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 are deciding on buying a new western saddle. The saddles can run as low as a few hundred to above two thousand greenbacks. Custom made saddles can easily run you five thousand and even more.

There are many different brands to choose between. Being able to buy the right saddle for you; takes a little of teaching yourself on the different brands, style and feel of the different western saddles that are available to you. You will be limited by the price range as to what you can get.

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 a few hundred to around 1000 bucks. They can simply take close to a year to make. The saddle maker should be in a position to tell you a good approximation of when the saddle will be done. If they tell you slightly in about a year or so, then get them to nail it down better.

The next range is from the thousand bucks and up price range. These saddles usually have more of the details. But the design on this level will be more tailored towards what you need. No matter what level is your price range; price shouldn't be your sole consideration.

You want to make sure that the saddle is going to have a proper fit. The feel should be comfortable. You want to pick a saddle maker that may satisfy your needs the way that you would like it done. This doesn't need to be a big name maker. If the name is all that matters to you then you may not have a problem with that wait. If you want to have your saddle earlier, then there are tons of quality small western saddle makers that will make a pretty saddle for you. A large amount of them are award winning too.
