Voltaire Saddle Pricing? Help!

[priceless.ottb]

Looking at buying a Voltaire saddle through a representative and have lots of questions… hoping someone will help me out.

I’m in need of a unicorn saddle. The one that seems to fit the most is the Voltaire Palm Beach. Rode in a friends, LOVED it, horse loved it too. My saddle is too narrow for my horse and too long for my leg.
I’m planning to buy a used Voltaire through a rep, however I need to know how much I need to save in case they don’t have my unicorn saddle used/demo.

I will need a saddle between 17-18 seat, and probably a size 1 flap. I want the second skin and full buffalo leather. How much would this, brand new, cost? Prices aren’t shown on the website.

How much did your Voltaire saddles cost, and what options did you have put on? (Second skin, buffalo, calf leather, etc) Thank you!!

I just ordered a new Voltaire Palm Beach. The grain option was $4800. Full calf is $5400 and buffalo is $5800. Shipping is an additional $60 I think? I went with the grain option as I ride a lot, and the leather warranty is voided if you ride more than an hour per day or something in the calf or buffalo option. I’m very excited for my new saddle! I don’t know what the second skin option costs as I did not try it.

The deposit was $1500 to order the saddle.

I got my Palm Beach full buffalo with second skin as a very lightly used demo for 4K

$5400-$5800 and you can only ride in it one hour a day to maintain the warranty? That’s insane, my grain CWD wore like iron.

So not for professionals :lol::lol::lol:

FWIW, I haven’t ever, ever heard anything about a leather warranty. It’s this something new? Is it even real?

You can’t be in the saddle for more then an hour a day!!! So the first time you go to a horse show your $5,000 saddle warranty is void?? Yikes.

Just stop in the middle of the class and dismount :lol::lol::lol: turn to the judge, “You’ve seen enough, right?”

I just bought a Palm Beach full buffalo demo this weekend and the rep did specifically bring up the warranties and how much longer I’d have left on them given that the demo is a couple years old, and he definitely did not say anything about any kind of restriction on the warranty related to how much you ride.

I just got one in on trial, fingers crossed! 18" full buffalo, second skin, 2013, palm beach for $3300.

How exactly are they going to prove how many hours per day you rode in your own saddle? I mean… really…

I got a full calf, #1 flap Palm Beach with Second Skin about 3 years ago. I paid about 3K for it lightly used. But I had been on the lookout for what I wanted, and jumped on this one – I think I got a screaming deal on it.

I just bought a Stuttgart demo from the rep in my area. A 2015, excellent condition, full buffalo 16.5 1A flap. They redid the panels for me to fit my horse. I paid $4,300 for the saddle, repanelling and shipping. I have been very happy with their customer service and love the saddle!
