Top Service

Everything was clearly arranged and very quick. An easy way to sell a saddle even for an "oldie" not used to selling remotely.

Selling a saddle

It was easy to upload the pictures requested/needed for them to have a look at plus to find and use all the correct information/details wanted to give the right style and make. Once upload all information it didn't take long for a quote to come through and accessible to look at and understand to either accept or decline. So efficient to complete the deal and collect

Too service

From my 1st enquiry with in hours I had a price for my saddle after uploading images on the self explanatory site, the saddle bank provided a care sheet for me to follow with easy step by step guide to ensure they received my saddle in the best way. Saddle bank took care of organising delivery all I had to do was hand over the saddle to delivery driver and wait 24-48 hours and the money was in my account, stress free and fantastic service from start to finish 100% recommend the saddle bank and will the first place to look when buy a new saddle

extremely helpful and responsive

Another great experience with The Saddle Bank. All the saddles I ordered came on time and as described. Unfortunately the horse was lame for the saddle fitting appointment so I had to return them, but the staff at the Saddle Bank were brilliant and very helpful by phone. I recommend The Saddle Bank all the time to friends and family in the UK and the US.
