Hand crafted custom saddles & leather products!

In a small workshop founded in 2016, a deep passion for craftsmanship and horses comes alive. This is no ordinary saddle shop—this is a place where tradition meets innovation, and where each saddle tells a story.

At the heart of the shop is a commitment to excellence. Every saddle begins with the finest Hermann Oak leather and stainless steel hardware, paired with rawhide-covered trees that ensure durability and strength. Each piece is a testament to the belief that the best saddles are not just built; they are carefully crafted to meet the unique needs of both rider and horse.

Customization is more than a service here—it’s a promise. Customers work hand-in-hand with the builders to create saddles tailored for comfort, performance, and style. From forward-hung fenders for barrel racing saddles to hand-shaped ground seats designed for individual riders, every detail is painstakingly considered. Options abound: intricate tooling, buck stitching, skirt styles, and seat inlays featuring gator, ostrich, or suede, to name a few. Even the stirrups, often handmade from wood, can be personalized to match the rider’s vision.

The saddle shop isn’t just a business—it’s a lifestyle. The builders are riders themselves, starting and training over 20 performance two-year-olds each year, many of which go on to excel in futurities, rodeos, and open competitions. Ashley, one of the shop’s own, competes regularly, riding in the very saddles crafted here. This firsthand experience brings a unique understanding of what makes a saddle truly exceptional.

But beyond the accolades and competition, the shop thrives on serving the everyday rider. “The regular Joe,” as they say, is the cornerstone of their work. Whether solving a saddle problem or creating something new, the team takes immense pride in helping people find the perfect fit for themselves and their horses. True custom saddle builders—crafting saddles by the name on the door—are rare, and this shop is proud to stand among them.

Every saddle built here is made to last, reflecting a dedication to quality over quantity. With just two pairs of hands at work, every stitch, every tool mark, and every finishing touch carries a personal touch. Repairs are done with the same care as new builds, and each creation carries the promise of lasting craftsmanship.

This is more than a saddle shop; it’s a celebration of American-made artistry, where pride in the craft is as strong as the leather it shapes. Here, quality isn’t just a goal—it’s a way of life.
