Need help with serial number on Circle Y saddle.?

Question

I was told that the serial number on my Circle Y should tell me everything about my saddle. I have my serial number down below, with the information I was given...Can anyone tell me if I have it right, or if I'm missing something?

1709 2609 0102 My serial number

1 One of the most expensive kind

1709 The model number

26 Seat size (i know that's wrong )

09 Stain/color

01 Month it was made

02 Year it was made

I know something is wrong. That's all my numbers, it's a circle y equitation show saddle. Regular dye, and part of the heritage collection. That's really all I know about it. That and it's too big for my horse.

I'm interested in selling it, so that's really why I want to know.

Please help, I'm hopeless.

Answer 1

the website is best, or calling them

year it was made is correct as well as the month

and seat size is def. wrong, just get a tape measure and measure it and figure out where those numbers are

Answer 2

call the Circle Y company.

Answer 3

The seat size is the real stumper!  But Circle Y has a website nowadays.  I've been riding Circle Y's about as long as they've been in business.  I climbed aboard the first one in 1969  (My old Circle Y that was stolen in '88 was made 11/69.).

Here's their site so you can e-mail them and find out what's with the weird seat size.
