Best place to find a second hand T4 Pony saddle??

[palomino_pony]

I am helping out my YM and looking for a saddle for he son's 12hh pony. She has been told to get a Thorowgood T4 pony club 15" Xwide. Pony is only ridden twice a week but has major saddle slippage with the saddle he came with. (up round ears!) Had saddler out and he reconmended the above saddle. She doesn't want to spend loads, not worried about scuffs, marks etc. Happy for 2nd hand (preferably). Looked on ebay for a few weeks but either the wrong size or too much money. Any other websites to try?

I thought the T4 and the Pony Club saddles were two different designs, ie its either a T4 or its a PC saddle? I have a Thorowgood pc saddle in a 15 inch but I don't know what width it is, I'll check and see tomorrow. They do come up on ebay quite often, how about registering your search so if one is listed you receive an ebay email telling you? I found the earlier model (without the fish inserts) to be a much nicer finish of saddle than the new model (I have a 16" one also). I'd also point out that both of mine have widened with not too much use, so you may be able to use a W one instead of XW. This is the reason both of mine are no longer needed.

I'll get back to you if mine may suit.

This one is one there now - would 16" really be too big?

Good luck with your search.

Oh thanks for that AB. I didn't know you could register a search - I'll investigate. PM me about the saddles if it'd fit. 16" would be too big as he is a very compact but round 12hh, maybe even 11.2hh
