FAQs
Commonly Asked Questions About Our Saddles
Which brand of saddles does Sheepham Saddles provide?
Sheepham Saddles offers a wide range of secondhand saddles from well-known brands such as Albion Saddles, Bates Saddles, Black Country Saddles, GFS Saddles, Harry Dabbs Saddles, Ideal Saddles, Kent & Masters Saddles, Optimum Performance Saddles, and Thorowgood Saddles. These brands cover various types of saddles, including dressage, jumping, and general-purpose models, providing options for different riding disciplines and budgets.
What condition are the secondhand saddles in?
The secondhand saddles are in used condition and are sold “as is.” While they are inspected for overall quality, some saddles may require adjustments, such as flocking, to fit your horse properly. We recommend having a professional saddle fitter assess the saddle during the 5-day trial to ensure it meets your horse’s needs. The saddles may show some signs of wear, as expected with used products, but they are carefully selected to maintain usability.
How long does delivery take once I place an order?
For UK orders placed before 2:30 pm, delivery typically takes place the next working day, provided it is a weekday. Orders placed after 2:30 pm will be processed the following working day. Deliveries do not include weekends, so any order placed late on Friday will be dispatched the following Monday. Sheepham Saddles uses DPD Local for all UK and European deliveries, and we aim to keep customers updated on the progress of their shipments via courier tracking services.
Can I return or exchange a saddle if it doesn’t fit my horse?
Yes, if the saddle doesn’t fit your horse, you can return it within the 5-day trial period. We ask you to fill out a returns form, package the saddle according to our guidelines, and arrange for collection. There is a £10 trial fee per saddle, plus a £25 return collection charge. Refunds are processed within two working days of receiving the returned saddle, minus any fees.
What is your return policy for saddles?
The return policy allows customers to trial saddles for 5 days. If the saddle is unsuitable, it must be returned by submitting a returns form no later than 3 p.m. on the 5th day. Returns should be repackaged carefully, and collection is arranged via DPD for a £25 fee. A £10 trial fee is also deducted from the refund.
Money for any unwanted saddle is refunded to the credit/debit card used to make your purchase, minus the return fee. Once we have received the unwanted saddle, it will be inspected and your refund processed within 3 working days.
Please allow a further 7-10 days for the refund to show on your card/account. Please note the timeframe varies from bank to bank.
How do I choose the correct saddle size for my horse?
To ensure the correct saddle size, it is highly recommended to consult a professional saddle fitter. Sheepham Saddles provides a list of fitters in your local area to help with this process. During the 5-day trial, you can have a professional assess the saddle’s fit for both the horse and rider. If adjustments are needed, such as flocking, they can be made to ensure a proper fit.
Do you provide fitting services?
Sheepham Saddles does not provide fitting services directly. However, we recommend using a professional saddle fitter to assess the saddle during the trial period. We’ll help you locate a qualified fitter in your local area through our Book a Saddle Fitter service to ensure the best fit for your horse and riding style.
What if the saddle I want isn’t in stock?
If the saddle you want isn’t in stock, you can regularly check the website for updates or contact Sheepham Saddles to enquire about future availability. We may also suggest alternatives that meet your needs.
Can I request additional photos of a saddle before buying?
Yes, you can contact Sheepham Saddles directly if you require more detailed photos of a saddle before making your purchase decision.
Can I get a refund if the saddle isn’t what I expected?

Refunds are processed within three working days after the saddle is returned and inspected, but please allow a further 7-10 days for the refund to appear on your card/account, as bank processing times may vary.
Can I part-exchange my current saddle when purchasing a new one?
Yes, Sheepham Saddles offers a part-exchange option, allowing you to use the value of your current saddle toward purchasing another one. This may give you a higher return compared to outright selling your saddle.
How do I know if a saddle is suitable for my riding style?
It is recommended to consult a professional saddle fitter to assess whether a saddle is suitable for your riding style. Sheepham Saddles offers a variety of saddle types, such as dressage, jump, and general-purpose, allowing you to choose based on your discipline. The 5-day trial period gives you the opportunity to test the saddle to ensure it meets your needs.
