The Western Saddle Guide is not the seller of the saddles featured and does not make any representations about them. We encourage all potential buyers to do their own due diligence on the seller and the saddle before purchasing.

Billy Cook has long been a quality name in western saddles. However, today there are two separate Billy Cook saddle brands being marketed. One by Simco Longhorn out of Greenville, Texas. The original Billy Cook company sold the brand to Simco some years ago.

Unfortunately, these saddles haven't sustained the quality that Billy Cook is known for. After the sale to Simco, Billy Cook started a new Billy Cook brand, called Genuine Billy Cook out of Sulphur, Oklahoma. These saddles carry on the quality of the original Billy Cook brand. This distinction is important to know when you're considering a Billy Cook saddle.

This week we've found a very nice Genuine Billy Cook 16" Roping saddle. This big sturdy saddle (weighs 42lbs), has a 6 inch gullet, 27 inch skirts, suede seat and nice tooling. This is a nice looking , well-built saddle that is in great shape.

We present the Saddle Blog's Used Saddle of the Week:
