Buying a used saddle
When buying a used saddle, make sure you look under it and ensure that the lining is free of holes or if it displays excessive wear. Check the stirrup leathers to see if they are brittle, torn or if the holes are stretched. If either the stirrup leathers or the lining need to be replaced it may prove to be costly.
Used saddles often need the latigos, billets and cinches replaced. They can become brittle, cracked or worn which is hazardous to your well being.
If at all possible have an experienced saddle maker check the tree of the used saddle to ensure that it is sound. A saddle with a broken tree is worse than useless, it can injure a horses back.
