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 quality and well cared for 15.5″ Custom Jim Taylor Reiner started off under the radar, but cream rises. There ended up being 12 bids on the saddle with a final selling price of $1275. Not a steal, but still good value for the money.

THIS WEEK’S PICK:

This week I’ve found another one of those vintage trail saddles that I love so much. This one is from Tex Tan and it’s a little gem.

This week’s pick is a really solid 15.5″ Vintage Tex Tan Saddle. It’s been really well cared for and is ready to ride.

The saddle has full floral tooling, a 6 1/2″ gullet, and only weighs 25lbs. The seller has added new Blevins buckles, saddle strings, latigo, and billets. There are quite a few photos included on the listing that provide a a really good overview of the saddle, so make sure to take a look.

This saddle already has a lot of interest with 13 bids as of this writing, but the price is still only at slightly over $150. This saddle is easily worth $300. A great saddle addition to your barn.
