Trial Policy

We are often asked if we have a Demo Program. We do not have a Demo program, but we do offer a Trial Policy is as follows: we ship a new saddle and your requested accessories to you, and you have 10 days from receipt of the product to be sure it works for you and your horse. In the event that you need to return the items, simply notify us for a Return Authorization number, and ship the items back to us, we recommend an insured shipping method, do not request signature. Discounted products and Special Orders DO NOT qualify for a return, Exchanges do not extend the trial period. You will receive a credit of your purchase price less initial shipping/handling charges, Please read our “Return Policy” for any additional charges. The items should be clean and in like new condition. This Trial method works well for ourselves and for our customers, since the vast majority of our customers *love* their saddles from day 1! This way there is no hassle of sending back a Demo and waiting for your New saddle as well as incurring additional shipping charges.
