The “Used Saddle Pick of the Week”

Every week we scour the Internet searching for a particularly juicy bargain on a high quality used western saddle and feature it here on the WSG Saddle Blog. The saddles featured are listed for sale on ebay as of the date of the post.

Checking out our Picks each week will give you some great insight into buying used saddles. Make sure to click through to the actual listing to see all of the photos and description from the seller.

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.


LAST WEEK’S PICK:

Last week’s Pick, a classy 16″ Circle Y Show Saddle, generated 15 bids. The final selling price was $840. A good buy. Someone is all set for show season.

This week our pick comes from a small, quality maker. Carl Ammerman has been building quality custom and semi-custom saddles for thirty years. His saddles are very solid, substantial saddles with top-notch craftsmanship. Nothing flimsy about their saddles.

This week’s pick is a rock solid and handsome 2006 16″ Ammerman Roping Saddle . This saddle has full quarter horse bars, full acorn tooling, and a suede seat. The seller states that it’s never been roped off. The saddle appears to be in great condition.

The seller has only included one photo in their listing but states that they have many more available by email. Make sure to ask for them prior to bidding. I’d ask for photos of the underside fleece lining, close up of the Ammerman manrk, and photo from the off side.

This is a very nice saddle that would be a great all-around saddle for someone for a lifetime.
