- Damage resulting from misuse or neglect of the product. (Please insure stitching is checked on a regular basis)
- Wear to the cosmetic binding under girth straps and leathers is unavoidable with use, it does not affect the use of the saddle.
- Barefoot saddles are handmade so can vary a little from saddle to saddle. Due to their nature, some creasing of leather around pommel, cantle, kneeroll area is sometimes unavoidable, it is not considered a fault and does not affect the use of the saddle.
- Cosmetic and appearance changes to the natural leather products are a fact of nature.
- Leather is a natural product. Scars, darkly pigmented spots, uneveness or variation in colour are all possible and considered normal therefore not considered a fault or covered by any warranty.
