Hello - has anyone done business with this company? I am looking for a used saddle, but I am on the east coast, and I have not heard of their shop before. Anyone know this shop? Thanks!
Where in California? I’ve never heard of it either.
I have never heard of it. Do you know where in CA?
ETA: I googled it and see that it’s in Ramona (Southern California). Now that I have seen the site, I think I actually looked at her stuff last year when I was looking for a dressage saddle. I have no experience personally, but there are some folks on COTH that are from that area. Maybe they will have better info for you. Good luck!
Super- thanks!
RAMONA, CA readers- anyone familiar with this shop? I’ve been burned before with consignment shops so I now ask COTHF! Thanks!
I contacted her about consigning a saddle, she was very nice and upfront about the potential of selling it. She was recommended to me from a couple of people in the dressage forum; she came with very good recommendations.
Cross post this in the dressage forum or try a search for the owner by name as she was mentioned on the thread either I had started or someone else, it was a while back.
I’m in California and have never heard of it. Thrifty Horse is the big consignment shop that everyone I know uses. They are located in Norco, which by the way is Horsetown USA.

Same here. Never heard of them, but I did buy a saddle from Thrifty Horse and had a very good experience.
Thanks!!
Yoursaddles.com has been around for a number of years, as I’ve browsed the site often, and spoken with the owner a few times about saddles, but not bought/tried as they ended up not being what I wanted. I get the impression that it is an online type shop only, not a true brick and mortar place. I’ve not heard any bad reviews of them, so at least that is in their favor. I wouldn’t totally write them off based on the lack of experience here.
ETA, did a search for yoursaddles.com on here and came up with a few recommending it for consignment, and who seemed to know the proprietor. You might do the same search and see if any of the comments are useful.

I am also on the east coast, and purchased a used Kieffer dressage saddle from this company a couple of years ago. No complaints here. Very easy to work with and the saddle came exactly as described and well-packaged for the long trip cross country.
Patricia has a very good rep. My saddle fitter knows her well. She’s legit. I have tried saddles of hers, and know people who have bought from her.
I bought my saddle from this woman. She is super nice, fair, and has nice saddles.
