Welcome to Hardcore Saddles . . .
We began the idea of our own saddle and tack business when we were looking for a custom saddle maker and/or saddle that would be truly unique. After a very long search and speaking with numerous saddle makers, all we could find were the cookie cutter saddles and the custom saddles that looked like the same traditional type designs. At that point we decided to start our own business building Custom One Of A Kind Saddles! We are not trying to insult the traditional saddle makers, there are a lot of Cowboys and Girls that like the traditional designs. We are attempting to evolve saddle and tack designs and offer unique ideas to the next generation of Cowboys and Cowgirls, so they can have a saddle that not only fits them and their horses, but their personalities too! While we are a relatively young company we have the experience and knowledge to build you a truly custom and unique saddle.
As a TRULY CUSTOM SADDLE MAKER, we build high quality handcrafted custom saddles and tack. Our Saddles are made from the highest quality materials. We have teamed with some really great suppliers, which share our vision on offering high quality unique saddles. Our saddles start on a Precision Saddle Tree ™, these are wood trees reinforced with Kevlar® and covered in DURAhide™. A common saddle tack just bends and curls on these trees, they are the sturdiest tree we have seen to date (for those who wish to ahave a rawhide covered tree we can order them too). We cover our saddles in the highest quality Herman Oak® leathers, using only stainless steel or brass hardware (customer’s preference). We have also teamed with two excellent stirrup makers. For those prefering traditional wood stirrups bound with stainless steel or brass we use Weber Stirrups. Now for the truly “Hardcore Cowboy” we use Basin Tack Company to get truly unique Custom Aluminum Stirrups. We are also an authorized retailer for both stirrup makers, so please let us know if you only need stirrups!
As you will soon see, there is nothing ordinary about our extraordinary works of art. Each saddle is carefully designed, skillfully assembled, and masterfully finished using only the finest and highest quality materials available. Each of our saddles is individually handcrafted with one buyer in mind . . . the horseman or horsewoman who demands the very best for themselves and insists on the very best equipment for their horses. Whether you are a cowboy or cowgirl at heart or one who earns a living horseback, you’ll enjoy visiting our Saddle and Tack galleries of uniquely beautiful but undeniably serviceable tools of the cowboy trade. Above all, our goal is QUALITY not QUANTITY and every aspect of our saddles is an example of un-compromised quality. We hope that when you are done browsing our website you are ready to become a “Hardcore Cowboy”!
