    You are interested in purchasing a saddle – that’s great! 

    Let us help you through the process.

    THE PROCESS

    1. Fill out the Saddle Fitting Request form below: We will need some information about you and your horse. From there we will determine how to get your horse measured; it could be done by one of our fitting representatives or we can help you get it done remotely.

    2. Fill out the Saddle Order form below: This form allows you to choose all the options to design your saddle to your specifications including style, color, conchos, and more! No payment or commitment is required to fill out this form. Feel free to contact me to discuss your order: [email protected] or 403-816-5251. 

    3. Send us a Deposit: When you have your horse measured, your satisfied with all of your saddle choices and are ready to commit to your saddle purchase, we require a non-refundable deposit of $2500. Upon receipt of the deposit, you will be secured a place on our saddle build list and then we can Get Started on your saddle!

    4. We Build your Saddle: Saddles generally take 3-4 months to complete. Our saddles take some time to build because they are not off-the-shelf saddles. Each saddle is built on a tree individually constructed for each horse. Saddle options are all unique to the preference of the purchaser. 

    5. Final Billing: We will notify you when your saddle is complete. At that time we will also send you a picture of your saddle and the final invoice. Once we receive payment your saddle will be shipped or mailed to you.

    Our saddles are built on trees that are custom shaped for each horse. They are also custom-designed for the rider. We want you and your horse to look good, perform to your utmost, and be as comfortable and safe as possible whenever and wherever you ride.

    Personal Information

    Custom Saddle Order Form is the simplest way to show you all the custom saddle options available. Fill it out then we can discuss any questions, no commitment no payment.


    New Custom Saddle Details

    Please request a call back if you have any questions about saddle choices. 403-816-5251 or 403-816-8404
    I have added a cost of $0.01 to all items that are no cost so they show in the summary at the bottom. We will remove these from your invoice


    Seat Size

    The western saddle seat is commonly measured from the back of the fork to the top of the cantle. But, with changes in height and/or angle of either the fork or cantle, the seat size measurement can vary. A better way to determine seat size requirement is thigh area, which, on the saddle, is measured from the base of the cantle to the base of the swells, under the leg. We have included a thigh width calculator. Measure (in inches) the circumference of the thickest part of your thigh and enter it in the first box below. The approximate thigh width space you require in your saddle will be calculated in the second box below. Then choose the thigh width from one of the 4 seat sizes below. Each size lists seat size, thigh length, plus overall bar length. 

    If you choose a cut back, English, endurance, slick fork or wade style, these saddles will allow the rider’s thighs to move ahead under the forks, giving about 1 inch extra seat room, great for short backed horses’ More lean to the forks can also give the rider more freedom while keeping the thigh in close proximity to the security of the fork. 


    Fork  Style + 5800

    The fork is the front member of the saddle that holds the bars together and supports the horn. We have a variety of swell forks, slick fork and undercut, some with horns some without. Choose your style of fork.


    Horn or no Horn

    The tree swells above come with their respective horns. If you don’t want a horn this is the place to let us know, we can remove the horn from any fork.


    Cantle Height

    Higher cantle height can make it a bit more difficult to get in and out of the saddle but offers more security, keeping you in the saddle during those moments.


    Cantle Binding

    The Cheyenne Roll provides a wider softer landing surface than the Pencil Roll should you be tossed out of your seat. Additionally, it gives you a handhold when putting the saddling up on your horse.


    Skirt and Reveal Style

    Round or Square? 
    With a reveal, a layer of leather in the accent leather color is added to the bottom skirt to enhance its appearance. For a short-backed horse, not using a reveal will help shorten the overall length of the saddle. The reveal is not available on endurance and English style saddles.

    Primary Leather Colour

    Bridle Leather – is fully finished with a waxy feel and a beautiful sheen. After the vegetable tanning process, the leather is hot stuffed with oils and tallows that penetrate through the hides, giving the leather a smooth, rich cut. The bridle leather is weather-resistant due to these oils and waxes. After the tanning process is complete, the leather is drum-dyed for uniform coloring. The artisanal tanning process is what makes vegetable leather much different from leathers produced using other types of tannages. Weaver Select Leather’s slow and time-honored vegetable tanning process sets them apart. (colors are approximate)

    Seat Leather Colour

    Due to the nature of leather, variances in colour, pattern and style can occur with each hide. The swatches and photos of our leathers are only a close representation of the actual leather. We cannot guarantee the cut of our patterned leathers as no two will be the same. (colors are approximate)


    Accent Bridle Leather Colour

    Accent Bridle Leather Colour – Saddle strings, swell and cantle lacing, concho backs, buck stitch, stirrup lacing, bridle, breast collar lacing, and reveal colour.  (colors are approximate)


    Rough-out

    Rough-out is the rough, unfinished leather side. It doesn’t show the bangs and scrapes as much as smooth leather and it can provide the rider with more grip in the saddle. It can be refurbished with a wire brush. All parts will be slick-out unless rough-out is selected. Rough-out is the unfinished leather side.

    Antique Finish

    Antique finish emphasizes tooling, carving and embossing, 2-toned effect. This works best with lighter colored leather. 


    Conchos

    Conchos are backed with one large accent leather coloured rosette and 1 smaller saddle leather coloured rosette.


    Fender Length

    – Please measure from your crotch to the floor barefoot. Pants are not always a proper indicator of the inseam.

    Stirrups

    We stock several types of stirrups or use your own favourite.


    Stirrup add ons

    We have removed much of the bulk under your thigh and calf to help align your leg into the stirrup and keep your calf in closer contact with your horse.

    The bulk has been removed from under your thigh and calf to help align your leg into the stirrup and keep your calf in close contact with your horse.

    The stirrup includes an Alberta twister that holds it out from the horse and relieves pressure on the knees and hips.

    Under the tread, a shock-absorbing cushioning pad can be added to help reduce knee soreness.

    You can alleviate knee and ankle strain by adding a wedge under the stirrup to better match the angle of your foot bottom.


    Rigging Style

    We use a cable rigging system on our trees. We can attach a western style latigo and off side billet or or an english style two strap billet on both sides.

    3D EQUINE SADDLE FITTING SYSTEM

    Good saddle fit starts with a good fitting tree; a good fitting tree starts by measuring your horse’s back with our 3D equine back profiling system is designed to classify the horse’s back, identifying measurements of the width, angle, and twist. From these measurements, we can build a tree to fit your horse’s unique shape and to monitor changes in the horse’s back over time.

    You can use our 3D equine back profiling system to measure your horse. Purchase them on this page by adding the 3D equine back profiling system to your cart. If you return them and purchase a saddle, we will refund the charges, less shipping, by applying a credit to your purchase. (If you live outside of Canada, ask us how you should mark your paperwork to avoid duty taxes when returning the cards.)

    The 3D equine back profiling system contains everything you will need to complete the task. Additionally, we have an online video you can watch, and you can contact us by phone or a video app, so we can see what you are seeing.

    We will be in contact with you about your options. Our Get Started Page has  further instruction.


    100% Wool Felt Pads

    Our 1/2″ self contouring pads are designed for our saddles and match your horse’s shape, cut out to protect the horse from the cable and allow the latigo layers to hang below, eliminating pressure points. They are made with the highest quality Pure Wool Felt available and are made with heat and pressure (never needled) with a Compression rating of 6.0 to 7.0 PSI and a Tensile strength of 200 PSI.
