Saddle Trial Policy

As of January 1, 2016, Shedrick English Saddlery has instituted a new policy regarding saddles taken on trial.  Any saddle that is left with or shipped to a client for trial will be paid for at the current asking price prior to the start of the 7 day trial period.  (a maximum of 3 saddles may be taken on trial at any given time)  Payment may be made in the form of a check, Paypal, Master Card, Visa or American Express.  At the conclusion of the 7 day trial period, the client is to email [email protected] and inform us of the decision to either purchase the saddle or return it.  If returning, the client is responsible for any/all shipping costs.  Proof of return shipping (tracking number) must be received in our office within 3 business days.  If the pre-payment was received by check, the client will be sent a refund in that form.  If Paypal or credit card was used, a refund of the purchase price will be given.  The client is to return the saddle(s) in the same condition as when it/they were received.  If the saddle was shipped, the 7 days trial period starts upon receipt of saddle to the client.

Please see instructions on how to ship a saddle to us on the home page.

      As an independent saddle fitter, I pride myself on my focus on service, not sales. Below are some questions that I encourage you to consider when choosing or trying a saddle fitter...

• What is your first impression? Saddle fitters are just like any other equine service person (vet, farrier, etc), if you or your horse have a negative reaction to the experience then consider trying someone else. 
• Does the fitter ask you questions about past saddle fit, lameness, or back issues? Do they listen to your input?
• Does the fitter touch the horse's back and/or investigate anything peculiar or unusual?
• Does the fitter pay attention to your horse’s responses? Do they ask you about the horse's responses (whether they are "normal" for the horse or not)?
• Is the fitter willing to see if your existing saddle can be made to work, or is s/he pushing you toward something else?
• Does the fitter want to see your existing saddle, or are they trying to convince you to buy another saddle?
• If you've inquired about a new/used saddle, did the saddle fitter bring you choices or just one or two?
• Does the fitter tell you that one saddle can be adjusted to fit every horse and rider?
