Where do I Buy a Saddle?
Where do I Buy a Saddle?Answer: There are lots of places that sell saddles from the feed store with the consignment corner, to shops that specialize in saddles. Want ads and classifieds are also a great place to start looking. You can also mail order or shop online. One thing you will want to ensure is that you have a way to try the saddle out before buying it. This is very important. A bargain bought from an online auction may not be worth the money if it makes you or your horse sore. Most tack shops will let you take the saddle home to give it a test ride. If mail ordering or buying online you may be able to try before you buy if you pay the shipping costs. Someone eager to make a sale, or who doesn’t understand the importance of saddle fit may try to convince you that you don’t need to try a saddle out. This is a mistake. Don’t buy a saddle if you can’t first try it on your horse.
