WHAT MAKES THESE SADDLES DIFFERENT?
THE LEATHER - THE DESIGN - THE SEAT - THE TREE
I personally purchased my first easy rider from Clarence Anderson from Mary's Saddle Shop about 17 years ago and it is still going strong! I have a few friends who have even older ones, that still ride in them and they look and have worn great!. (Ps hint hint: Now that I am a dealer you guys need new ones!!!)
Order it the way you want!
Pick your colors, your skirt,your horn or no horn, a seat for a man or a women,conchos, whatever extras or how simple you want many more etc....
Don Goyette purchased the company, it is now in Bolivar MO and he will make it however you want it.

THE LEATHER
We use only English bridle leather to construct the entire saddle. English bridle leather is very strong and soft so there is very little break-in time needed if any. The strength of the leather also allows us to use a lighter weight leather without sacrificing durability resulting in a strong but light weight all leather saddle
THE DESIGN
Our fenders are cut and mounted in a special way to reduce strain on the knees and ankles. They also have a wide range of motion to allow you to move your legs all the way forward or all the way back. The fenders are very soft and turn easy you will find that after the first ride the stirrup will start to turn in (no broom stick needed).
THE SEAT
Our seat is designed from the tree up to be close contact and have a deep pocket to keep your body weight where it belongs for maximum comfort on long rides. Our seats allow you to ride for hours without feeling tired or sore. There are allot of padded seat saddles out there but it is not just the padding that makes our seats it is the design.
THE TREE
Our trees are custom made for us by Steele Saddle Tree. We have 9 different bar combinations to insure proper fit on any horse (gaited or non gaited) or mule. Proper fit and weight distribution are the keys to comfort for the horse. Our trees have about 144 square inches of contact on the horse so a rider weighing 144 lbs would put just 1 pound per square inch on the horse. (air pressure is 15lbs per square inch). A comfortable horse performs better. We will send you fit forms to custom fit your horse ensuring proper fit.
What makes us so proud to be a dealer for this company is:
What makes them Different from other saddle companies?
Three things: the guarantee, the technology and the quality.
The guarantee: They offer a 100% satisfaction Guarantee to all our customers. If you are not happy for any reason when your saddle arrives and you try it out. They will make it right by making you another saddle or refunding the purchase price.
The technology: They use state of the art computer software and CNC cutting machines rivaled only by the larger saddle companies. This allows us to cut all our parts to exact standards not possible by hand. Even though we use machines for cutting, each saddle is assembled by hand right here in our shop. The advantage to CNC cutting machine over clickers or cutting by hand is it allows us to very easily and cost effectively customize your saddle and still deliver key design features consistently.
The quality: All the saddles are hand assembled with all American products. The leather comes for Pennsylvania the trees from Tennessee and they build them in Bolivar Missouri.
Once you get your saddle you will not believe our comfort and quality.
The saddle maker is so easy to work with and special orders Don't upset him!
