TriedEq Acceptance Guidelines

As champions for a circular economy, our mission is to find new homes for items that still have plenty of life left but might not have been the perfect fit for you or your horse.

All items should be freshly cleaned and in good (some wear), great (minimal wear), excellent (appears new without tags), or new with tags conditions.
