Saddles To Boots

I thought this place was great. I spent about 4 hours looking for a saddle and a few other things and left with four saddles to try and the Wintec measuring thingy that the shop let me borrow. I ended buying a $ 1200 (new price) dressage saddle for $ 350. I liked saving the money. The staff was helpful, I made an offer on a saddle, staff person called the owner and the owner accepted. This place also has tons of blankets! I don’t blanket, but like to have one around for cooling a sweaty horse on cold days– cost me $ 20. Love this place. If you buy a saddle online, if it doesn’t fit you have to pay return shipping or possibly spend a couple hundred having a saddle fitter make it fit. So glad that this place here. A great way to support fellow horse people, small business and stop unnecessary manufacture of more saddles.

I love this place! I have found everything from saddles, bits, boots, helmets, riding pants, and more all for a great price. I have also sold items and been very happy. The staff is so sweet & there is so much to choose from! Hooray!

Don’t know how anyone could do anything other than rave about Saddles to Boots. Rhonda and Michelle and all the staff just totally rock, and I’ve never failed to find great products at the store (saddles especially). If they don’t have what you are looking for, they will order it. Michelle is a complete doll and goes above and beyond for a charitable organization I work with. I don’t know why some Unilocalers complain about the pricing-I’ve always found great deals on saddles, and have found really rare yet fabulous things here. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and go out of their way to help you find what you are looking for (even if you don’t know what that is when you arrive). Love the people, love the merchandise, love the place…

I love this place, I’ve saved so much money by shopping here. Bev and Rhonda are very laid back and kind. Got great advice on buying a saddle here. Thanks for providing this service!

I used to love this store when I was younger, I remember things being reasonably priced and having good service (Back in 2009), however I went back just the other day and had horrible service and almost all their saddles were over priced… The woman on the floor asked my seat size and then proceeded to tell me that I «was wrong and should be in a much bigger seat.» (I ride in a 14 and she said she I should be in a 15 – 16, keep in mind I ride barrels and am rather small so I really need help staying in.) I think this place is great for the little things like halters and brushes but I recommend Martins or California horse supply for better service and prices…

I find all my daughter’s riding boots and show gear here. I am so thankful it is available as she grows out of things each season! I love the fact that I can resell her outgrown horse gear here too. A very sweet salesperson, Bev, spent at least 45 minutes helping my daughter find a used pair of show boots that fit! She was so great!

This place was like a childhood dream come true! I was an avid collector of Breyer horses in the late 80s– early 90s and I always hoped that I would find vintage Breyers at flea markets, but never did. Without the Internet, discontinued Breyers seemed so mysterious. Saddles to Boots has a great collection of older Breyers! It was so cool to go in and see them. Thank you!

I am giving Saddles to Boots a one star rating because of outrageous prices, especially on their used saddles. I am not a western rider but I wanted a western saddle for comfortable trail riding. I decided a nice used western saddle would be a good choice (instead of a new one) so I made my way to Saddles to Boots. When I walked in I was pleasantly surprised to see a sea of nice looking used western saddles. I started to look with a $ 400 budget. I figured I would be able to find what I was looking for. I could not find one used saddle for under $ 700! Most were over $ 1000 and some were very expensive and in very bad condition. I looked up some brands and styles on my phone while I was there and the new versions of the ones I was looking at we’re on average $ 300 – 500 less than the old used versions they had for sale. This does not make sense at all. Apparently the saddles are on consignment but I think most horse people know what their used tack is worth. The dressage saddles and jumping saddles were also badly overpriced. I found a beautiful new saddle online for $ 404 with all the right measurements and great reviews. Also, they did not ask me if I needed help once while I was there. They stood behind the counter the whole time I was there, about 45 min. I recommend California Horse Supply.

Worst service ever. The owner, Michelle, is extremely arrogant and not as knowledgable as she thinks she is. The place was empty but getting service difficult. Prices were not that competitive, especially on used goods. I recommend you stick to Calif Iranians Horse Supply where the service is excellent and the staff helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Steer clear of this dive and it’s rude owner.

