14.5″ Vintage Billy Royal Equitation Western Saddle

This Billy Royal was made back when things were made right. This one has some of the prettiest tooling we’ve ever seen. This is an older saddle, but while used, has been well cared for. In fact, this saddle has been in the same family since it was new! Measures 15″ to stitching, however fits true to 14.5″  with that nice deep seat and raised twist. In what is called an Equation style, designed for every day riding but a bit prettier. On what appears to be QH Bars that measure 6.5″ with a wider shoulder flare, flatter through the bars, and moderate to low wither clearance. This would be a great option for a horse with little to no withers, moderately wide and flatter through the top line. This one will ride quite secure with a deep seat bed, raised twist, and actually has a full size horn. The tooling on this saddle is what really sets it apart. It is FULLY tooled in classic Sheridan sunflower tooling with silver lacing around the full skirt, cantle, and pommel. Finished off with a nice set of conchos. While we haven’t pulled the conchos to see if they are marked, but they are likely Alpaca Silver. This one is an older saddle, given the style likely from the 1980’s, but is safe and sound. It’s gone through a full inspection and a few repairs made. It does show some blemishes and signs of age. Has some rubbing along the edge of the skirt and some of the rubbing is down to the cording, which is what makes the laced edges. It also has a few scuffs and scrapes, but honestly this one has aged quite well. This one is ready to be your next local show saddle…or trail saddle…or decor saddle…it will last for decades to come!
