Olson's Saddle Shop

Custom Saddles Currently Available for Purchase Mountain Wade Mountain Rose Ellensburg Your custom saddle begins with a rawhide covered tree, built according to your type of horse and style of riding.  These trees are made by the finest tree makers in America, to assure quality, stength, reliability, and above all else, comfort for your horse.

Saddles are made with the finest heavy American tanned skirting leather, extra thick bark tanned woolskins, and the finest hardware and latigos available.  Saddles are oiled with pure neatsfoot oil, then given a hand rubbed finish. All my saddles are built with several things in mind -- the conformation and comfort of the horse, a comfortable seat for the rider, light weight while maintaining quality construction and stirrups that let you ride without knee strain.

The seats are narrower and deeper than production saddles, which gives you a very comfortable and secure seat.  My saddles are built to allow maximum "forward thrust" to the stirrup leathers.  Stirrups are made with the "twist-n-wrap" design, so they are set to always be in the correct position, eliminating knee strain.  My in-skirt, flat plate, drop rigging style has become very popular with my customers and has become my standard, although other styles are available.  This rigging is very comfortable for both you and your horse, makes a narrow seat, is strong and helps cut down weight.

A custom made saddle from Olson's Saddle Shop will give you years of pride and joy.  There is something really special about having your own custom-made saddle.  It is truly a wonderful experience for both you and your horse
Base price for my saddles start at $2,950 (plus shipping and insurance).  This is for a 100% ready to ride handmade saddle, which includes cinchas, billets, latigo and covered stirrups.  A single line border stamp is included as standard.  Tooling, figure carving, silver and other options are available at an extra charge.

All custom saddles are made to your specifications, and require up to one year but most will be ready to ship in four to six months.  I require a 50% deposit, the balance when shipped.  Give me a call to discuss your particular needs.

We also carry a fine line of affordable production saddles and other tack.
