Old pony saddle...where to buy?

[madhector]

Where would be the best place to find one? not too bothered about looks, just want something cheap and chearful, been looking on ebay, and found one but got outbid

(not very good at this ebay thing)

What sort of price is fair for an old pony saddle, that has seen better days, but has a sound tree and life left in it?

thanks

Car boot sales? Would have thought about £30

about 30 pounds for something 16" medium fit. Keep looking on ebay, they do some up really cheap quite often.

What sort of size are you after? Been looking for one myself, but some sizes are like hen's teeth. One I was looking at went for 256 quid..... (but then I need an xx wide 14 inch...)

something that I can fit into so about 16 inch that will also fit a welsh A, there was a lovely one on ebay, but just wasnt quick enough with my bidding, only went for £32

If not, look at the shires Hi lite range, they're cheap and comfy.

We have a fantastic pony saddle which is about 20 plus years old. Don't think it will ever be sold, currently not in use, as a new one would be so expensive.

Have you looked in the freeads?

How big is the section A ? Just wondering as we have a section A, 11.2hh and a 16 inch is way too big for her. She needs a 14 inch. I would find out the length of saddle the pony needs before you buy one.



Apologies if you have already done this!!

ETA- We bought the saddle off ebay!! We contacted the seller before the auction ended as they were local and said if it didnt sell at auction could we try it. It didnt sell and we were able to try it for fit. But you have to email the seller before the auction ends, otherwise you are unable to contact afterwards unless they are selling something else.

I thought that

Ours takes sec A size rugs and I wouldnt attempt to put anything bigger than a 14" on him.......

 

[madhector]

well the 16 inch I found on ebay was used on a 11.3 and a 12.2 so thought it might fit

The ponies at work (also welshies and related to mine) have 16 inch saddles and are fine, so is very confusing

My 11.2 section A wears a 16 ins ..no probs and she's not particularly long in the back....

my 14.2hh haffy wears a 16 inch and its just right on him i wouldnt want to put it on anything smaller than 13hh to be honest!
