Second hand balance saddles

[teach]

I have had a fitter out today, and both horse and I loved the saddle we tried, but unfortunately haven't the funds for a brand new one..anyone know where the best places to look are, other than eBay and the balance website..

Thanks

Shamelessly bumping for the later crowd

Can't help I'm afraid as my suggestion was going to be ebay as that's where I sold my Balance saddles. I didn't find Balance's own website very helpful to be honest but that was a couple of years ago so might have improved.
Does the fitter who came out know of any? Sometimes they know of them before they are advertised.
Hope you manage to find one as they are brilliant saddles.

Thanks, I already have a zenith, but its too narrow now, so on the search for an 8/9x felix now. She's on the lookout for one for me, but trying to cover all the bases!

You could contact Lavinia http://www.laviniamitchell.com/ she used to know of quite a few 2nd hand ones. She used to work with Balance but then set up her own company using a similar stamp of saddle but much lower in price.

Also there is Roz Rawhide who is an independent saddler based near Milton Keynes, she often has Balance saddles.

I've bought / sold mine on ebay before.
