Handmade Saddles

 
Built to last, with top-quality saddle skirting leather. Deep, balanced ground seats and free-swinging stirrups so you can ride it all day, COMFORTABLY. These are tough ranching/roping saddles.
In 2020, I received the Saddle Making Fellowship through Art Of The Cowgirl. I went and studied under Nancy Martiny of Martiny Saddle Co.
Base Price: $4700

The Magpie bird is significant to this client. So we decided to incorporate the bird and a feather theme throughout the saddle. See if you can find some more figure carvings on it!
