Tex Tan saddles - an American tradition since 1919

Once known as Western Rawhide and Company, Tex Tan founded in 1919, has become one of the top leather manufacturers in the world. Tex Tan has a respected following in the horse industry, with names like Hereford and Tex Tan saddles.

Over the last 85 years Tex Tan has produced top quality leather products from harnesses and horse collars, to Hereford brand saddles and Texas Ranger belts. Tex Tan came into it’s own in the 60’s with it’s line of horse products. By 1967, the popularity of Tex Tan saddles demanded the raising of the 48,000 square foot building that remains the manufacturing facility today.

With the increasing demand in the next three decades, Tex Tan saddles have become internationally known and respected as one of the top saddle manufacturers in the world. Changing the basic models only when technology aids form to function, Tex Tan will remain a leader in the horse industry.

Western riders from working cowboys to professional ropers turn to Tex Tan saddles for a name you can trust, and quality you can count on. Using saddle makers that excel at their craft and the traditions developed over time, Tex Tan continues in the western tradition.
