About The Saddle Bank

The Saddle Bank was established in December 2016 to offer horse owners a safe place to purchase quality used saddles online. From a humble beginning, The Saddle Bank has grown rapidly to become one of the world's leading online saddle retailers, supplying horse owners, saddle fitters, and other retailers around the world. With over 1400 saddles in stock across 50+ top brands, The Saddle Bank is proud to be the largest and most trusted online saddle company. 

Jade's (Director of The Saddle Bank) journey began with her first horse, Billy, and the struggle to find a suitable saddle. Her experiences with ill-fitting saddles and unhelpful fitters inspired her to create The Saddle Bank. Today, the company not only sells saddles but also offers online courses and collaborates with saddle fitters in the UK and USA to provide a wide selection of quality saddles.  

Upon qualifying as a saddle fitter, Jade realised there was a gap in the market to help other newly qualified saddle fitters who may be struggling to source and access quality stock. By working with saddle fitters across the UK, The Saddle Bank can ensure that fitters have the choice of stock they need to provide the best possible saddle-fitting experience for their clients. 

With thousands of reviews across various trusted platforms such as TrustPilot, and Facebook, The Saddle Bank is proud that so many people find value in the products and services offered. The team of 'Saddle Bankers' work exceptionally hard to deliver the level of service that maintains these standards. 

"We are excited to help more saddle fitters find their way in the industry and ensure that end consumers (and their riders) are supplied with the best possible saddle for them."
