Show Saddle, How much?

LuckyAshley · 05-06-2008, 04:18 PM

Just curious, how much do you think this show saddle is worth? I am throwing the idea of selling it around in my head, and just wanted to get an idea.

Brand: Billy Cook (Made is Sulfur, OK)
Size: Full QH bars, 16.5 equitation seat
Age: Unsure, in excellent condition though.
Extras: Matching Headstall and Breastcollar
Pics:

(Distorted Color, dark around silver and in other areas as it was just cleaned before the picture was taken)

Any ideas?
Thanks!

Im not sure but I wouldnt take less than 1,500 for it

1,000 to 1500 easy more if the person buying it really wants it. It looks like a nice saddle made by a company know for quality

Thanks guys. I'll have to haul it home from the barn and polish up the silver and get some more pictures with better lighting... these pictures don't do it any justice at all. I'm not sure if I should sell it or not -- I hardly ever use it at all, but it's soooo purdy.

I would say maybe $1,000. It just depends on how well it fits horses - if it fits more horses than it doesn't - its worth a little more.

Very pretty! (it's too wide of an angle for the horse it's sitting on though).

I would say $1,000-1,200, depending on how fast you want to sell it. With those wide/flat bars and larger though, it might take a little longer to sell. Most modern WP horses are not super wide/broad (which is the type of horse that saddle would fit best) and most WP riders use 16" seats.

I'd say $1,000 is fair. But I am sure you could bump it up, since it has a matching headstall and breast collar.

I agree with the above post -- $900-$1000 for the saddle alone.

Thank you for all of the posts, bumping this up for some more!
