Simco saddles - The joining of two legends

October 1990 saw a change in the western saddlemaking industry, with the joining of two legendary saddle companies. The companies we have known as Simco saddles and Longhorn became the saddlemakers we know as Simco-Longhorn Co. Inc.

The Simco plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee, continues to make the top quality western saddles, leather goods and horse supplies that have kept them an industry leader since 1933. The Longhorn plant remains in Greenville, Texas and builds only the highest quality the Billy Cook saddles that are respected the world over, and handcrafted Longhorn saddles, famous since 1913.

With the joining of these two companies and the craftsmanship that they have always been known for, Simco-Longhorn is destined to remain a legend, and a leader in the horse industry.
