Used Saddle Pick of the Week: 16″ Genuine Billy Cook Pleasure/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.

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, a very nice 15.5″ M.L. Leddy Cutting Saddle, looked like someone might steal it early on with only one bid for $100. But cream rises and this saddle ended up selling for $1875.

THIS WEEK’S PICK:

This week we’ve found a really nice Genuine Billy Cook (Sulphur, OK brand) that would be a wonderful saddle for all around general riding.

The seller calls it an “Original Billy Cook,” but the correct term is “Genuine” as you’ll see on the photo of the maker’s mark on the listing.

This is a 16″ Billy Cook Trail/Pleasure saddle. The saddle is a very handsome dark cherry color with geometric tooling on the jockeys, skirts, fork and cantle. The seller does not mention the gullet width or bar type, so you’ll want to inquire before bidding.

The saddle has obviously been very well cared for, is in great shape and not very old. An Original Billy Cook brand from the Suphur, OK operation will be a very nice quality saddle that will give you many miles.

Better jump on this one, as there are already nine bids as of this writing.
