Return shipping back to the customer will be paid on the 1st exchange at the Company's expense; thereafter all shipping costs will be borne by the customer.
Saddle
Fitment: By purchasing from us you receive service and advice that is unparalleled within the industry. Most of our current Kimberley Series and Down Under models have adjustable saddle trees, whereby we can adjust the saddle to fit nearly any kind of horse ...big or small. When we receive your wither tracing we match it to the saddle you have chosen and adjust the saddle as necessary (for wither tracing details, see our web page about saddle fitment). If you are unsure of the saddle fit after you receive your saddle, post or email some photographs of the saddle on the horse, with the horse in a normal upright position. The photos should be from the side, from the front at a 45 degree angle, and from the back at a 45 degree angle. We will contact you within (48) hours of receiving the photographs to advise you if the fitment is correct. If the fitment is correct you can feel secure knowing that you and your horse have many years of riding pleasure to look forward to.
What
if I make a mistake with the wither tracing? After viewing the photographs we will advise you if you have the saddle correctly positioned on the horse and if the saddle fitment is correct. If the saddle fitment is not correct we offer each customer who orders directly
from Down Under one saddle tree adjustment at no charge, any time during the first year of ownership. This is a $60 value. You send the saddle to us freight pre-paid, along with a note with your phone number and return delivery address, we will adjust the saddle tree to suit the wither tracing and we will pay the return shipping back to you. Please call (720) 753 6737 in advance, in order for us to issue you with a return authorization code. Please allow up to five work days for the adjustment, plus the return shipping time.
Return Policy/30 Day Money Back Guaranty: You may return an item for any reason whatsoever. All goods must be returned in original new condition within 30 days of the invoice date and the refund amount excludes all delivery and or shipping charges. Clearance and used goods must be returned in the same condition that they were received. Please phone (720) 975-9290 in advance for return authorization code before returning any goods; without this code your return will not be accepted. Make sure the return authorization code is clearly marked on the topside of the return carton.
If exchange or refund merchandise is not returned in original unused condition, a cleaning charge will be assessed. If the goods have apparent wear from usage your return will be adjusted by a minimum of 15% to allow us to resell the item at a reduced price. If the goods have been used or damaged to the extent that they cannot be resold, no exchange or refund will be allowed. If the goods you are returning have been altered or modified in anyway, this will immediately terminate any exchange of return provision offered above.

Lay Away Program: Goods may be put on our layaway program with a 25% down payment and 25% monthly payment. The product will be shipped once the final payment is made.

Special and Custom orders refer to any order that was ordered from the factory, for the customer on the customer's behalf.

Warranties: All new saddles sold by Down Under Saddle Supply Inc. are covered by the following product warranties.

The
above warranty does not cover any other part of the saddle including
the saddle horn, kneepads, stirrup bars, crupper bar, stitching
and decorative trim, it only covers the saddle tree itself. The
saddle tree is the most integral part of the saddle; it is the
frame upon which the saddle is built. All shipping charges incurred
under the warranty are the responsibility of the purchaser.
A
Safety tip from Down Under:
Horse
riding can be extremely enjoyable, but also dangerous. We recommend
that you carefully check all equipment before riding. If in doubt,
replace immediately. It is essential to maintain your saddle
and tack regularly using our recommended oils and waxes. Check
all stitching, stirrup leathers, stirrups, overgirth, girths,
billet straps and all tack items each time before riding. We
also suggest an approved safety helmet and safety vest be worn
at all times when riding.
