Price Is The Decision Maker Or Breaker For Settling On A Western Saddle

By Andre Hansen

There are several western saddle makers to choose from when you're deciding on getting a new western saddle. The saddles can run as low as a few hundred to above a couple of thousand bucks. Custom made saddles can easily run you five thousand and even more. Being able to buy the right saddle for you; takes a bit of educating yourself on the different brands, style and feel of the different western saddles that are open to you. You may be restrained by the price range as to what you can get.

The less expensive end of the price range can be just 2 hundred greenbacks. This doesn't necessarily mean that you will not find a good saddle in this price range. These saddles can take three months or simply a little more.

You can find some saddles that are from a few hundred to around one thousand greenbacks. These saddles are a bit more custom-made. They can easily take close to a year to make. The saddle maker should be able to tell you a good approximation of when the saddle will be done. If they tell you vaguely in roughly a year or so, then get them to nail it down slightly better. Things will most likely come up and can cause there to be a delay.

You can find some saddles that are from about a hundred to around 1,000 greenbacks. They can simply take close to a year to make. If they tell you vaguely in around a year or so, then get them to nail it down slightly better.

The subsequent range is from the thousand dollars and up price range. These saddles usually have more of the details. They will possibly have a special fit. But the design on this level will be more tailored towards what you need. You may require the saddle for show and are willing to pay a little additional for that privilege. The feel must be cozy. This is especially necessary if you want to be in the saddle for some time.

This doesn't need to be a large name maker. If the name is all that matters to you then you may not have an issue with that wait. If you would like to have your saddle earlier, then there are plenty of quality little western saddle makers that can make a gorgeous saddle for you. A large amount of them are prize winning too.
