The “Used Saddle Pick of the Week”

But you’ll find more great

in our Tack Shop

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 really attractive 15.5″ Billy Royal Show Saddle – ended up not being sold because the bids didn’t meet the seller’s reserve price. I think the seller was holding out for too high a price. The highest bid was $855 and, though the saddle is worth more than that, there is a glut of used saddles on the market and you’re just not going to get top dollar these days. It really is a buyer’s market right now.

THIS WEEK’S PICK:

This week, we’ve found one of those hard-to-find youth saddles. The saddle is a 13″ Youth Trail Saddle.

There’s no maker’s mark, but it appears to be a solid little saddle. And, what really stands out is that, with a 6″ gullet, it’s not just a pony saddle, but will fit a small horse. That makes it a much more versatile saddle.

The leather’s in good condition and it’s a handsome little saddle. So, if you have a youth rider in the family, this would be a great saddle to have in your barn.

The saddle is listed for a “Buy It Now” price of $299 or Best Offer. That’s a good price for this saddle.
