Could anyone recommend a consignment tack shop near the Raleigh, NC area? I’m actively looking for a dressage saddle with full front gussets. I’m visiting my cousin in NC, and I figured I might try to look at the selection of consignment dressage saddles while I’m here. There wasnt much selection up in MD, so I’m branching out to NC while I’m here.
http://www.equestrianexchange.com/ if you are there during a sale!
(Edit - aww bummer looks like it’s only Labor Day weekend. I tried!)
M&M Tack shop is in Raleigh, they have new and used saddles. I’ve only ordered from them but they were very nice to work with.
I second M&M - they have a nice selection of good used saddles and they are great to work with.
Rocking B Saddle Shop in Hillsborough might be a good place to check as well.
A little further away in Greensboro, there is Horse and Rider which has consignment but it’s not a huge selection - if you call I’m sure they will be happy to check their stock.
You might find something on the Triangle Area Equestrians Facebook page, or the NCDCTA Facebook page from a private seller.
Good luck!
If you’re willing to travel south on Hwy 1 a bit, Barn Door Consignment in Aberdeen is lovely. They are the Middleburg Tack Exchange of the Sandhills. They’re a bit smaller than MTE, but have a good selection, and the ladies are very helpful.
There’s the Waxhaw tack exchange, but I think that’s a bit of a distance from Raleigh, but if you’re looking for something specific, you could call them.
