Where to sell Tack (Saddlery)

[E38]

So my mum is looking to sell loads of horse paraphernalia, saddles, bridles etc. All good condition, and good quality bits of kit. Her last horse died last year, not looking to get another anytime soon, so she wants to sell her equipment.

Anyone know where's the best place to get this stuff sold? Ebay is the obvious answer, but she isnt very keen on the associated fees, and there must be some specialist websites/dealers/traders for this sort of thing...

Any ideas?

Horse and hound mag?

Loking at your location, is your mum also in the South West?

If she is then you could try trade it.

If shes in the south put it on NFED.

Cheers for the suggestions so far.

A good friend of mine may be interested, he run a large tack clearance shop near Oxford.

They buy up old shop stock, unwanted items etc.

Ask for Steve

SWMBO (an expert in these matters) recommends eBay.

Shops round here do sale or return which is quite good (particularly for saddles etc) think they take a 20% stake.

Sounds alot but my other half got 2x what she thought she would for 2 old saddles recently.

Maybe try a local riding school?

[Cas_P]

Could you possibly send me a list with prices? I might be interested in some things. Also I can put things on riding forums that I'm on for you if you like? How big was the horse, breed etc? Just for an idea of fit.

Mate's just launched a horse adverts site - it has a tack section. It's currently free to post an ad (with upto 5 pictures) so fill ya boots.

Although it's new, it's getting well known on the circuit, getting plenty of hits and has a good facebook following.

[Emmapuma]

ebay and signs up in local tack shops/ riding stables are your best bet.

Thanks for all your help. Will get in touch with all your contacts soon.

Might be worth giving Furringdon Feeds a ring if you're in the South West, they sell tack I believe (cetrainly used to):
