Quality new and used Western & English saddles and bridles
Used Crates Western Saddles
Crates saddles and accessories are hand made, one at a time, in Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA. They make a variety of high quality saddles for Team Roping, All Around Ropers, Light Versatility, Maleta Brown Series, General Roping & Ranch, Show, Reining, Trail and Pleasure, and for Gaited Horses and Arabians.Below are current eBay auctions for Crates tack. Like all of the higher end brands, they are in high demand and therefore sell for more than a cheap saddle. But you are still getting a GREAT bargain when you compare the price to that of new saddles.
Saddles and Bridles Blog
Horseback riding and showing is a dream that many of us have from when we were little. There is something about these magnificent animals that grabs the heart and mind and never lets go. This site is about horses, riding, enjoying, showing, and buying equipment for. A little of everything for the horse lover in all of us, whether we're currently owned by an equine or not. One goal of this blog is to point you toward good selections of new and used English and Western tack : horse and pony saddles, bridles and cavessons. Equipment is expensive, especially the good stuff. Most of the top of the line saddlery is beyond the budget of most of us, but our four-legged friends deserve the best we can get. That means checking out the used saddle market for top quality horse tack by Hennig, Stubben, Passoa, Crosby, Reinsman, Circle Y, etc., and of course many custom made pieces by well known saddle artisans. It's better to buy a first-rate used saddle than a badly made, poor-quality new one. Your horse will thank you!
