Appointment & Consultation
You arrange an appointment with your Saddle Me expert. Together, you will discuss which model and configuration suits your situation.
Step 2
Calculate rate
Use the online calculator at rent.saddleme.com to transparently determine your individual monthly rate — based on model, term, and down payment.

Rent & Ride
After signing the contract, you will receive your saddle including a saddle inspection and handover protocol. Saddle Me Safe ensures complete coverage throughout the entire rental period.
Why rent instead of buy?

What the rental model offers.

The rental model makes our quality accessible — without capital commitment when purchasing.
01
Predictable monthly rate
No tied-up capital — you pay a fixed monthly amount including VAT instead of a large one-time expense.
02
Comprehensive insurance included
Damages due to accident or unforeseen events are covered — 0 € deductible, no separate contract, no additional costs.
03
No resale risk
At the end of the term, you simply return the saddle. No listings, no depreciation, no hassle.
04
Personal expert support
Handover and return are carried out personally by a Saddle Me expert. Saddle service is provided as usual through your Saddle Me expert.
05
End of rental: Return or purchase
After the rental period, the saddle transitions into our used saddle pool. If you are interested, an expert can provide a personalized purchase offer after an assessment.
06

Situations

Who is this particularly beneficial for?

Real situations where the rental model makes a difference.
01
Young horse in training

Young horses undergo significant muscle development during their initial training years. What fits today may no longer be optimal in 12 months. Renting instead of buying provides flexibility exactly when it's needed most.

02
Horse in recovery or after surgery

After an injury or surgery, many things are uncertain. The rental model gives you access to premium equipment without having to make a long-term purchase decision in an uncertain situation.

03
Starting a new discipline

Anyone switching from dressage to show jumping or vice versa — or who isn't yet sure which discipline they'll pursue — can avoid a costly misinvestment in the wrong saddle by renting.

04
Premium Equipment Without Upfront Investment

High-quality riding saddles cost several thousand euros. The rental model gives you access to first-class equipment with a predictable monthly rate — without burdening your budget all at once.

Rent vs. Financing

Two ways — one clear difference.

Both models allow for a premium saddle without a large one-time payment. The difference lies in the goal: temporary use or ownership.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about saddle rental.

What happens at the end of the term?

By default, the saddle is returned via your Saddle Me expert. The saddle then enters our used saddle pool, which our entire Saddle Me expert network has access to. If you are interested, you can contact one of our experts after the rental period — they will then check if a personalized offer is possible for you.

Are repairs and service included?

No, repairs and adjustments are generally not included in the rental and are charged separately. However, if the damage is covered by the comprehensive insurance according to the insurance agreement, the insurance will cover the costs.

Why is a credit check required?

The credit check (SCHUFA) enables us to offer fair and transparent conditions. It protects both you and Saddle Me Rent and ensures a trusting and cooperative relationship between you and Saddle Me Rent.

Is a one-time payment mandatory?

No, a one-time payment is not mandatory. Many of our customers choose not to make a one-time payment. The one-time payment is fully credited towards the total rental amount and proportionally reduces the monthly installments. The one-time payment is a maximum of 50% of the total rental amount.
