Our Story — Premium Saddle Shop
Every saddle has a story to tell. Ours began not in a corporate boardroom or behind a desk, but right where it belongs—in a busy workshop filled with the smell of rich leather, the hum of hand tools, and a deep love for horses.
Long before Premium Saddle Shop grew to serve riders across the United States, Europe, and Australia, our family was already living and breathing saddlery. We grew up around horses and workbenches, learning from a young age that building or fitting a saddle isn’t just about selling gear. It’s about understanding the horse’s back, feeling how leather breaks in, and respecting the trust a rider places in their tack.
Born in the Workshop, Built for the Ride
Our business grew out of something simple: a desire to get back to real, honest saddlery.
Over the years, as mass-produced tack started filling tack rooms, we noticed a shift. Tree sizes were inconsistent, leather quality was being sacrificed for quick turnover, and riders were left dealing with sore horse backs, slipping seats, and endless frustration trying to find a good fit.
We knew there had to be a better way. By combining generations of practical leatherworking experience with modern fitting techniques, we set out to build a shop where riders could buy with complete confidence—knowing every saddle was crafted to perform and built to last.
How We Do Things Differently
As a family business, we take every order personally. When a saddle leaves our shop, it carries our name, so we don’t take shortcuts.
-
Checked by Hand, Every Single Time: Whether it’s a brand-new dressage saddle, a rugged western rig, or a pre-loved trade-in, every saddle is hand-inspected before it goes out. We check the tree for structural soundness, evaluate the flocking, inspect the stitching, and test the billets. If it isn’t solid, it doesn’t go on our shelves.
-
Made for Real Discipline Needs: We stock gear for riders who actually ride. From jump saddles built for shoulder freedom over fences, to endurance models designed for long trail miles, to adjustable saddles for growing horses—every piece is chosen with function in mind.
-
Honest, Human Fitting Advice: Horse backs change with age, season, and workload. We’re always here to look at your wither tracings, review photos, and help you find a fit that keeps your horse comfortable and moving freely.
Global Reach, Family Core
What started as a hands-on local workshop has grown into a shop that ships across North America, the UK, Europe, and Australia.
Even as we’ve grown, our core rules haven’t changed:
-
Never compromise on safety or tree quality.
-
Treat every rider like a neighbor at the barn.
-
Stand behind our work with straightforward warranties and real support.
