Where can i buy 2nd hand riding gear?

Question

where can i by 2nd hand riding gear .. ? [ not eby]

Answer 1

Some tack stores will sell things on consignment, and you can pick up some used gear fairly decent.

Good call on not using eBay... I bought a saddle off eBay, that didn't fit my TBX right. By the time you pay for shipping, returns, more shipping.... it's cheaper to buy brand new.

Answer 2

Around here, almost all of the tack shops have a consignment section.  Good deals can usually be found there.  Otherwise, try craigslist, keep an eye out for horse tack swap meets, put up a "wanted" ad at the feed or tack store or your stable, etc.

Answer 3

A lot of tack shops have second hand gear. I sell some of my old stuff at my local tack shop, and buy some stuff too. It also depends a little on if your looking for tack or clothes.

Answer 4

Tacktrader.com is a good place to search.  

Answer 5

you can try horse sales and news papers also craigs lists and pawn shops. but be sure of the quality.

Answer 6

i go to tack swaps. they are for 4Hers and happen about once every few months. like a huge horsey garage sale. if your not in 4H, you local tackstore might have them or maybe sometimes on amazon? not sure, but i like the tack swaps best!

good luck! hih!

Answer 7

try craigslist.com you can find some great deals there

Answer 8

I would look on craigslist.com they usally sell used tack on that!

Good luck!  

Answer 9

I would check out your local feed/tack stores message boards.  You can see adds there for folks trying to buy/sell horses and equipment.

Also check the throwaway papers.

Too bad you don't want to use ebay, I've bought several items there and have not paid overly for them.
