Used Saddle Pick of the Week: 15.5″ Circle Y Show 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.

Circle Y saddles have been around for some time. Like many of the older saddle brands – the older models were the best. This week we’ve found a dandy older Circle Y for sale.

This is a 15 1/2″ Circle Y Show saddle with silver trim and a very nice equitation seat. Too many newer saddles have seats that tilt you back and force your feet out in front of you. A quality equitation seat will place you in a balanced position with your legs underneath you.

The seller says this saddle has a 6 inch gullet and full QH bars. That’s a bit narrow for full QH bars. I suspect that the bars are probably Semi QH, especially considering the age, as Semi QH bars were the norm.

This saddle has seen some use but still has many miles left to go. It’s well worn in with nicely turned stirrups. A great saddle for all around trail riding and open shows.

As of this writing, there’s already 11 bids, so it’s not going to be a sleeper, but still worth keeping an eye on.

We present the Saddle Blog’s Used Saddle of the Week:
