Hi everbody

I live in Dublin, Ireland, My two saddles and bridle were stolen from my jeep in my place of work - the Blackrock Clinic, Blackrock, Dublin. My first saddle was a black IDEAL 17" show jumping saddle, saddle no: 1008 (this number is under the girth straps, i think!), It was specifically made for my 17hh horse and cost me €1400. The 2nd was a black WINTEC VSD 17" saddle. Both saddles had my girth, strirrup irons, numnahs on them. My bridle was a black Daslo including bit, elasticated breastplate with martingale attachment. I have been told that they most probably have gone over to the U.K. to be sold at tack auctions. Does anybody know where these tack auctions take place? Can everybody keep an eye out for these saddles if you are buying a 2nd hand saddle or at events, hunts, competitions etc.

Carlisle isnt really reachable, Holyhead is west wales so you would have to cross whole of wales then go a long way north.

Dumfries is even further in SW Scotland. To get to that one ideally you would go Larne-Stranraer on the ferry rather than the Dun Laoghaire-Holyhead?

How long would it take to drive from Stranraer (where the ferry gets in) to Carlisle and also Dumfries?? thanks for the help. I really don't know if it's worth a shot going over or not

I have also had saddles stolen and been to most of the auctions in the south of england. I am on all the horse watch paper work for tack found. I have not seen your saddles but I will keep an eye out for you.
