[QUOTE="glock girl, post: 1395150, member: 6217"] I ride horses. I can tell you that the size of the saddles drastically reduces the market for them. 15"-16" is the rough normal for a western saddle. 17"-18" is the normal size for an English saddle. Double check and make sure you're measuring them right. How to measure western: [url]http://www.horsesaddleshop.com/howtomeaswes.html[/url] Measuring English saddle seat size: [url]http://www.tack-wholesale.com/Measure.html[/url] Let me preface these estimates by saying that I'm not a tack expert. I'm just guessing based on a quality saddle to get used. Have no idea if the western one could be a collector's piece. I'd say up to probably about $350 on the western saddle, assuming the tree is sound and there's no dry rot or anything on it. On the english one, the non-padded flaps have pretty much gone out of vogue, so that does limit your market a bit. I'd say probably $150 at best. I live in MWC and would be happy to take a look at them for you when I get back to town. [/QUOTE]
