LAST WEEK’S PICK:
Last week’s pick – a popular 17″ Circle Y Park & Trail Saddle – generated 5 bids and a winning sale price of $825. A good price for a good saddle.
This week we’ve chosen another very solid and longtime brand – Tex Tan Hereford. They’ve been making solid saddles for years and years.
This week’s pick is a typically Hereford handsome 15″ Tex Tan Hereford Trail Saddle. The saddle is in medium oil and has a 15″ suede padded seat and floral tooling. The rawhide-covered fiberglass tree with a 6 3/4″ gullet width. It’s in solid shape but could use an in-depth cleaning and conditioning.
This saddle is generating lots of interest with 9 bids as of this writing, but the high-bid is still only $199. A lot of folks are hoping to catch a bargain. You might try to catch one too.

LAST WEEK’S PICK:
Last week’s pick – a very solid and uncommon 16″ Vintage Crates Trail Saddle – was snapped up for a great price of $380. Deals like this one is why I love the used saddle market. You can certainly find a new saddle with a $380 price tag, but the quality of that saddle will be no where near the quality of this used Crates. And the used Crates has a longer life left in it than the new saddle.
This week we’ve chosen a really nice little Hereford Trail Saddle. Hereford has been a solid brand for decades and continues to be.
This week’s pick is a 14.5″ Hereford trail saddle that would be a great choice for a youth or small adult. Handsome but not overly flashy with a suede seat and tooled skirts. The seller doesn’t mention a gullet width or bar type, so make sure to inquire before bidding. As a smaller saddle, it probably has semi QH bars.
The saddle looks to have been well cared for and should be a good prospect for resale when outgrown. With only one bid and a high bid of only $125 as of this writing, this is a bargain waiting to be discovered.
