We take a 25% deposit for our saddle trials, and collect the remaining balance 30 days later.
The amount of time it takes to sell a saddle can vary greatly, and we can’t guarantee your saddle will be sold within a specific time. There’s definitely an element of magic involved in connecting the right saddle to the right horse and the right rider, at the right time!
We market consignment saddles online through various channels including our own website, eBay, social media as well as in person at saddle fitting appointments throughout the Northeast.
You can ship your saddle from anywhere in the US (see our shipping guidelines) or, if you’re in the area, stop by and drop it off during our business hours.
Once we have the saddle in our possession, we’ll evaluate the condition, then compare with similar saddles available online. We’ll make a pricing recommendation, but you’ll have final approval on the list price. (We always suggest leaving some room for negotiation!)
There are no listing fees involved in consigning a saddle or other tack items.
You are free to take your saddle back any time, for any reason. You will be responsible for shipping charges returning the saddle or tack item via UPS Ground.
We accept saddles for all riding styles, including English, Western, Polo, Endurance, trail riding, and more. We have no brand restrictions, but we prefer to take in saddles valued at $1000 or higher at the time of consignment and models that are current within the last 20 years. If you have questions about the value of your saddle or eligibility for consignment, please fill out and submit the Consign With Us form.
We provide the option for all potential customers to make offers on our consignment saddles. The negotiation window for accepting offers will be listed in the Consignment Pricing Agreement so offer can be accepted for faster sales!
Yes! We offer 7-day trials for all of our consignment saddles. Trials begin when the saddle is delivered to the customer. Because all saddle sales are final, we strongly recommend taking the saddle for a trial to ensure the best fit for our clients and their horses! Click here for more information or to schedule a trial.
The buyer is responsible for the cost of shipping only. Click here for a map of shipping zones. We require a credit card pre-authorization for all trials.
No, we cannot guarantee the sale of any saddle. We do ensure that your saddle will be priced competitively and marketed widely enough for people to see!
We take a 35% commission on the final agreed selling price. Payment will be issued via the method chosen on the Consignment Pricing Agreement. ACH payment is preferred however, we do offer payment via Venmo/PayPal or traditionally mailed check. Payments are made in the month following the sale of the saddle or tack item.
A deposit is not required nor is the full amount of the saddle charged and then refunded. A pre-authorization is required so that we do have security of the saddle while it is not in our possession. If the saddle is a good match and will be kept, the pre-authorization will be converted to a charge. If the saddle doesn’t work for you, the pre-authorization will be lifted once the saddle is received back to us.
The only costs the potential buyer is responsible for is the cost of shipping to the saddle to their location and the return shipping if the saddle is not going to be kept.
You’ll need to tighten the girth and ride like you normally would to properly assess the fit and feel of the saddle – take a lesson, hack out, jump, etc! We don’t require the leathers to be wrapped, however, we do ask that you take special care not to mark the saddle beyond the condition it was received in. Saddles that are returned with obvious damage or heavily marked will be required to fix the saddle at the trialee’s cost.
Yes. If the saddle is returned to us, the cost of the Return Label will be charged the same amount as the trial shipping paid to get the saddle to you.
The Return Shipping label is a UPS label and will need to be picked up (you will need to arrange the pick up through UPS) or dropped off at a UPS Store location.
