15″ Vintage Circle Y Reining Saddle w/ Vogt Sterling Silver

This is, hands down, one of the most incredible saddles we’ve ever had in. This saddle is proof of the incredible lifespan of quality tack. This Circle Y is old, at this point, it’s old enough to qualify for an AARP membership. So old that it doesn’t have a serial plate or stamped numbers. Given the style, this one is likely from the early 1960’s, but don’t let its age fool you, this saddle is in incredible condition. (No offense to the humans born in the 1960’s, haha!) This one is in an equitation/reining saddle style with a raised twist, very deep seat bed, lower cantle, and duck bill style horn. Wider than you’d expect, fitting like QH bars that measure 6.75″, fitting low and wide with a wider shoulder flare and just a bit of rock to the bars. Build on a wood tree, this one is ready for another 50+ years. 15″ seat, but does fit just a hair smaller with how the seat bed is shaped. Shorter skirt at 25.5″, lower cantle at 2.5″ and 3″ horn. In our favorite dark oiled leather that is FULLY hand tooled in a classic Sheridan sunflower pattern. In-skirt rigging, fenders offer a ton of adjustment, and relatively recently has had a set of saddle strings added. Has stainless wrapped cantle, pommel, and horn. Ok, what makes this saddle absolutely incredible is the silver. All silver is original to the saddle and every single silver piece is solid sterling silver made by Vogt. The intricate engraving on each piece. Even the concho on the stirrup and the rope holder are solid sterling. There are a couple Vogt Sterling Silver saddle-in far more used condition then this set-available for purchase right now for $500+. Comes with original stirrups and rear rigging billets, and comes fitted with a newer but well matching back cinch. This saddle has been very well cared for, showing far less use than you’d expect. The leather on this saddle is butter soft. Shows a couple small scuffs, the front skirts are just a bit rolled in the front from storage, but we are being far too critical. You won’t find any on the market at this price for the saddle AND silver!
