Whatever the reason here at The Saddle Bank we want to you to have the right saddle for your horse and you.

So your old saddle isn't suitable now, what do you do?

This is the first step to part exchanging your saddle! It involves three simple steps;

Step 1:

Take pictures of your saddle from all angles. Make sure it is in good lighting and you take pictures showing an accurate condition of your saddle and any flaws seen. If your saddle has a serial number/stamp a picture of this is great as well!

Step 2:

Option 1;

This is the more popular option we find here at TSB HQhttps://www.youtube.com/@thesaddlebank. 
With option 1 all you need to do is purchase the saddle you are wanting to try on the website as normal.

Our super team will get it boxed, dispatched and delivered to your door on the delivery date of your choice. Once you and your saddle fitter are happy that the saddle is right for you and your horse, contact our friendly team to let them know you are wanting to get your PX saddle collected and they will get the courier booked! All you need to do is box your saddle up and have it ready for the courier!

Once your PX saddle had arrived with us we will transfer the quoted part exchange amount to you and you are ready to ride in your new saddle!

With this option it means you aren't without a saddle and can get riding in your new saddle straight away, without having to worry about the stress and timewasters of selling your saddle privately and then hoping your dream saddle is still in our tackroom waiting for you.

Don't forget you could also finance part or all of your new saddle until your PX one has arrived with us, read about finance here

Option 2

The second PX offer we can do is that you pay the difference between your new saddle and the saddle you are swapping in, plus the delivery to you and any bar swaps or accessories you need to complete your tack. 

We would then arrange the courier to collect the part exchange saddle so all you need to do is box it up!

Once it has arrived at The Saddle Bank HQ we will dispatch your new saddle to you read y for you to ride.

With this option it does unfortuantely leave you saddle-less for a couple of days and if you find during your 5 day UK trial the saddle isn't right for you or your horse we wouldn't be able to return your PX saddle to you, we would of course refund the PX value in with your refund as per our trial policy.