So weird that one Unilocaler said it was expensive… I wonder if you asked if they would price match? Anyway thats too bad but —
I have to say, Ive really scored here. Repeatedly. Ive brought a couple friends here and they have scored as well. The ladies always make me laugh and are always helpful.
If they cant help, chances are another customer hanging about the shop can.
I really like this shop — horses are a hobby to me and while they can get super expensive this place keeps it pretty real. In the market for a used saddle and will most likely get it here they usually have a large selection of high end dressage saddles at pretty good prices.
Love you gals!

As a local horse person and trainer I like to shop the local horse stores and support them and also encourage my clients to do the same, but this store is so EXPENSIVE!!! They are a second hand store yet still sell all their merchandise at full retail price or even higher. Went to buy a few things and ended up going home and placing an order online instead because it would cost me $ 40 less. Really a bummer that I can’t say I will support or spread the word around for this store.

Owning a horse is expensive and thank goodness for Saddles to Boots.
Lots of used tack, saddles, boots and all other sorts of horse stuff. I find the staff to be helpful and easy to work with.

The owner and staff are so rude and act put off every time you ask them a question. The tack is overpriced for being used, and they don’t accept returns. You can get better deals and service online.

I am in disbelief right now as to how horrible the customer service is at this establishment. First off, I did not receive a greeting upon entering when the two women chatting with an older man clearly saw me. I guess they were too busy talking about a trip they just went on (which I overheard). I continued to look around since I did go there with a list of items I was planning on purchasing. Not once was I acknowledged or asked if I needed any help whatsoever. After walking around the entire store looking around I decided to leave and go somewhere my business would actually be appreciated. Even when walking out, they STILL didn’t say a word to me. I will NEVER go here again!

I’m puzzled by the reviews for this place that were rather poor? I’ve always been greeted promptly and courteously, and they typically have a great selection of items, and none of the snooty attitude some businesses within the Equine Industry possess. On numerous occasions, my wife has tried out saddles, and just recently one of my wife’s used saddles was sold by them on consignment. I can’t speak from the feminine perspective, but as a guy I really like a store without a bunch of pretense, a store with a constantly changing varied inventory. Many items associated with horses are expensive, hand crafted durable items, and it often makes sense to look for a good used item rather than spending more money for a new product. Face it, the old school craftsman of yesterday aren’t as prevalent anymore, a well kept 20 year old vintage saddle is often better quality than one of today’s new ones. My wife and I will continue to do business here!

Excellent customer service! Some things are better to buy in-​person than online. I almost purchased a too-​short girth and too-​big hoof boots and they caught my mistake by just asking a few questions at check out. Then she walked me back over to the racks to see if we could find a better fit. They even allowed me to use their cardboard and scizzors to cut out a tracing for the hoof boots to simulate a rigid hoof better than my piece of paper. I really admire them for caring enough to help me make the right purchase, for being knowledgable about the products and walking me through evaluating the potential fit. I wound up keeping the hundred bucks and not spending money on the wrong size girth and boots. When it comes to fitting the horse and rider, the online deal can’t compare to a live person with stuff you can handle and measure. I trust them and I highly recommend Saddles to Boots.

I went to saddles to boots for my first time a few months ago looking for a saddle, blanket, bit and bridle. I walked in the door and everyone behind the counter just stared at me. I brushed it off at first thinking they might have just been busy at the moment, but I was there looking around for about 30 mins at least and no one ever even asked if I wanted some help. I never went back. The prices were waaaay too high as well. I was very un impressed with the whole place. Especially the rude staff.

This place has great used saddles but the last three times I’ve went in there looking, the staff doesnt even greet me, when I’ve asked if they have something they don’t even go look in the area. Seems like they’d rather not be bothered. I’ll go to california horse supply with the friendliest service I’ve ever had!

This store has everything including knowledge. Any part or saddle or blanket they have all of them. The consignment area is fabulous, all kinds and sizes. My husband is terrified whenever I go there.

I live in the Bay Area and make this a destination whenever I go north up 101. It is easy to get to going west on Hwy 12, the people are friendly and helpful and have a great selection of interesting items, lightly used and new. DO NOT GO to the Website, see below.
DO NOT GO to the Website. It was from the former owner and the current owners cannot take it down although they are trying. The website is a known trojan and malicious software site. Somehow it was taken over by a bad hacker.
I found some muck boots that actually fit and were broken in for ¹⁄₃ of the original cost. I found most anything I wanted and enjoyed not paying full retail for things that will look lightly used by my own use in a couple of weeks.
