                ELEGANCE IN THE RING, PRECISION IN THE FIT
    24-Point Bench Inspection. 5-Day In-Barn Trial. 6-Month Tree Warranty.

Turn Heads in the Arena 🐴

In the show ring, your saddle should never be a distraction—for you or your horse. The right show saddle gives you that quiet, centered seat so your aids stay invisible, while leaving your horse’s shoulders free to reach, snap, and carry themselves naturally over every fence and down the centerline.

At Premium Saddle Shop, we hand-select and inspect top-tier show saddles for hunters, equitation, show jumping, and dressage. Whether you’re looking for a brand-new luxury show saddle or a master-checked pre-owned show saddle from top European bench-makers, we verify every tree, panel, and billet before it ever leaves our shop.

Best of all, you don’t have to guess on the fit. With our 5-day in-barn trial, take the saddle right to your barn, ride in it, test the clearance on your horse, and get your trainer’s take before committing.

The Premium Saddle Shop Bench Standard

  5-Day In-Barn Trial  ➔  24-Point Bench Check  ➔  Insured Express Delivery

Buying a saddle online shouldn’t feel like a leap of faith. Every saddle coming into our workshop goes through a thorough 24-point bench inspection by our saddlers:

  1. Tree & Gullet Flex Check: We flex the tree under pressure to ensure there are no hidden cracks, twisting, or structural weaknesses.

  2. Billets & Load Stitching: We pull-test every billet strap and load-bearing seam for leather strength and safety.

  3. Panel Symmetry & Flocking: We check for smooth, even pressure distribution across the back, ensuring wool flocking is soft and free of hard lumps.

  4. Honest Ratings & Photos: No surprises. High-resolution photos show every detail, including normal leather break-in and cosmetic wear on used saddles.

  5. 6-Month Warranty: Every saddle is backed by our 6-month workshop structural warranty on the tree frame.

Flat, Broad Back (Warmbloods & Cobs) Wide U-shaped tree (Hoop Tree), flatter panel contact, and an open channel to prevent rolling. [Hoop Tree Show Saddles →]
Short Backs & Compact Builds Upswept panels and compact seat lengths that keep weight off the lumbar spine past the 18th vertebra (T18). [Show Saddles for Short Backs →]
Young Horses & Changing Muscle Changeable gullet systems (Bates, Wintec, Thorowgood) or repackable wool panels that adjust as your horse develops. [Adjustable Show Saddles →]

How Our 5-Day In-Barn Trial Works

  1. Pick Your Saddle  ➔  2. Insured Express Delivery  ➔  3. Ride & Fit for 5 Days  ➔  4. Keep or Return
  1. Order Your Selection: Filter by seat size, tree width, flap length, discipline, or budget.

  2. Fast, Insured Shipping: We pack and ship directly from our workshop with full tracking and insurance.

  3. Ride in Your Own Arena: Take 5 days to test the fit on your horse, try it in your normal lessons, and check your position.

  4. Decide Without Pressure: If it fits both of you, you’re all set! If it’s not quite right, package it up and send it back to our hub for a quick exchange or refund.⚠️ Fitter’s Note for Trial Rides: Please use a clean, thin saddle pad and soft stirrup leather covers (or socks over your leathers) during trial rides. This protects the leather flaps from scuffs and keeps the saddle in original trial condition.
