Saddle Making

Saddle making is the craft of designing and constructing saddles, which are important riding gear for horses. A saddle provides comfort and security for both the rider and the horse. The process involves selecting materials like leather and padding, cutting and shaping them, and assembling the parts to create a functional and ergonomic design. Saddle makers use unique techniques to ensure durability and fit. Custom saddles are often tailored to the horse's shape and the rider’s preferences, enhancing the riding experience and ensuring the animal's well-being. It's a blend of artistry, engineering, and an understanding of equine anatomy.
