Buying A Circle Y Barrel Saddle On eBay: A Few Things To Think About

Is the Circle Y barrel saddle new or used?

Are there several clear pictures of the saddle?

If the saddle is used, does the seller clearly state any defects? It is reasonable to assume that a used saddle might have some defects or blemishes. Does the seller clearly describe them, and show them in the pictures?

Is the barrel saddle really a Circle Y? Some sellers will attempt to use popular brands, like Circle Y, to get people to look at their saddles regardless of what brand they are. These sellers might describe a saddle something like: "Great barrel racing saddle! Not Circle Y!" Some sellers also state "I think it is a Circle Y." Read headlines and descriptions carefully.

What will the shipping charges be?

Every eBay item for sale has a "Seller info" area. Be sure to check this area to view the feedback rating that previous buyers have left for that particular seller. There is also an area where a potential buyer can read comments left by previous buyers.

If you have any questions be sure to ask the seller before you bid. Look for the "Ask a question" link in the "Seller info" area to ask your questions.

Circle Y Serial Numbers and Flex-Lite Saddle Trees

Looking for the serial number on a Circle Y saddle?
Circle Y puts their saddles' serial numbers on a metal plate on the left side of the saddle underneath the seat jockey. To know if the saddle is a regular tree or a wide tree, look at the last two numbers: 04 stands for a regular saddle tree width, and 05 is for a wide tree.

What Is A Circle Y "Flex-Lite" Tree?
Some Circle Y saddles have a "flex-lite" tree. A Circle Y flex-lite saddle tree is designed to give a flexible fit for the horse, conforming to the horse's back. In addition, the saddle skirts have a neoprene filler for the comfort of both horse and rider.
