Parts for WOW saddle

[zoon]

Where is the best place to buy second hand flaps, headplates, panels etc for WOW saddles? I've been looking on ebay but what I need never seems to come up - anywhere else I can try?

What are you after? I need to rehome my WOW, got dressage flaps, XC flaps, size 2 (I think) seat, God only knows what panels...in fact I need to find out LOL! Might have to do a thread tomorrow and see if anyone can work it out! Mine is black buffalo with white stitching BTW...I think!

I need a size 2 headplate, moveable block VSD flaps or -2 length moveable block dressage flaps (very rare though), Extra deep size 2 seat and DDWG panels (think thats what they are!) He has a curved tree rather than the normal flat tree as well and it's a b*gger to fidn anything, but don't want to pay full price.

I have my jumping WOW saddle and was going to just get the extra dressage flaps, but if I can find the second hand parts I could make a whole saddle!

Oh boo, I have long length fixed block dressage flaps and my seat is only deep, not extra deep

He sounds like a nightmare!

I'm the nightmare - massive WB horse and 5'3 short ass rider who needs stumpy flaps on her saddle! My jumping flaps are -2 and are tiny

I was going to say e-bay. I've got panels for sale if they are of any interest PM me

To be honest you'd be better off buying a whole saddle second hand. If you need short flaps, just take them to a saddler to have the 2" removed from the bottom

what colour do you need as I am selling my moveable block VSD's in dk brown, they are hardly used as I had them for showing, they were featured in Horse mag last year! So I have had extra velcro put on them so they close properly when you take the blocks out. I have an assortment of blocks too. I also have a variety of headplates. Don't think I have the panels you need but will check for you, may have a client who has though as she has changed horses and has a selection of left over panels.

I would happily get a whole saddle - but getting one with VSD flaps is very difficult.

His tack is all black, so don't really want to be getting a brown saddle as I'd then have to get a brown bridle (I have to match!)

Gah! All size 2 seats - I am desperately after a size 1 seat and size 0 panels..... 'hens teeth' comes to mind

(PMs welcome from anyone who is looking to sell

)

Am collecting a vast array of panels atm though, but wanting to hang on to them for the time being until my lot have stabilised after the first flurry of shape changing after getting their wows
