Simco - Longhorn Co., Inc.

What's the value of my saddle?
Unfortunately, there is no way for us to be able to give a current value to older saddles. There are too many variables involved that would prevent us from giving an accurate assessment of the value. Values will vary in different parts of the country. The best thing to do would be to take it to a couple of local shops and get it appraised by a local retailer.

When was my saddle made?
Over the years, as ownership and management of Simco/Longhorn has changed, so have the procedures for dating the saddles during production. The current way of identifying and dating our saddles is as follows. Model numbers for saddles are usually located on the tie carrier, however, some may be located on the backside of the cantle. Manufacture date and serial numbers should be located on the skirt and can be found by lifting the onside jockey & fender. And, by looking way up underneath, there may be some numbers stamped on the skirt. These numbers may be in order by month and year. (i.e.: 107 - would stand for January of 2007) Serial numbers may vary in length from 3-5 digits. (Our apologies as some saddles may not have a manufacturer date or serial number on them.) If you don't find a date stamp on the skirt, write us at info1@simcolonghorn.com and be sure to include the model number. Without the model number, we will not be able to identify your saddle. Also, please don't send us a description of the saddle as we will not be able to search by description.

How do I measure my saddle?
Different people measure things differently. We have a diagram we use in referring to how to measure different parts of the saddle and also how many of the saddle parts are identified. Click here for the diagram.

I've got a problem with my Simco or Longhorn saddle. What do I do?
For all problems with one of our saddles, you will need to take it back to the dealer you purchased it from. If the dealer is not able to take care of the problem, they will contact us to see what needs to be done to fix the problem. If the dealer is no longer in business, please contact us directly.

What's the warranty on my saddle?
All saddles have a 5 year warranty on the tree only. The warranty applies to the original owner only. Warranty does not cover damage to the tree due to misuse, carelessness or accidents.
