Used Saddle Pick of the Week: Custom 15.5″ Jim Taylor Reiner

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 nice little 14.5″ Vintage Saddle from an unknown maker is one of those little gems that are so fun to discover. Twelve bidders took a shot at the saddle, but the winner walked away with it for only $122.50.  A great saddle for that price.

THIS WEEK’S PICK:

This week I’ve chosen a saddle from a maker we haven’t featured before – Jim Taylor. Jim Taylor has been making quality custom saddles for nearly thirty years, specializing in reining and working cow horse saddles.

This week’s pick is a very handsome 15.5″ Jim Taylor Reining Saddle . It’s in great shape and has a lot of style with unique tooling and a light tan suede seat.

The seller doesn’t mention gullet width so make sure to check before bidding.

So far, only one smart shopper has placed a bid .. a whopping $100. This saddle is selling with no reserve, so it will sell. If you’re looking for a reining style saddle, this is one you should give serious consideration. It’s a high quality saddle that seems to be flying under the radar.
