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.

Last week’s "Pick," the 16" Circle Y Arabian Saddle, sold for $501.50, a fair price for this rarer saddle. If you have an Arab or a horse with Arab conformation, this would have been a great buy.

This week we have another Circle Y saddle to share with you. You’ll notice that the Circle Y’s that are chosen as a "Pick of the Week" are all older models. Circle Y used to make a really fine saddle, but their newer saddles aren’t up to that quality. They’re now just middle of the road production saddles.

This week’s saddle is a Circle Y Trail Saddle with a 15" seat, semi quarter horse bars, twisted stirrups, 3 way rigging, and rough out seat. It’s seen some miles and nicely broke in, but still in very good condition. These are my favorite type of used saddle buys. A one owner saddle that has some miles on it, but has been cared for exceptionally well. Lots of great miles left in this saddle.
