I'm Laura, founder of forest park saddlery

Through years of being an equestrian and now sharing the joy of horses with my own children, I understand that the equestrian community offers very few options for parents to access children's pre-owned riding clothes from a trusted source. 

I created Forest Park Saddlery to prioritize accessibility to the sport, sustainability for the environment, and reliability with a trusted consignment partner.

Whether your child is trying horseback riding lessons for the first time, attending pony camp or consistently showing on the A-circuit, you should have access to quality pre-owned items.

Consignment made simple

We've made our consignment process as simple as possible so you can feel good about where you send your items and what our customers purchase.

  • Step One

    Contact us using the contact form on our website. We will follow up with our Consignment Agreement for you to review and sign.

  • Step Two

    If you are located in the greater Seattle area we can arrange pickup at your barn or an agreed upon meeting place. Not local? Don't worry! We can mail you a Consignment Kit which includes a shipping bag and prepaid postage label to send your items.

  • Step Three

    Upon receiving your items, they will be inspected, cleaned, priced, and added to the website. In addition to the website, items may also be brought to pop up events, shows, and other events to sell.

  • Step Four

    When your items sell, we will notify you via email and will compensate you with the method you selected on your Consignment Agreement.
