    SADDLE RETURNS - POLICY & GUIDELINES

    NOTE:     WE CANNOT ACCEPT RETURNS FOR USED SADDLES, USED SADDLE PADS, OR USED GIRTHS AND CINCHES.

    When you purchase a saddle from Barefoot Saddles USA, we want it to be a good fit for you and your horse. With our Saddle Return Program, you can return the saddle after one week (7 days). However, you will be charged a $100 restocking fee and you are responsible for the return shipping cost. To ensure the return is accepted, please follow our specific instructions to keep the saddle in new condition.

    When you receive the saddle, you can check its fit for both you and your horse. However, you should not ride extensively in it. Please keep the saddle clean and leave the tags attached.

    Use your own saddle pad and girth/cinch, as you cannot return a used saddle pad or girth/cinch. If you do not have a saddle pad or girth/cinch, you can request a demo saddle pad and demo girth/cinch to be sent with the saddle. If you decide to keep the saddle, you are responsible for returning the demo saddle pad and cinch.

    Place your saddle pad or the demo saddle pad and saddle on your horse. Take your time to get it settled, girth it up and assess whether it fits your horse. Please feel free to email us at [email protected] for help with saddle fit. If you do not feel the saddle is right for you and your horse at this point, put it back in the box with tags still attached.

    Place your saddle pad or the demo saddle pad on your horse, and take your time to adjust the saddle and secure the girth. Assess whether the saddle fits your horse properly. If you need assistance with saddle fitting, feel free to email us at [email protected]

    If you determine that the saddle is not right for you and your horse, please place it back in the box with the tags still attached.

    If you're happy with how the saddle fits your horse, you can sit and gently ride in it in a controlled area. Do not go on a trail ride. To protect the stirrup leathers, cover them with a tube sock, halter fleece covers, or similar materials to prevent marks and rubs on the saddle. Wear soft pants or breeches, as half chaps, full chaps, tall boots, jeans with seams, bling, and pockets can scratch and leave marks on the saddle. If you mark up the saddle, scratch it, or damage it, you will not be able to return it. Additionally, if the saddle is returned with dirt or hair on it, an additional $85 cleaning fee will be charged.


    If after one week you decide to return the saddle, email us at [email protected] to request a Return Authorization Number. Make sure to include a copy of your receipt. Pack the saddle carefully and insure it. You will be charged a $100 restocking fee. You are also responsible to pay the return shipping charges to send the saddle back to us. This process ensures that both you and future customers receive a new saddle.
