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.
Martin Saddlery makes a real nice saddle. They’ve gotten a bit fancy of late with slick marketing, but they still make a fine saddle and are a favorite in the competitive arena. Picking up a used Martin is a good buy.
This week’s pick is one of those good buys. It’s a 14.5″ roping saddle that has very few miles on it. So few, it looks almost new.
The seller lists all the decorative features (floral and basket tooling, padded seat, roughout jockey and fenders), but hasn’t indicated the gullet width or bar type, so you’ll want to check with them on that before you bid.
There’s some action on this saddle with 4 bids and and a current bid of $405, but there’s still an opportunity to pick up a good buy!

Double J is a very nice quality production saddle brand out of Yoakum, Texas. Their saddles start at around $1500 new. Shopping for a used one can be a great way to get a quality saddle at a very affordable price.
This week’s Pick is a well-used, but well cared for Double J roping saddle. It has a 15″ suede seat, 7 inch gullet, oak and acorn tooling, and 3″ roper stirrups. The saddle has two of Double J’s Hi Tech features – adjustable fenders and a suede skirt liner. Click through on the link below to see photos of the these features.
This is a chance to have a really well made saddle at a fraction of it’s cost new. As of this writing, the current bid is only $152.50!

The gullet measures 6 3/4" and it’s double rigged.
There’s a lot of bidding action on this saddle – 14 bids with six days still left on the auction but the price is still at only $610 as of this writing. If you’re looking for a quality roping saddle at an affordable price, you’ll want to check this one out.

Oh, we have found a real beauty this week. If you’re looking for a custom-quality working saddle at a non-custom price, this one’s for you.
Rafter W Saddlery, based in Rigby, Idaho (just down the road a bit from us here in southwest Montana), build fine, handcrafted saddles in the buckaroo tradition. The base price on their saddles is $2600 and they’re worth every penny.
Our pick this week is a year old 16" Custom Wade Roping Saddle from Rafter W. This is the personal saddle of the owner of Rafter W, Perry Ward, so you know it’s a well built saddle that’s been well cared for.
The saddle is made from Hermann Oak Leather, has a 6 3/4" gullet, in-skirt plate rigging, flower tooling, monel stirrups, bucking rolls, and matching breast collar.
There’s a lot of action on this saddle, with 10 bids in already and eight days left on the auction. The current bid, however, is still only $1525, significantly below the market value for this saddle. You might want to take a serious look at this saddle. It’s a saddle you’ll be proud to own and will enjoy riding for the rest of your lifetime.
