LAST WEEK’S PICK:
Last week’s pick – a 15″ Vintage Tex Tan Hereford Pleasure Saddle – generated a lot of action with 37 total bids. These vintage pleasure/trail saddles are really popular, and for good reason. This saddle ended up selling for $312.77, a fair price.
THIS WEEK’S PICK:
This week we’ve found a really nice barrel racing saddle from Cactus Saddlery. This saddle is from their signature series – a 14.5″ Charmayne James Barrel Saddle. Charymayne James is a world champion barrel racer.
The saddle is in like-new condition with obviously very few rides on it. It’s a really attractive saddle - medium oil with acorn, leaf, and barbwire tooling, rough out jockeys and fenders for grip, and a light pink suede seat to add a bit of pizazz for the competition arena.The seller says the gullet width is 7 inches.
Cactus Saddlery makes a nice saddle and this one is in great condition. This would be a very nice saddle for a youth or small adult for competitive events or a bit of light trail riding.
As of this writing, there are only 2 bids and a high bid of $102.50.

LAST WEEK’S PICK:
Last week’s pick – a very solid 15″ Tex Tan Hereford Trail Saddle – ended up being a darn good bargain for some lucky buyer. With 16 bids in, the winning bidder still ended up only paying $285 for this very nice saddle – A bonafide bargain.
THIS WEEK’S PICK:
This week we’ve found a real jewel – a hard-to-find Genuine Billy Cook (Sulphur, OK) youth saddle. This saddle is a 12″ Billy Cook Barrel Saddle and it’s a great little ride. It’s hard to find used youth saddles from a quality brand such as Genuine Billy Cook.
The saddle has basket weave tooling, rough out fenders and jockeys and a suede seat. There’s an amateur repair on one fender but, while ugly (you could have a professional do a better repair), it doesn’t affect the stability of the saddle.
This would be a great saddle for a youth rider, especially one who rides in competitive events.
Like last week’s gem, this saddle is generating quite a few bids at low bid prices. As of this writing, there are 13 bids but a high bid price of only $102.50. This one could be a real steal.

When you’re shopping the Billy Cook saddle brand, make sure you’re getting a Genuine Billy Cook saddle. Genuine Billy Cooks will have “Sulphur, OK” on the maker’s mark.
This week’s saddle is a gently used Genuine Billy Cook 15″ Barrel saddle. Like all Genuine Billy Cooks, this is a solid, well-crafted saddle. It’s also a very nice looking saddle with oak leaf tooling on the skirts and fork, suede seat, and rough out fenders and jockeys, for extra grip. The saddle has Quarter Horse bars and 7/8 in-skirt rigging.
With their deep seats, many folks find barrel saddles to be comfortable trail saddles. This one is worth taking a look at. With six bids, as of this writing, a number of folks agree.

This week we’ve found a real bargain. Pay attention to this one because it seems to be slipping through the cracks. The current bid (as of this writing) is only$10.51!!
The Pick this week is a very nice Blue Ridge barrel racing saddle. Blue Ridge is an older brand that doesn’t seem to get a lot of notice, but, like Dakota, it is a solid, no-frills saddle line. Well built saddles for a good price.
The saddle is a well-broken in, but still in good condition, 15″ barrel racing saddle with a 7″ gullet. It has rough out fenders and side jockeys and a basket tooled skirt.
Lots of great miles left on this saddle. At the price, it would make a nice extra saddle to have around the barn.
