Ranch Saddles – Western Saddles Built for Long Hardworking Hours on the Ranch
It’s important for ranch saddles to be comfortable and durable as they must endure long hard hours of work in the sun. As the base of the saddle is the tree, it is important for it to be strong. Most ranch saddles are made with a traditional strong wooden tree or a rawhide-wrapped wooden tree which keeps the saddle sitting well on the horse’s back and provides a secure base of support for the rider and any tools the rancher needs to carry.
Leather is typically the material of choice when it comes to ranch saddles. Leather is extremely long wearing and can take the scrapes and snarls that can sometimes occur out on the ranch. Leather can be finished smooth, rough-out, tooled or basket weave designs to name a few.
Ranch saddles are often outfitted with stainless steel rings and fittings for years of rust-free and beautiful use.
