How Do I Look for a Used Timber Ridge Lightweight Draft Saddle?

Timber Ridge Saddlery offers custom-made lightweight draft saddles. Finding a used lightweight draft saddle can be tricky. Because the saddles are custom-made to fit a horse, the individual who ordered and purchased the saddle probably will not be inclined to sell--unless he no longer needs it. Even though the saddle was custom-made for a particular horse, it may still fit your horse. Inquire whether you can try the saddle on your horse before you purchase it.
