Following on from the brown synthetic saddle thread - what do you think?

[fine_and_dandy]

Unfortunately caught the the synthetic saddle thread a little too late!

I've realised I need to have a clear out and have got a 16.5 [believe it is medium or wide, can't remember] brown synthetic thorowgood saddle. It is a pony club one as that was the only one that did 16.5.

The question is, should I wish to offload it, what should I list on Ebay for? Or any other website for that matter?

It is in nearly new condition as I found I didn't like it to ride in and so have barely used it. I have since used it to introduce a light saddle to my youngster but as he is now beginning his ridden career in another saddle I have no reason to keep it. I think I paid £250 [there or thereabouts] a couple of years ago for it and it has fish inserts.

Is there a market for this type of saddle? I'd always assumed that not many people liked brown synthetic tack [whereas brown tack is my preference] and am aware that most saddlers do need to order brown ones in.

Any help appreciated

Somewhere in Lancashire has shop that buys second hand saddles I'll find the address. Or try prloved as it's free, failing that try eBay. I prefer tack but those with bays and chestnuts may prefer brown so there is a mRket out there.

Saddles direct.co.uk is the shop that buys them, if your in Lancashire it's worth a try but if not, see if there are any similar shops near you.
