Saddle Trade-In Program

Saddle Trade-In Program

Upgrade your saddle without starting from scratch.

The SaddleFit Canada Saddle Trade-In Program allows riders to trade in a quality, well-maintained saddle and apply its value toward the purchase of a new saddle — all while keeping horse comfort, fit, and long-term soundness at the centre of the process.

This program is designed for riders who want a smarter, more sustainable way to upgrade without navigating the stress, uncertainty, or time commitment of private resale.


How the Saddle Trade-In Program Works

  1. Apply for a Trade-In
    Submit your saddle details using our online trade-in form, including brand, model, age, and clear photos.

  2. Preliminary Review
    We assess brand demand, condition, and resale potential and provide a non-binding estimated value range.

  3. Inspection
    Your saddle is inspected in person or upon arrival if shipped.

  4. Final Trade-In Value
    Once approved, a final trade-in value is confirmed.

  5. Apply Credit Toward a New Saddle
    Your trade-in value is applied directly to your new saddle purchase.


What Saddles Are Eligible for Trade-In

To ensure quality and safety, eligible saddles must:

  • Be from a recognized, quality saddle brand

  • Have a sound tree and structurally intact panels and billets

  • Be in good to very good condition

  • Be suitable for resale, rental, or professional use

Not eligible:

  • Saddles with broken or compromised trees

  • Significant structural damage or excessive wear

  • Mold, neglect, or improper storage damage

  • Saddles outside of current resale demand

All trade-ins are accepted at the sole discretion of SaddleFit Canada.


How Trade-In Value Is Determined

Trade-in value reflects current wholesale resale value, not private sale pricing. Factors considered include:

  • Brand and model demand

  • Age and overall condition

  • Cost of reflocking, servicing, or refurbishment

  • Current market conditions

This ensures fair pricing while allowing us to maintain high standards for every saddle that re-enters circulation.


How Trade-In Credit Can Be Used

  • Trade-in credit can be applied toward the purchase of a new saddle only

  • Credit has no cash value and is non-transferable

  • Trade-in credit must be used within a specified timeframe

  • Certain promotions or discounts may not be combined

Once credit is applied, ownership of the traded saddle transfers to SaddleFit Canada.


Fit Comes First

Every trade-in program through SaddleFit Canada is rooted in one principle: the saddle must work for the horse and rider.

A saddle fitting is required before finalizing any trade-in credit to ensure the new saddle provides correct balance, comfort, and long-term support.

This protects your investment and your horse.
