Payment
Once your saddle has been sold and the 14 day returns period has been completed our office will try to contact you to arrange payment (this may be slightly longer if the saddle has been shipped abroad). We will need your bank details in order to make a bank transfer. If you haven’t been contacted, please do contact the office every couple of months to see if your saddle has been sold. We do our best to make timely payments but if contact details change without us being made aware, this can slow down the payment process.
We know how important it is to find the right girth for your horse. Our Girth Bank gives you the chance to try before you buy, with peace of mind.
You’ll have 14 days to try your chosen girth at home.
Light use is fine, but it must be returned clean and in good condition.
If it comes back dirty or damaged, a small cleaning/repair fee may apply.
If you return your girth within the trial, you’ll get a 90% refund (we keep 10% as the trial fee).
Refunds are processed once the girth is safely back with us and checked.
Late returns are charged at £2 per day (up to 14 days). After that, we can’t refund.
You cover return postage, or you can request a £6 prepaid returns label (deducted from your refund).
If you’d like to try a different size or style, no problem!
Each girth trial carries its own trial fee. For example, if you try a 24" and then exchange for a 26", the 24" trial fee is deducted before the 26" is dispatched.
We’ll cover postage on your first exchange (sending the new girth out to you). Any further exchanges will be posted at your cost.
Excessive wear or damage may reduce your refund further.
The scheme is available to UK customers only.
The Girth Bank is designed to give you confidence and flexibility when choosing — while keeping the service fair and sustainable for everyone.
