how much saddles- want a wow!

[mitchellk]

Ok so my horse is a pain to fit saddles for, so how much do you think I would get for my two saddles-
Farrington m/n brown dressage just worked in nearly new
Jaguar xjc close contact black, used but in excellent as new condition
willthat get me any closer to buying a wow dressage and if anyone had one on a high withered horse what do you think of the fit?

I would see what the same saddles are going for on ebay? And ask your saddler what he would give you for them?

The wows fit high withered horses with no problems. They have specific gullets to deal with both high withers and high withers combined with muscle wastage.

My horse is 16.1 hh on the wither and 15.3hh if you stick him on the back.. so a good 2 inch of bone

He also had a lot of muscle wastage when we first got him which has now vanished.

Ive had zero issue with mine.. changed head plates a few times but it gives fabulous clearance over his withers and he's a happy boy in the saddle

Prices.. i honestly dont know

Take a look at this thread. Pics of my boy before and after using wow saddle. You will see from the first pic just how high withered he is. Fitting was no problem.

Ive just been wondering how much Id get for some of my saddles to see if I can afford a WOW as well!

So how much do you think my saddles are worth?
Do wow dealers do any part exchange (am thinking not)

Sounds like the two saddles would probably get you most of the way to funding a wow saddle - I believe you'd need around 1.5k for a totally adjustable one although there are some second-hand ones on ebay sometimes. Also, contact First Thought equine to see if they have any ex-display for sale which is what they advised me to do.

I'd still have to sell a kidney or something before I could afford one though!

If I were to buy one on ebay and it was say a wide would a wow fitter be able to change it to fit my horse and would it mean buying expensive extras?
