What's the most and least you've paid for a saddle?

Rising Star · 06-17-2008, 06:00 PM

one for nothing from my moms friend. She left it for a long time and it really needed to be cleaned up. It was older and not really perfectly made but it fit my TB well and I loved it. I ended up selling it I think for $200 after.
I got one a while back for I think $35 from a member on here. I ended up selling it though since it was too small for me and my horse. that was my cheapest.
My most expensive was $400 from my horses previous owner (Iluvmywarmblood) and it fit perfect since its his old saddle and I LOVE it. Its older but puts up with my daily riding really well.

Im getting two more soon. one for $250 from Iluvmywarmblood again and then a western saddle from my uncle for nothing. He won it as a year end when he was bullriding and doesnt ride horses and said I would make better use of it than him. its a $5000+ saddle... and im getting it free! lol

The most was $550 for my Ovation CC saddle and $250 for my Griffith Dressage saddle (used but in excellent condition!)

jumpfordreams · 06-17-2008, 06:27 PM

Least: $40 no brand English saddle. Icky, but I sold it for $125 later.
Most: $650 for a used Circle Y.

Most: My jumping saddle (Ainsley), the only saddle within my budget that fit me

- $1000

Least: My dressage saddle (Niedersuss), 14yrs old and looks better than new

- $600

My Stubben (

) that I miss so much and sold to my instructor.. I paid, I believe, $300 something for it. That is the most I've paid.

Least $20..also an english saddle..from a member here

My first saddle was $175 and my second was $50. The second was actually nicer - it was brand new! The first was a lesson saddle but in decent condition. The third saddle was a different lesson saddle that I traded for my 1st if that makes any sense. Lol. =] They're both English saddles. I really want to get a western saddle too, but I don't NEED it and I can't afford it so it'll have to wait. In the meantime, there are two at the farm that I can use pretty much anytime I want.

$200.00 for my first saddle and $2000.00 (current saddle) for my Billy Cook Roper.
Both Western saddlles.
