Saddle Trial Policy

All in stock, used and demo saddles are available for trial.

Trials are 5 days in duration and are available both locally and by mail.  In order for you to take a saddle on trial you must agree to the following terms.
  1. Prospective buyer agrees to pay all shipping charges (both to and from Peak Saddles/Dr. McCoy).
  2. Prospective buyer agrees to pay for saddle and shipping to them in full prior to saddle being shipped out.   (This can be done via an online/emailed credit card invoice generated by square).  Shipping charges vary based on location - West Coast $75 to East Coast $105.
  3. Any Distance or out of state prospective buyer agrees to be refunded saddle cost minus round trip shipping and a $100 charge upon return of a saddle in the same condition.  This charge compensates Peak Saddles, MVVS and Dr. McCoy for the length of time a demo is not available while shipping and on trial with you.  
  4. Prospective buyer agrees to return or ship the saddle back to May Valley Vet within 5 business days of delivery.  (As confirmed by tracking number if not a local trial.)
  5. Prospective buyer agrees to return the saddle in the same condition they received it in (as documented by photos if necessary).  Any damages that affect the structure, function and salability of the saddle will be deducted from the cost of the saddle and only the remaining value will be refunded.  This includes damage incurred while shipping not covered by insurance.
  6. Prospective buyer may be subject to a restocking fee of a minimum of 15% of the saddle price if any trial saddles are held longer than trial period stated on this webpage.  Refunds for any portion of the value of the saddle will only be issued once the saddle is returned.

It is recommended that you cover your leathers with tube socks or similar soft protective barrier when trying any new saddles or saddles of different color than your leathers in order to prevent wear or color staining of the saddle while on trial.
