saddle and process it through our inspection process.
5. Receive payment straight into your bank account.

Worked Examples

• You paid £1,200 (used) → Buy back = £960 (minus £30 courier)
• You paid £1,500 (ex-demo) → Buy back = £1,050 (minus £30 courier)
• You paid £2,000 (brand new) → Buy back = £1,300 (minus £30 courier)

Beyond 9 Months

Even if you are outside the 9 month window, we will still aim to help.
Depending on the brand and condition, we may either purchase the saddle outright or sell it on your behalf through our usual channels.

However, this will default to our standard resale rates rather than the preferential guaranteed buy back values.
