What to check before buying a used dressage saddles

A used saddle is only a bargain if it fits. Four things are worth settling first:

The tree. The frame is the one part that cannot be put right afterwards. Ask about its condition and its width before anything else.

Fit to your horse. The tree has to match your horse’s back, not the seat size that suits you. Those are two separate questions and both matter.

Seat size for you. Half an inch out is something you feel within a few minutes of sitting in it.

Leather and stitching. Surface marks are normal on a used saddle and are often why the price is good. Dry or cracked leather at the billets and stirrup leathers is not, because those carry load.

If you are unsure about any saddle on this page, ask us before ordering. We would rather answer the question than take a return.
