15″ Vintage Circle Y All Around Ranch Saddle

Holy cow is this saddle amazing and is proof that quality tack lasts. If this saddle was a person, it would be shopping retirement properties in Arizona. This one is years prior to when Circle Y has serial plates or stamped numbers, but out guess given the style, this one was built in the early to mid 1950’s. But don’t let its age fool you, this saddle is in incredible condition. This one is a true all around Ranch type saddle with an A-Fork swell, built on a heavy duty wood tree-its built to work but boy its it pretty! Wider than you’d expect, fitting like QH bars that measure 6.5″, fitting low and wide with a wider shoulder flare and just a bit of rock to the bars. Offers a true 15″ seat with a sloped raised twist and deeper seat bed, with lower cantle almost like an old Bull Dogger saddle. Has a reinforced duck bill style roper horn that measures 3″ x 3.5″, this one will hold a rope just fine. Despite being a work saddle, its clear this one never really worked for a living. Never been roped off of, has been professionally refleeced with real wool and we’ve gone over this one with a fine tooth comb. Its in INCREDIBLE condition. Has butter soft leather that is fully tooled in a classic oak leave and acorn pattern, classy buck stitching along the pommel and seat, and it comes with its original and matching rear rigging. Frankly, this awesome vintage saddle shows less use and wear that most saddles a fraction of its age. Shows a couple scrapes and scratches, but we are being far too critical of this saddle. We’ve pulled this great saddle apart to its tree–this one is sound as heck and ready for another 70 years.
