Action Co Maker, Mckinney, TX Saddle

Recommended Posts

Hello! 

I was given this saddle and have since been trying to find out more information on it, but keep coming up empty handed. Not sure if I'm just bad at searching or what :) It was made my Action Co, Mckinney tx and the numbers on it are 22708.1 and 5 with a 15 below it as shown in the photos. Apologies for the dirt, I just started to clean it up today. Thank you for any additional information on the saddle and also, Hello everyone!

I know nothing about western saddles, but the Saddle Restoration Facebook group has a lot of saddle identification posts.  Also, the owners of Ruxton's Trading Post in Manitou Springs CO are experts who might assist you.  They have written books, and articles for Western Horseman about historic saddles and their value.

Brings back some memories. I was a salesman for them back in the mid-late 90s. I do not think they still make saddles but i could be wrong. I drive through McKinney fairly often and the 2 buildings they used to be in are no longer Action. It was one company that owned Action, Tex Tan, Hereford..maybe another company. The action line, while good saddles, were the basic line and most of the simple tack (blankets/brushes/etc)was sold under the Action brand. If i recall, all Action saddles had synthetic, not rawhide covered trees. The long number is the model number. The 15 means 15" seat. By the design and the wrapped horn, i would say it is likely a roping saddle.
