At EquiJump, we understand the unique demands of Irish riders — from young horses being produced on the west coast to experienced combinations heading for national competition. Our collection of second hand saddles offers a smart and sustainable way to access premium equipment without the new-saddle price tag.
Professionally vetted and fully serviced, each saddle in our collection is selected for its ability to deliver comfort, fit, and performance across a wide range of horses and disciplines.
Every pre-owned saddle in our range undergoes a full inspection by experienced saddlers. We assess leather integrity, tree soundness, stitching, girthing systems, and panels — ensuring that each piece is ready to ride safely. Leading models like the CWD Classic Saddle and the Butet 17.5” Saddle are carefully cleaned, nourished, and polished before reaching our tack room.
Each saddle also receives a condition grading and is photographed from multiple angles, so Irish customers can buy with confidence — whether you're in Cork or Kildare.
Our second hand saddles come in a variety of seat sizes, tree widths, and panel styles to suit different horse conformations — from high withers to broader backs. We offer personalised fitting advice to help you select the right shape for your horse and riding goals. For added assurance, many models are eligible for our trial programme, allowing you to test ride before you commit.
Need to complete your setup? Pair your saddle with a correctly fitted girth or martingale for full tack stability and balance.
Just like a new saddle, a used one thrives with regular care. After each ride, wipe it down to remove sweat and arena dust. Condition the leather weekly to keep it supple, and always store it in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated space — especially during Ireland’s wetter seasons. Check stitching, billets, and panels regularly for wear, especially if your horse changes shape over time.
Yes, quality second hand saddles still offer excellent balance, support, and rider feel. With professional inspection and conditioning, they retain core features like ergonomic panels, responsive seats, and durable girthing systems.
Over time, leather panels naturally contour to the horse’s back. Many second hand saddles come with flexible tree and flocking designs, making them more adaptable to varying horse conformations like high withers or wide backs.
Absolutely. Many pre-owned saddles in this collection (such as models from Butet and CWD) are originally built for high-performance disciplines like showjumping and dressage, maintaining the technical features needed for serious riders.
Focus on the integrity of the leather, even wear on panels, and a sound saddle tree. A well-maintained used saddle will show minimal distortion, solid stitching, and a seat that remains structurally firm and supportive.
