3/4 Flower w/ Basket Wade




1/2 Geometric Will James

All of my saddles are built with horse and rider in mind. Whether you ride all day for a living or occasionally for pleasure, your comfort and your horse’s comfort are foremost in my mind. To do this well, I will need to know what you want to do with your saddle, what kind of horses you ride and what types of riding you do. These questions will help me as we decide what type of saddle best fits your needs.

The quality of a saddle begins with the quality of materials used to build it. I start with hand made trees made by Rick Reed and Swanke Saddle Co. I use sides of leather by Wickett & Craig or Thoroughbred, and I hand pick it to ensure quality and uniformity throughout construction.

My flower stamping is in the tradition of the “Sheridan Style”. I do not use tap offs or patterns, so each saddle is unique and individual. I approach my work as art and want each customer to receive an original piece of work.
