CUSTOM SADDLES

GALLERY

We would like to give you a little briefing on how we build our saddles, and the certain options that you have to choose from. All of our saddles are custom, meaning that you choose the style of tree, rigging style and position, the shape of the skirts, fenders,  tooling, and a few other minor choices that you would like. We like to make contact with our customers who are interested in saddles to avoid any misunderstandings.   

Below are some of the styles of trees we offer and some of the other choices you will have to make to be well on the way to making you the saddle that you've always wanted (and that you can hand down for generations). Thank you for visiting our site and have fun !!  If you have any questions, please E-mail us or call us at the # below.

   Rigging styles                     

    The rigging is a very important part of the saddle and is sometimes overlooked by the customer. Below are the three basic types of rigging, and they can all be placed in a full, 7/8 or 3/4 position (please specify). The most common position is 7/8 on the flat plates, and "full" on the double rigged.

Skirts

Often times the shape and style of the skirts determine what the rest of the saddles shapes will be like. For instance if the skirts are square the rest of the saddle will usually follow suit. Below are some drawings of some different styles offered.

You also get to choose a stirrup style, and stamp pattern.  The basic saddle price starts at $1595.00    Obviously the options are endless when having a custom saddle built, therefore we've listed the add on options below with prices to be added onto the base price.
