Buying Pre-Loved Competition Saddles: High performance, better value

Investing in pre-loved quality competition saddlery is a strategic choice for savvy equestrians. It allows you to access elite, high-performance brands at a fraction of the retail price—without compromising on the comfort of your horse or your position in the air or on the flat.

 

Why Choose Quality Used Saddlery?

  • Financial Savvy: Maximize your budget by purchasing premium brands that hold their value.

  • Immediate Availability: Unlike custom orders which can take months, our pre-owned stock is ready for immediate fitting.

  • Proven Comfort: High-quality leather that has been well-maintained often offers a “broken-in” feel that is instantly comfortable for the rider.

 

The Importance of Professional Fitting

When buying a used competition saddle, condition and fit are paramount. A saddle that looks perfect may have a twisted tree or asymmetrical flocking that only an expert can detect.

To ensure your investment supports your horse’s welfare, we recommend working with a Society of Master Saddlers (SMS) Qualified Fitter. At Martin Wilkinson Master Saddlers, every pre-owned saddle in our inventory undergoes a rigorous quality check to ensure it meets our exacting standards for safety and performance.

 

Find Your Perfect Match

We carry a comprehensive, ever-changing selection of quality-checked saddles from leading manufacturers. Whether you are looking for a used dressage saddle, a pre-owned jumping saddle, or a GP saddle, we can help you find the right fit.

Noor Rhijnsburger
Very happy with the saddles Martin has fitted to my 2 horses. After assessing and measuring the horse's backs, Martin knows exactly which saddles would fit best. It's an impressive skill but with his 40 years of experience I'm not surprised. Besides fitting the horses' backs perfectly, he looks at what would suit me as the rider best and even managed to find saddles in my budget. He is patient and gives plenty of time to try the saddle ridden. But what I'm happiest about is how the new saddles improved my horses' freedom of movement, especially around the shoulders

Absolutely fantastic experience! These guys know their stuff, are friendly and wonderful to deal with. My horse and I are very happy with our saddles. The fitting was fun and relaxed. Highly recommend!

I had seen another saddler who sold me a saddle that was too big and then wouldn’t give me all the money back. They had also sold me a saddle that was too narrow. Many people had told me it was wrong. Luckily Martin came out and sorted out my dressage saddle. As well as being too narrow (luckily it’s adjustable) the flocking was uneven. I now feel like I’m actually sitting around my horse not perched on top of her. Thank you Martin - see you for our check in a few months.

Great saddlery with a good selection of stock items and friendly staff. Have used them for years and recently dropped off an Ideal for repair after heavy usage. Highly recommend
