Why we need saddle makers

For hundreds of years saddle makers have been making an art out of building saddles, finding themselves as in demand now as then. The problems that can arise from buying a saddle “off the shelf” with an imperfect fit can result in irritation or even injury to your horses sensitive back muscles. Eventually most riders find themselves looking to reputable saddle makers to have the right saddle made for them.

Having reputable saddle makers custom build your saddle to fit you and your horse is an investment well worth making. It is important to find someone with a good knowledge of equine anatomy and the value of form to function. If a saddle doesn’t fit, all the pads in the world won’t fix the problem!

Having saddle makers custom build your saddle, doesn’t take as long as you might think. A hand tooled western saddle can be ready is as little as two weeks, with quality to last a lifetime. Buying a custom saddle fitted to your horse from the bare tree, to the finished product, is a great advantage. Saddle makers become an invaluable resource because of their ability to specifically design a saddle to the size and shape of your horse.
