DEPOSITS & FEES:

The deposit for each order is $250. We do not accept any more than this amount. The remainder of your balance is due when your saddle is complete and ready to ship. All virtual fittings require a non refundable $50 fee unless an order form is submitted within 30 days of recieving your virtual review.

Order deposits and virtual fitting fees are taken through Square via credit card payment. Please, use the buttons below to pay your deposits and fees.

IN STOCK SADDLES:

It is extremely rare that we have in stock saddles. If we do have some in stock, they will be posted on the Facebook group Robbie Phillips Saddlery In Stock & Updates. If nothing is posted, chances are we have nothing in stock. The best way to buy a saddle is by submitting a custom order, or purchasing one out of our booth when we’re set up at a show.

RETURNS & EXCHANGES:

All returns are accepted on a case by case bases, and no returns are eligible for partial or full refunds. Instead, Robbie will work with you to remake or find the right saddle to exchange yours with. If you wish to return your saddle in exchange for another, you must contact us within 30 days of receiving the saddle. Please include details of the issues you are experiencing.

It’s rare that we have saddles in stock, so expect a waiting period while your new saddle is being made. If Robbie feels as though your horse may difficult to fit, he may require to see your horse in person to ensure the fit will be correct.

Saddles must be in new condition with no damage or major signs of wear to be eligible for returns and exchanges. Any saddle with personalization is NOT eligible for returns and exchanges, no exceptions. Personalization includes initials, brands, etc permanently placed on the saddle via tooling, stamping, or paint.

RISE:

All saddles are made on the same rise.

RUSH FEE:

For an additional $250, you can have your saddle completed in 4 weeks. You must check yes in the Rush Orders section of your order form.

SEATS:

Padded seats are exactly true to size, hard seats will sit slightly bigger. Padded seats can come in a variety of colors, and we can usually find any color suede at the leather supply. If you want a unique color, please put a note in the specialty design box of your order form.

SWELLS:

Our cut out swells add an inch of room in the thigh opening. Robbie normally suggests sizing down in your seat to compensate, but others have preferred it to stay the same.

PAYMENT PLANS:

At this time, we do not offer payment plans.

TREES, GULLETS, AND BAR ANGLES:

Our standard trees come with certain gullets and bar angles. The lower the bar angle number, the flatter the bars. If the bar angle is ever changed for a custom tree it will be stamped. All stamps are located under the left fender.

Standard Stamp Example:

6.75 5-22 E

{6.75} is the gullet. It’s a standard tree so the bar angle didn’t change. {5-22} is the date the saddle was made, and {E} is the initial of the guy in the shop who made it.

Custom Stamp Example:

6.75 40 5-22 E

{6.75} is the gullet. {40} it the bar angle. {5-22} is the date the saddle was made, and {E} is the initial of the guy in the shop who made it.

WAIT TIME:

Orders are shipped 8 weeks out. Please, don’t ask for an update before the 6 week mark. We will not be able to give you an update until then.

WEIGHT:

Our saddles average 30lbs. No design, tree, etc changes that. We do not offer lightweight saddles.

WARRANTY:

Trees come with a 5 year warranty. Leather work comes with a 1 year warranty. Any damage caused by pressure applied to a tree while using the saddle properly will be covered by the warranty. Any damage to a tree caused during the event of a vehicle or horse related accident including, but not limited to, events where a horse flips or gets hung up while wearing the saddle will not be covered by the tree warranty.
