Some e-bay stores will allow you to return the item if it does not fit or work out. Unless you can find someone in your area, most folks will not ship a saddle out without payment in full.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but looking at it through a retailer's eyes, there are just too many ways a seller can get "stiffed" sending something out for preapproval.

Try want adds in your area.

Best of luck.

I will have to say good luck to you finding a devocoux under $3000 used (just the same with a Luc Childrec), Butets you MIGHT be able to find for around $2500 used and Prestige's normally are set at around $2500 used.

Try looking at local tack shops and see what they have for consignment. They will offer test rides but no saddle fittings for used saddles. Also, don't jump on the first one that you find - you may have to wait for a little while before you find the saddle that you want for the price that you can afford.

It kind of depends on where you live you can look up tack stores in your area. I just want to give you a tip if you own ahorse of your own you might want a western saddle too they are a little more comfortible on pleasure rides as long as you don't plan on jumping.

i have one believe it or not. and if i could find a saddle to do endurance riding i'd be more then willing to sell it for at cost of the other saddle. what area are you in? because i know of some tack stores that sell good ones. . . i believe i didnt pay more then 1,000 for mine. tween 500-800, used and fit all my horses. it's a stubben saddle and they're the best in my oppinion.

In addition to checking their sites I would try contacting them to let them know what you are looking for. They my be able to let you know other places to try or let you know if they get somethi
