In 1995 I started making saddles. I had gotten tired of saddles
not fitting me or my mule. I couldn’t find a tree that I like, so
I designed one from scratch. Basically, a mule is straighter over
the top line and doesn’t have as much shoulder muscle as a horse.
So, you have to adjust the tree accordingly.
Our saddles are made on a wooden rawhide covered tree. They’re
made with a 7/8 double rigging and an in-skirt front d-ring. This
allows your leg to get closer to the animal and you don’t have the
bulge underneath your leg. It has a 4” cantle with a deep seat. We
work real hard on the seat to get it just right. It doesn’t matter
how the saddle looks if it doesn’t sit comfortable. They come with
a slick seat, but we put a high density foam layer underneath for
comfort. The swells have cut away leg relief. This allows you more
comfort, plus helps hold you in the saddle. We put a rear d-ring
on to attach a crupper. This is not only sewn to the rear jockey,
but screwed to the tree. Also, a front d-ring is set up higher for
the breast collar. And the stirrups are blocked to allow easy
entry with your foot. If there’s one thing I dislike it’s stirrups
that lay flat on the animal’s side.
If you’re looking for a practical common sense trail saddle that’s
built with you in mind check out this one.
Pictured is our deluxe model. One with aluminum offset stirrups
and one with the standard leather covered bell stirrups. |
