Do I have a knock off Circle Y?

GGRRR I can't find my sheet that tells me LOL

OH yea they changed the numbers also
The width is indicated by the last two digits of the ten digit number. It will be 04 for regular width and 05 for wide

Give me a few adn I will track down the rest of them LOL

We had a similar problem with Weaver not long ago. Places change model number so often too that it is a little crazy. Looking at it, it looks legit. But I believe alot of the companies last day was friday and that they are closed until the new year, as far as saddles go.

I wouldn't worry too much though, it came froma rep dealer so I'd say no worries.

What if the saddle only has nine numbers? My circle Y gray Equitation saddle has the following number: 161128702

Circle Y Saddle numbers

The first digit "3" shows the level/cost of the saddle with 1 being the highest and 3 being the lowest (entry level). The first 4 digits is the model # "3330" - I don't know how to interpret that. The next two digits is the seat size "15" is 15 inch. The next two digits is the color:

00 Dark Oil
01 Walnut
04 Regular Oil
07 Ultra Lite
08 Pecan
18 Black

I believe the next 6+ digits is the date and unique identifying number.

Mary yours has fewer numbers because it was before they started putting the tree size on the numbers ... I "THINK" that they are the same until the last few ...

Yes that is a Circle Y trail Saddle. I have the ancient version of that...
If you google Circle Y Mother Hubbard you can find lots of them.

I have a paper somewhere that I was gonna scan in that tells how to read the old and the new numbers but all I can find are my "notes" from when I called Circle Y on a saddle I was looking at LOL

If you find it I would love to have it. There are several real Circle Y's without those tags too. Saw an Equitation seat at a sale without one. Often saddles that were stolen previously will have them missing... Imagine that.

Mary also saddlery's are suppose to take the tag off of any saddle that has been altered... is what I was told when I called them

I will find it it just may take me a bit LOL with Christmas and all
