While I have had to reduce my riding to a hair above "none", I'm still interested in saddles. Especially the way you present it - in "plain English!" Best regards!

So, I am selling this saddle, but I don't know much about type or make etc... I posted a pic on Craigslist in Salem, Oregon. The saddle maker says "Action Company". How can I tell if is just a pleasure saddle vs. some type of special saddle, like a barrel saddle, etc...??? Just having a hard time identifying it.

I have some old but well cared for western saddles and need to find them good homes. I have a 1967 tooled with padded seat M.L. Leddy 14" Barrel Saddle, a 15" smooth leather saddle made in Bastrop Texas at Texas Saddlery, a 15" from Joshua Texas made by Lee's Saddle and Tack. Then there is the really old JC Higgins (Our pledge of Superior Saddlery)with tapederos and all. How do I price these? Thanks for your help.

There's a whole group of these new saddle brands that have relatively generic names that sure seem to me like they're intended to fool people. The number of brands that use the words "Circle", "Silver", "Royal" and "King" in them seems a bit too many to be coincidence. And when you try to research who the company is behind the brand, you often end up with a dead end. For Circle S, the best I can come up with is Shiloh Tack, which appears to be a distributor for the brand. http://www.shilohtack.com/ If the maker of a saddle appears to be hiding, I think they're tring to tell me something.
