Find the Perfect Fit: Buying Used Saddles for Sale for Horse Riders
For riders looking for high-quality saddles without the excessive price tag, second-hand and used saddles provide the same exceptional craftsmanship at a fraction of the cost of new models, making top brands like Kent & Masters and Albion accessible to more riders.
By choosing a used saddle, you can invest in durability and comfort for less, often getting models that have already been broken in for greater initial comfort.
Quality second-hand saddles

When purchasing a used saddle, quality is essential. Sheepham Saddles inspects each saddle carefully, ensuring it meets the highest standards for condition and longevity.

Finding the perfect saddle
trial your saddle before you buy
Choosing the ideal saddle involves balancing your riding goals with your horse's unique shape. Sheepham Saddles carries options that suit a range of riding needs, like the Ideal Jump Saddle, which supports security over jumps, and the Black Country GPD Saddle, which provides a flexible fit for both flatwork and trails.
A well-fitting saddle can improve balance and comfort, allowing you and your horse to move seamlessly. For riders unsure about fit, Sheepham Saddles offers a 5-day trial period in the UK, giving you the opportunity to test a saddle in real-world conditions before making a final decision. This approach reduces the risk of purchasing an unsuitable saddle.
Tips for buying used saddles
making the right saddle choice
Buying a used saddle requires careful consideration of fit, durability, and adjustability. Many saddles, such as the Bates All Purpose and Kent & Masters GP, feature adjustable gullets, which allow the saddle to adapt as your horse's shape changes over time.
This adjustability is especially valuable for young horses or those undergoing training. Meanwhile, it's important to ensure the saddle fits comfortably on your horse’s back and doesn’t restrict their movement. Sheepham Saddles’ trial option gives riders a way to test the saddle’s fit to confirm it meets both horse and rider needs.

With a pre-owned saddle, riders can experience quality craftsmanship without the wait for materials to soften, allowing for more immediate comfort in riding.
