Important information
when buying a used SR saddle
SR Saddles and Steve Ray Gonzalez do not buy or sell used SR saddles.
If you are considering the purchase of a used SR Saddle
please note:
With any purchase of a used SR Saddle there is "NO ENTITLEMENT" to "ANY" service provided by SR Saddles or Steve Ray Gonzalez. "ANY" service to a used SR Saddle will be determined by SR Saddles or Steve Ray Gonzalez and may be provided as a courtesy to the purchaser of the used SR Saddle...for a shop fee. Fees vary depending on the type of service needed.
Each SR Saddle is individually numbered, and it's very helpful to have this number when talking to Steve about a used saddle.
When buying a used SR saddle from a private party, you first need to check with the seller for the correct rider sizing specifications on that particular saddle, with respect to seat size and length of rider leg when in the saddle.
DO NOT PURCHASE A USED SADDLE WHICH IS NOT YOUR SIZE!
Importantly, not every SR saddle can be refit to any horse. All saddles have their fit limits. You can check with SR saddles for a possible fit to your horse. A foto may be required by email.
Fitting a Used SR Saddle to your horse will cost from $120-$150, plus return shipping. Additionally, you will need to send Steve a plaster cast of your horse's back. Steve can send you the plaster rolls you will need for your casting for $35 plus shipping.
The used SR Saddle may be worn or damaged from its use, and may require additional work (and cost) before the refitting process. Steve won't know what work your used saddle may require until he can examine it himself. For example, if the sheepskin is torn, not allowing a refit, the sheepskin will need to be replaced before the refit can be done to the saddle.
