The art of finding a great used dressage saddle

There are literally hundreds of saddle makers building and supplying dressage models, so it only stands to reason that those quality models will sometimes be put up for sale, giving you the chance to buy a good quality used dressage saddle.

One of the best things about buying a used dressage saddle is that you can often find a saddle normally out of your price range, that now you can afford. Riders in disciplines like dressage usually take their sport very seriously, and take exceptionally good care of their horses and equipment, so the chance of you finding the right saddle is great.

Saddle makers take great pride in building dressage saddles and treat it as much as a piece of art as they do a saddle. These models are built and designed to last for years, and the craftsmanship shows even in a used dressage saddle.

When you examine a used dressage saddle, check the tree and the stress points for dryness and excessive damage or breakage. Have someone professionally fit the saddle to your horse to determine the proper choice.
