Following in the footsteps of Al & Ann Stolman, both master Saddle makers, Gordon Isherwood fashions his Western Saddles using traditional methods and materials.  Crafting the Leather to the highest detail and quality.

These Saddles are built on the strongest and most durable Saddle Tree possible, the Original Rawhide Tree.  Your Tree can incorporate the style of Swell and Horn you require.  Also the style of Bars and of course the Cantle.  The design of the Bars of a Rawhide Tree gives a great area of weight dispersal.

The 100% Hand Crafted, Custom Built Saddle is made to fit Horse and Rider with the utmost comfort.

Shearling, Woolskin Lining, is Bark Tanned.  This means that no chemical agents have been used.  The result is a lining which does not generate heat on the back of the horse, as synthetic materials can do.  As well as being comfortable for the horse it also gives maximum comfort to the rider.

All Saddles come with a Five Year Guarantee.
