FOR SALE 16.5ins GP/JUMPING SADDLE

This is an lovely supple GP/jumping saddle, only for sale as the horse it was bought for has changed shape and it no longer fits. It is in great condition.

I don't know the make, but the leather is soft and well cared for and showing only the usual signs of wear eg where stirrup leathers have hung. It was bought and fitted second hand by a saddler 12 months ago and cost £350.

It measures 9ins from D to D, but I would say it is narrow to medium fit rather than wide. The distance between the panels underneath at the front is 4.5ins. We had it on a 14.2hh Welsh cob/arab with fairly well defined withers.

£200 ono.

17.5" Equistation Treeless saddle in havana with black detail. This saddle is used but in excellent condition. Leather look material but easy clean (just wipe down). It's actually an endurance saddle but I have used it as a GP, including jumping in it. Extremely comfortable to ride in and very lightweight for the horse. Will fit most shapes of horse, even high withered horses like my own. This saddle will come with the specialist pad designed specifically for the saddle (pad is black with gel inserts). The saddle alone cost me well over £250 and the pad £100. This gorgeous saddle is no longer needed so I will let the saddle and pad go for £150. I brought the saddle brand new a year ago, it's still in excellent condition. I am open to sensible offers.

The next most important purchase after you have bought your horse or pony is a well fitting saddle.

A badly fitting saddle can cause your horse pain! That pain can lead to loss of performance or even behavioural problems! Imagine always wearing shoes that don't fit - you wouldn't be able to move properly, you would soon experience pain and you would get very grumpy - and you would understand what is hurting!!  A horse has a fight or flight instinct, so if he or she is in pain, the result will be to fight against it, or you, or run away!

So, it is essential that the saddle fits the horse, fits you and suits your needs.  Unless you are very experienced, you should use the services of a saddle fitter to help you find the right saddle.  Most saddle fitters carry stocks of secondhand saddles as well as new ones.  It is much better to spend a little bit more and get it right, than to guess the size and fit you want and buy it on Ebay!  But, if you do buy one secondhand from here, or elsewhere, you can still ask a saddle fitter or an experienced instructor whether the fit is ok for your horse. Just remember though, if you are buying a secondhand saddle privately, you need to be certain that the tree is not broken! You will have to trust the seller unless they are offering a money back guarantee.

Apart from getting the size and fit right, the tree needs to be sound and the 'stuffing' of the saddle evenly distributed with no lumps. again, you need a saddle fitter to get this right for you.

Don't forget also, that your horse will change shape with age, with work and according to his condition, so you should have your saddle regularly checked.
