I am working on clearing out some of the accululated “stuff” in my barn.
I have 4 old tri-fold girths. My understaning is that they are of no interest to the “modern” hunter/jumper, eventing, or dressage communitie, but that they are desired by the side saddle community.
How should I go about selling / marketing / consigning them to reach the community that wants them?
If it makes a difference, I am in northern Virginia.
There are sidesaddle groups on Facebook - I’d post them there. I’ve seen saddles, clothing, tack, etc all sold there. I’m in Ontario so probably not much help but we do have a Facebook group for Ontario sidesaddle riders that you could also post in.
Yes, there’s a Sidesaddle Swap & Shop USA & Canada group that would probably be a good first place to try if you want to sell them yourself.
Both Devon and Sarah McKay do consignment and might be worth contacting to have them sell if you don’t want to deal with it yourself.
(Also, what size? I might be interested if you’ve got something in the 52" range in good shape.)
I am heading out to be a TD this weekend. I will measre the when I get back.
Thanks for the lead.
I’ve seen them on eBay, though I don’t know much about the market/pricing.
(measured from the ends of the buckles)
28" (for a saddle with long billets)
40"
51"
52"
The leather Is pretty dry from sitting (I plan to condition them), but the stitcing all looks in good shape.
