Our saddles are handmade one at a time by Julia Kelly.

Our philosophy is that a saddle must first-and-foremost fit the horse (the right tree), and secondly fit the rider (a comfortable seat). After that, the "upholstery" is all icing on the cake.

For ready-to-buy saddles, we make what we like most: the buckaroo old-time all-day saddle, small round skirts with a 3/4 spider rig, all-leather ground seat, heavy cast aluminum stirrups, either a tall, narrow horn or a shorter very fat horn, half-leathers for the fenders, and medium weight leather, all of which make a lighter saddle built on a very sturdy wood/rawhide Nikkel tree that will last more than a lifetime.

Saddle prices start at $2000 for a completely plain (no tooling) saddle. To that you can add extras such as tooling, leather-covered wide wooden stirrups, and silver conchos.
