Saddles

All of our saddles are individually crafted with the finest leather and attention to detail. We do not produce any two exactly alike so each saddle becomes a work of art. Below are the various categories of saddles. Click on a category to see some examples. If there is something you would like to have made and you don't see it here, contact us. We also have a full service Repair Facility.

The Buckaroo
Item: SD102
Price: $2,918.00

     For those that like the Buckaroo look and utility, here is a good one.  While we normally install flat plate rigging in this style of saddle, this customer preferred inskirt instead which will put less bulk under your leg.  In my opinion, if installed properly, it's every bit as strong.

Saddles - Roping

Click Image for Detail

The Roper
Item: SD108
 Price: $2,564.00

This is a great, all-purpose saddle, designed to be tough enough for the arena or ranch but also great for pleasure.  We can do a lot with pattern design on any of our saddles.  This particular one is mostly plain except for some scroll cutting in the corners.

As with all of our saddles, rather than drilling through the tree, we use dee rings to attach the saddle strings to the saddle. Holes drilled through the tree may tend to weaken the tree plus it creates a place for moisture and rot to begin.  

Also, you can take the strings off to replace them easily yourself without having to make a trip to your local saddle shop.  To my knowledge, I've never had any pull out or break (even if they did it would be easy to repair).  But If you still want the other kind, we can do that for you.

Specs on saddle shown:
Tree: Chuck Sheppard Roper
Seat:  16"
Cantle:  3" high x 1.25" dish
Horn:  4 post dolly
Rigging:  7/8 inskirt double
Stirrups:  3" deep roper
