    Anyone live in Stourbridge or nearby?

    Thank you for the replies! Yes, she's still looking, hoping to go to look round some yards and houses this weekend.

    Anyone live in Stourbridge or nearby?

    Does anyone live in the Stourbridge area? If so, where do you keep your horse(s)? My friend is moving to the area soon so is looking for somewhere to live (a shared house or rented room type thing) and somewhere to keep her horse (needs to have a school that she can ride in at night as she...

    Prestige D1 dressage saddle

    Thank you CSP. I haven't seen one in person yet but I have watched a youtube video about them which was good and I've done quite a lot of research. Everyone I've spoken to so far has raved about them. I bought my horse (who can't be ridden now) Prestige saddles and they were really lovely...

    Prestige D1 dressage saddle

    Thanks for your reply Freddy!. I've just taken on an ex racehorse on loan as my own horse is lame. I've had Prestige saddles before and I loved them (beuatiful quality) and I think the D1 might just suit the new horse really well. He's a very flashy moving thoroughbred and I want him to be...

    Prestige D1 dressage saddle

    I'm thinking about buying a Prestige D1 dressage saddle as I've heard really good things about them. Does anyone have one and do you rate it?

    How much money do you lose once a saddle is 'second hand'?

    I've changed the listings to say that I will post internationally now. Do you know if they will now show up on eBay in other countries!?

    How much money do you lose once a saddle is 'second hand'?

    I've put them on eBay with £1,000 off the price I paid on each saddle. It's gutting to lose £2,000 from riding in one twice and the other once but I'm most devastated with my horse's lameness obviously. I'm not in a mad rush to sell them so hopefully the right people will come along. They...

    How much money do you lose once a saddle is 'second hand'?

    Thank you, I'll try Saddles Direct and BD etc. Asha, it's a 33cm and can be altered to fit but I'm not sure by how many CMs they recommend for them to be altered by.

    How much money do you lose once a saddle is 'second hand'?

    I won't be able to have a new horse unfortunately. I'll keep my mare and look after her to the best of my ability no matter what (she's only 8 so we've got lots of years together yet!). I can't afford to keep two horses the way that I would want to keep them. I must admit that I'd be gutted...

    Should I move to new yard even though it would skint me?

    Great minds be positive!!!

    Should I move to new yard even though it would skint me?

    If any other yards were suitable but didn't have electric fencing, could you buy your own and ask if you could line the inside of your field with it? Although you'd have the initial outlay of some fencing and a battery, if the livery was cheaper then you could still save money in the long term?

    Should I move to new yard even though it would skint me?

    Are there no other options locally OP? Would not riding but paying a lot of money not get to you too after a while?

    How much money do you lose once a saddle is 'second hand'?

    Thank you LJR. They literally do look absolutely brand new. One was £2,300 and the other was £3,500 in June. I haven't managed to find any similar online, the second hand ones are all fairly worn

    How much money do you lose once a saddle is 'second hand'?

    I bought 2 beautiful brand new Prestige saddles (dressage and jump) in June. Devastatingly my horse has had an injury so I am looking to sell both saddles. I have ridden in the dressage saddle once and the jump saddle twice. How much money should I expect to lose as they are not now brand...
