First up for me are my 2 English saddles
1. Passier General Purpose 17"
Exact measurements of the saddle I can get on request . Also every Passier is stamped with a serial # a quick email to Passier and sons will give the exact info on the saddle, all specs and the year it was made .
Asking $300cdn
The cool thing, I think about used tack is,if it is made well( and Passier and sons do know how to build a saddle) Age is a bonus , well cared for used tack is often more comfortable, and pliable. And for new people comng into the industry far less cost prohibitive than new .
For the industry to bounce back and continue to grow we need those new folks badly, but we need to educate them and keep them safe as well and selling good quality tack at reasonable prices is a good start.Or people who are already in the industry looking to try something new or , for lessons etc . Used is a great option as well . So I am dusting off the stuff I don't use and we will see if there is someone out there who will get use out of it .
As I said feel free to join in , post on your own blog andI will link to it, post in the comments and we can share or email me at fernvalleyappaloosas@hotmail.ca and I will feature your item here!
Have a great weekend ! Stay safe and warm

Nice!
Alas I too gave up thoughts of riding huntseat again. I recently sold my Corbette classic for $350. at a new little tack and feed store that opened up 3 miles from my house. (It is also out in the county and about 5 miles or so from town, makes it pretty convenient, especially with gas prices how they are!!)
I still have my daughters barrel saddle, my Crates reiner, and a Tex Tan western saddle. 3 horses 3 saddles right? LOL
I do still have my hunt saddle I got for my birthday when I was 14. Just cant bear to part with it, its a little no name late 70's argentine, but has been good on every horse I have had it on. Even the Shetland! Had to get the Corbette 17" for my older daughter, because she is 5'10", she is tall! with long legs, and the little saddle was looking kinda funny with her in it! LOL
I would rather shop for bits than jewelry! LOL
Beautiful all purpose! I'd like to join your Friday's for sale. Here are my sale items:

Nice hunter/jumper girth - New condition and 50% off retail is listed there.
This is a great idea! I will be sure to "shop" around here on Fridays. :)
Alas the tack seems to breed on it's own and suddenly we have so much stuff we can't remember when, where or even why we bought some of it.
I am liking the look of the Passier and as you said, if it is built well and taken care of, it can last a long, long time. I am hoping my mare does not widen out and force me to give up my saddles and start the hunt for something new to accomodate her. Holy hell if that happens.
Off to look around at some of the other blogs listed...
Oh and reddunappy-
>I would rather shop for bits than jewelry! LOL<
