Used Saddle Pick of the Week: 14" Vintage Simco Trail Saddle

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.

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.

Oh, I am such a sucker for the great old saddle brands of yesterday - Tex Tan, Bona Allen, and Simco, among others. They were just such great using saddles and they are still solid today and are very affordable.

This week we've found a unique little Simco gem. It's a smaller saddle with round skirts and oversized swells that were popular mid last century. This is a saddle with some style, and it's been lovingly cared for.

This is a saddle for a youth or smaller adult and a smaller horse. With a narrow gullet and a short skirts, this would be a good fit for a short-backed horse with narrow shoulders.

It would also just be a nice little saddle to add to your collection. As of this writing, there's only one bid for $99.
