Inspect saddles, reins, stirrups, etc. for wear on the stitching and on the leather.
Make sure the leather has not gone hard or dry.
The softer the leather the better.
Only buy helmets and body protectors that have recognised safety marks such as Kitemarks.
Always ask the seller questions about both equipment and horse, especially the reasons for sale.
Sellers only have to give the information asked of them.
