Selling Made Simple: SaddleFit Canada’s Consignment Saddle Service

If you’ve ever tried to sell a saddle on your own, you know how time-consuming and frustrating it can be—endless messages, lowball offers, and uncertainty about whether your saddle will actually find the right home. That’s where SaddleFit Canada’s Consignment Saddle Service comes in. We take the stress out of the selling process and give your saddle the professional exposure it deserves.

Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Getting Started

You reach out to us with the details of your saddle—serial number, pictures, the price you originally paid, and any history or extras it comes with. From there, we do the heavy lifting.

Step 2: Market Research

We contact the saddle maker directly to gather detailed information and confirm specifications. Then, we research the market to establish a fair resale value that’s competitive but realistic.

Step 3: Shipping Your Saddle

Once you’re ready, you ship your saddle to us (we recommend using shipping insurance for peace of mind). When it arrives, we carefully inspect it to ensure soundness and evaluate its condition.

Step 4: Consignment Agreement

We provide you with a clear Consignment Saddle Agreement, outlining our current commission rate. If you originally purchased your saddle through SaddleFit Canada, you’ll also enjoy a discounted commission rate as a thank-you for your loyalty.

Step 5: Preparing Your Saddle for Sale

Your saddle deserves to shine. We:

• Clean and condition it for presentation.

• Take professional studio photos that showcase its best features.

• Edit the images to highlight the saddle—never altering how it truly looks.

• Design a branded graphic for our social media platforms.

Step 6: Marketing Your Saddle

Your saddle gets maximum exposure:

• Added as a product listing on our online store.

• Shared across our large social media following.

• Posted on Facebook Marketplace and all relevant tack sale groups.

• Brought along to saddle fitting appointments, where we have clients actively searching for the right saddle.

Step 7: Matching with the Right Rider

When a saddle is a good option for a client, it can go out on trial under a signed agreement. This ensures both buyer and seller are protected.

Step 8: Closing the Sale

When your saddle sells, we handle everything: payment collection, communication, and paperwork. Once the sale is finalized, you receive your portion of the proceeds—minus our commission.
