All returned saddles will incur a $100 Trial Fee that will be deducted from the refund before processing.

The trial period commences on the day you receive your parcel, as recorded by the postal company. Or for local customers, on the day you collect the saddle from our store.

Discover the Right Saddle for You and Your Horse - No Strings Attached!
If you're really unsure we always recommend a saddle fit. Contact your local saddle fitter to see if this saddle is in their stocked range. You might be able to save yourself a bit of hassle if they have it available as a demo.
We would never want you to keep the saddle if it wasnt working out for you and your horse. BUT we do have to be very strict with the terms, so please contact us to return the saddle before the 14 day trial period is up.
Monday – Friday 8:30am – 5:30pm Saturday 9.00am – 2pm Sunday and Public Holidays CLOSED
You're in good hands!

The staff were very helpful :-) They assisted in getting the size I needed in a beautiful jacket and offered to get it in as soon as possible for only a small additional cost. ❤️ Excellent service.
