Looking for second hand saddles? There are more options out there than the ads you'll find at local flea markets, newspapers, and saddlery shops. While these are excellent places to find great saddles, thanks to the Internet there are other great options too. Let's take a look at some of the high quality saddles available from just one of the many online auction websites.

For around $2,000 you can get a Coats cutting saddle. Coats Saddlery of Texas is one of the premier rodeo saddle makers in the US, with rodeo stars of all genres proudly riding Coats. One of the best parts of second hand saddles made by Coats is that they are the only Coats saddles available for immediate purchase! To get a Coats cutting saddle, you have to find one that is second hand, or have one custom made.

For around the same price, you can also get a second hand Bob Roy saddle, also custom made. Sized with a 15.5 inch seat, this size is ideal for women riders, both casual and professional. But unlike coats saddles, you can't even get Bob Roy saddles, unless of course you win one in a rodeo contest or pageant. Not the right size? Keep your eye on the auction websites, where neat, custom made saddles of all types and sizes are listed all the time.

For the team roper, there are great team roping saddles from big time names in saddlery like Cactus, Circle Y, and Wade. And of course, western saddles aren't the only things you can find on auction websites. English saddles, dressage saddles, tack, riding accessories and anything else you might need for your favorite type of riding can be purchased both online, and at the regular places.

The nice thing about shopping online is that you can look for exactly what you want, without having to settle for the limited options available in your local area. While you many only find one or two good second hand saddles where you live, you can find hundreds by using the Internet. And if you miss out on one saddle, you can bet that another one will be listed in time at all.
