Circle Y Model Number Help

Select closest match (style) to your saddle* This field is required.Most saddles have a serial plate under the left seat jockey. If your saddle does not have this it may have been removed by a previous owner or it may be an older model. On some older models the serial number was stamped into the leather, and the location of the stamp was determined by the individual leather craftsman at the time the stamp was placed. Due to this, there was no standard location, however, we've noticed many of these tend to be along the cantle or under the seat jockeys.

How many digits are stamped into the leather?* This field is required.

1960s

Saddles built in the 1960s have a single 1-2 digit number stamped into the leather, this is a unique identifier that will need to be researched.

We will need to complete an Authentication Certificate for information on these saddles.

Please note that our customer service team does not have access to more information, you will need to purchase an Authentication Certificate to have your saddle researched for any additional information.
