Ranch, roping, barrel, trail and show saddles that came in used, cleaned up and priced, plus headstalls, breast collars, pads and bits. We buy, we sell and we take trades. This is an appointment shop, so call first and the door will be open when you get here.

What is on the racks
The rack turns over constantly, which is the whole nature of a used tack shop and the reason a photo from March means nothing in July. What does not change is how it is sorted: every saddle on the wall has the seat size, the tree width, the maker and the price on the tag, and if you tell us the horse and the discipline we will pull the three that fit before you get here.
Wade and association trees, rough-out and smooth-out, most of them with real wear and all of them sound. This is the largest part of the rack and the part that moves fastest, so the good ones are gone inside a week or two.
$650–$1,850
Barrel saddles in 13 through 15 inch seats and lightweight trail saddles, including a few synthetics under twenty pounds for people who cannot swing forty. Round skirt and square skirt both on the wall.
$375–$1,200
Bring a wither tracing or bring the horse. We measure gullet width and check the bar angle against the tracing, because a saddle that bridges or rocks will ruin a good horse no matter what it cost. Nobody here will sell you a tree that does not fit the animal.
no charge
Browband and one ear headstalls, split and roping reins, curb and snaffle bits, breast collars, back cinches and latigos. New leather from two makers and a used rail that is worth checking first.
from $22
Wool felt, Navajo and contoured pads in three quarter and one inch, mohair and roper cinches by the inch, off billets and latigos. Pads are the cheapest fix for a saddle that fits almost right, and the most oversold thing in this trade.
from $38
We buy outright, we take trades against anything on the wall, and we take consignment at a flat rate. Bring the saddle in and we will tell you what it is worth in an hour, including if the answer is that it is a wall hanger.

What it costs
There is no shipping and there never has been. A saddle is bought by sitting in it, and half of what we sell goes out the door on a horse that came in the trailer. Trades are welcome against anything on the wall. If you are driving more than half an hour, call ahead and tell us the seat size and the horse, and we will have three pulled and set out. Prices here are illustrative for this preview.
In the shop
Worth knowing before you drive out: this is a small shop on a working place, not a store on a strip. The door is not open unless somebody is expecting you, and that is the single most important sentence on this page.
The shop
Owner name goes here has been buying, cleaning and reselling used tack out of this building for years, and the way it started is the way most of these shops start: one expensive saddle that did not fit the horse and could not be sent back. Everything on the wall got here because somebody outgrew it, changed disciplines, sold the horse or bought the wrong tree.
The reason this page exists is that a Facebook post is the wrong container for inventory. A saddle posted in March is unfindable in July, nobody can filter it by seat size, and there is no way to tell whether the one in the photo sold two months ago. Everything above this line is what is here, what it fits and what it costs, and the appointment rule is stated where a person will actually see it before they drive out.

Call before you come
123 Main St
Kearney, MO 64060
Gravel drive with a turnaround big enough for a truck and a two horse trailer. Bring the horse if you want to, there is a place to tie. The shop floor is concrete and level, and the door is wide.
There are no walk in hours, because this shop is on a working place and nobody is sitting in it waiting. Call or text, say what you are looking for and roughly when you can come, and almost any daylight hour works including evenings in the summer. If you are selling or trading, describe the saddle on the phone first and we can usually tell you over the phone whether it is worth loading up.
Towns we cover: Kearney, Holt, Excelsior Springs, Smithville, Lawson, Liberty, Plattsburg, Cameron, Richmond, Polo, Braymer, Trimble and the horse country either side of 35 up to Cameron.
