What to check before buying a used show saddles

A used saddle is only a bargain if it fits. Four things are worth settling first:

The tree. The frame is the one part that cannot be put right afterwards. Ask about its condition and its width before anything else.

Fit to your horse. The tree has to match your horse’s back, not the seat size that suits you. Those are two separate questions and both matter.

Seat size for you. Half an inch out is something you feel within a few minutes of sitting in it.

Leather and stitching. Surface marks are normal on a used saddle and are often why the price is good. Dry or cracked leather at the billets and stirrup leathers is not, because those carry load.

If you are unsure about any saddle on this page, ask us before ordering. We would rather answer the question than take a return.

Used Show Saddles: common questions

Around two dozen, all in stock. Each is a single saddle rather than a stocked line.

Currently from about $565 to $4,190, with the middle of the range near $1,375. About a third are under $1,000.

Because the silver, tooling and finish that make a show saddle expensive new do not wear out the way a working saddle does. A used show saddle that has spent its life in a pen and a saddle rack is often close to its original condition at a fraction of the price.

Mostly 16" and 15", with some 15.5" and 14.5". Every listing states its seat size.

Circle Y, Billy Cook, Dale Chavez, Blue Ribbon, Silver Royal, Bona Allen and Wyoming Saddlery have all come through. Stock changes, so check the listings below.
