Hi there

I live in Dublin, Ireland. My 2 saddles and bridle including elasticated breastplate were stolen from my jeep in my place of work in Blackrock, Dublin. One of the saddles is an Ideal, Black 17", jumping saddle (its called a Gazelle 1550), its very forward cut and pretty much brand new. The saddle no. is 1008 (which is under the girth straps) and is worth €1400 approx. It had my flexi stirrups, girth, black numnahs etc. on it. The Ideal saddle has very padded panels i.e. chunky at the back and was specifically made for my horse as he has high withers and is 17hh! It is a very big, chunky, heavy saddle!

The 2nd saddle is a Black Wintec VSD 17", Saddle No: 741001, it also had cheese-grater stirrups on it as well as my girth and my black numnahs. My bridle is black, full and has brass fittings on it, he also stole the breastplate which was also black. If anybody hears/sees of these 2 saddles being for sale, PLEASE let me know. Can everybody keep a look out for a 2nd hand Ideal or Wintec saddle in their local tack shops. I was told that expensive saddles go straight over to the UK to tack auctions. if anybody attends these tack actions please can u keep a look out for them.

Thanks in advance!

I dont really see the difference in new or second hand tack as long as its good guality and is as descirbed.
I prefer buying second hand saddles as they are a lot more comfortable and the good old english ones last a long time if kept well!!
I am looking for a brown bridle for my tb. Full size and good condition if you have anything for sale along these lines? I recently bought a second hand saddle from my saddler but it is brown and all my other tack is black so need a matching bridle for competitions really!!

Also Preloved is very good, have bought some bits on there and also sold some bits!!
