Saddle making involves understanding the structure and function of
a horses' back. Then you have to apply that knowledge to make a saddle
that will allow the maximum amount of freedom and range of motion possible
while equally distributing the riders’ weight across as large a surface
as possible. Crest Ridge Saddlery® specializes in doing just that,
in a saddle that will withstand hard use by an ardent trail rider. Crest
Ridge Saddlery® has been targeting our saddles to the Gaited Horse
market, because they have been historically very hard to fit. Our expertise
is not just in Gaited Horse’s; it is in HORSES and MULES.
We have always done saddles for Stock Horses and Mules as well it
is just happens that we have specialized in Gaited Horses. WHY? Because
the need was so great in the Gaited Horse community for a saddle that FITS.
The methods we use to fit a gaited horse apply to all breeds of horses. A Horse is a Horse; each is an individual that has specific needs
in their saddle. Different breeds have different bar angles, builds, and
shapes and it is all about studying the various top lines and a bunch of
practice getting it right to be a great fitter or saddle maker. We have
the saddles, we have and do fit Quarter Horses, Morgans, Arabs, ect.. on
a regular basis.
To be a fitter it takes a good eye, accurate measurements, and while
fitting over the phone or internet it takes a great knowledge of breed
body types in order to put it all together as an exact science. Crest Ridge
Saddlery® has been fitting horses successfully “online” for over 4
years. Using the same measurement instructions on the “Measurement
page” call us with the wire you used and a tape measure in hand and
talk with one of our fitters. If the measurements are not exactly as we
feel they should be we may ask you to send some photos and ask you a few
questions about the type of horse we are trying to fit. While asking questions
and by you providing us with good details and us using your eyes, and the
measurements that you provide we can confidently fit anything from a Welch
Pony to a Draft Cross Mule and most anything else in between.
Go through our saddle page and pick out a saddle that you would like
us to build for your specific breed, spend a few minutes on the phone with
us and within in a few short weeks you will be riding in one of America’s
finest fitting saddles available in today's marketplace. From the
very start that was and always will be our number one promise to you is…

These saddles pictured are "Trail Saddles" If you intend to be dallying
off horses to the swell of your saddle then you need to add $75.00 for
a Roping Tree to be built on your Crest Ridge Saddle. Roping saddles can
withstand the stress of being jerked on, Trail Saddles cannot and the tree

what the saddle is designed to do.
