Stitching Horse Saddlery - Saddle Trial Policy

The saddle not only needs to fit and be comfortable for you, but, most importantly, it needs to fit your horse. Remember, he has to wear it, you sit on it. If he is uncomfortable, you will not have a very pleasant ride.

Before the saddle is shipped, we will need to authorize your credit card for the price of the saddle. This holds the funds on your card, but does not deduct them from your account. The shipping will be charged separately, as this is not refundable. You will be responsible for the shipping to return the saddle if you decide not to keep it.

The saddle will be shipped via UPS, and a tracking number will be e-mailed to you so you can track its progress. Once the saddle arrives, you have 3 days to test ride it.

Please follow these steps to ensure the integrity of the saddle you are testing:

Please do not apply any cleaners or conditioners to a new or used saddle.

To avoid stirrup leather marks on the flaps, please cover your leathers with either tube socks with the toe cut off and secured in place with tape, or wrap them well with plastic wrap. Make sure your covers reach from the stirrup bar to the bottom of the flap.

After you have girthed the saddle, please pull the girth buckle covers down over the girth buckles.

When not being used, please keep the cover on.

Should you decide to keep the saddle, please contact the store at 609-921-6854 or e-mail us at info@stitchinghorsesaddlery.com , so we can process the sale and send you a receipt.
If the saddle does not meet your needs and you would like to return it, please let us know via e-mail or phone call. If we don’t hear from you within 24 hours after the trial return date, we will process payment for the saddle.

Cool Down Properly After a Workout

After removing the saddle, put on a light blanket or cooler if the weather is cold and windy. If a cooler isn’t available, leave the pad in place until your horse cools down slightly.

Your horse should then be offered twelve to fifteen swallows of cool water. On a hot day, hose the horse down with cool water then rub him down vigorously with a towel. Pay special attention to the area where the saddle was, as well as the neck and flanks.

Then walk the horse out to get his temperature, pulse rate and respiration rate down to a normal level. Make sure the horse is moving at a good working walk, since a sluggish horse will cool too quickly.
