SweetWater Saddlery has been in business building custom saddles, handmade tack and pack equipment for 20+ years. Bruce studied extensively under the best saddle and tree makers in the industry and also has a working background in ranching and outfitting. He has a good understanding of his trade and is an exceptional craftsman who takes pride in making top quality saddles and tack that are not only artistic in their appearance, but will fit your animal and you, and be built to last.

All custom saddles are built on handmade rawhide covered wood trees using the finest materials available, including real sheepskin lining. Saddle base price includes your choice of tree style and length of seat 14 to 16 inches, (mule bars are available upon request), smooth or rough-out leather (or combination of smooth and rough-out), on tree rigging, regular straight cantle binding, saddle strings, sheepskin lining on skirts, covered stirrups, 3" wide stirrup leathers with Blevins buckles, front cinch and up to 3" rear cinch. All stirrup leathers are twisted and wrapped at no additional cost, keeping your stirrups turned and in the proper position for your comfort while riding, unless otherwise specified by customer.

The same top quality leather, hardware and craftsmanship are used in making all of our handmade tack and accessories. We offer the largest line of handmade old style headstalls we have seen anywhere.

Silver is priced upon request. We offer old-time brass and solid sterling silver conchos (copies of our antiques) and Montana Silversmiths Silver.

We also offer other lines of equipment that we have found to be of superior quality. Some of these lines include Double Diamond rope halters, lead ropes, reins and mecates, Woolback and Cool Back saddle and pack pads, Jeremiah Watt Products handmade bits and spurs, rawhide braided bosals and reins, rein chains, Australian Outback Collection oilskin coats, Cattle Kate and Cowboy Images Silk Wildrags (scarves), etc...

In addition we are distributors for WW Livestock Systems handling equipment such as horse stalls, panels, gates, round pens, arenas, squeeze chutes and sweep systems.

Product and prices subject to change without notice.

Sincerely,

Bruce and "Sam"
SweetWater Saddlery
