Dressage Saddle Billet Replacement

Dressage Saddle Billet Replacement is an Equishop service for replacing worn, stretched or damaged girth straps, also known as billets. We fit the new billets using the correct attachment method to preserve the saddle's proper function.

Price: PLN 195 for one billet, PLN 350 for 2 billets on one side, or PLN 600 for the full set of 4. Your chosen transport charge is added to the service price: no charge for personal drop-off and collection, PLN 50 for one-way courier delivery, or PLN 100 for courier transport both ways.

When should you replace the billets on a dressage saddle?

Replacement is appropriate when the billets are worn, stretched or damaged. We agree the scope of work after assessing all 4 billets on the saddle.

We strongly recommend replacing the full set of 4 billets, or at least all 2 on one side. Although single-billet replacement is available for PLN 195, we strongly advise against choosing this option.

Used billets stretch and change over time. A new billet may therefore differ from the others in length, elasticity and the way it behaves under load. Replacing the full set, or all the billets on one side, helps keep their characteristics as consistent as possible.

Choose the replacement scope

• One billet — PLN 195. Replacement of a single girth strap. Available, but strongly discouraged because of the differences between a new billet and the used ones.
• One side of the saddle — PLN 350. Replacement of all 2 billets on the left or right side. This is the minimum scope we recommend.
• Whole saddle — PLN 600. Replacement of the full set of 4 billets across both sides. This is our recommended option and costs PLN 100 less than ordering each side separately.

We confirm the final scope of work after assessing all the billets.

Frequently asked questions

How much does billet replacement on a dressage saddle cost?

One billet costs PLN 195, all 2 billets on one side cost PLN 350, and the full set of 4 costs PLN 600. Optional courier transport costs an additional PLN 50 one way or PLN 100 both ways.

Can I order replacement of just one billet?

Yes, this is available for PLN 195, but we strongly advise against it. We recommend replacing all 4 billets, or at least all 2 on one side. We assess every billet before agreeing the work.

Why do you advise against replacing a single billet?

Used billets stretch and change over time. A new billet may therefore differ from the others in length, elasticity and the way it behaves under load. Replacing the full set, or all the billets on one side, helps keep their characteristics as consistent as possible.

Do all 4 billets have to be replaced?

We recommend the full set, but replacing all 2 on one side is also an option. We agree the final scope after assessing all the billets on the saddle.

Where is the work carried out?

At Equishop Service Centre, ul. Oświęcimska 9, Ruda Śląska, Poland. You can drop off and collect your saddle in person or use the available courier options.
