Vintage 14″ Circle Y Western Saddle
Full Product Description
Ride in classic western style and comfort with the Vintage 14″ Circle Y Western Saddle. This smaller-sized saddle is perfect for youth riders or those who prefer a compact fit without compromising on performance. Crafted with durable leather and backed by Circle Y’s long-standing reputation, this saddle is built to last.
Featuring semi bars (model number 2964 4 781043), the saddle provides excellent shoulder clearance and a secure fit for a wide range of horses. The wire-wrapped cantle and swell offer added durability and style, while the sheeps wool lining ensures comfort for your horse.

With double-position rigging on each side, adjustable Blevin stirrup adjusters, and included leather latigo strap, off billet, and new stirrup hobbles, this saddle provides functionality and ease of setup for trail, arena, or everyday western riding.
