Our Custom Saddles
At David Earle Custom Saddles, every piece is built with one goal: the perfect partnership between rider and horse. From the tree right through to the seat, each saddle is crafted with your story, your needs, and your future in mind.
Using our unique pelvic profiling technique, we ensure you sit in your true balance point — CBC: Comfort + Balance = Confidence — while also fitting your horse correctly for long-term comfort.
In our Wondai workshop, you can see Master Saddler David at work, handcrafting every detail with skill, care, and passion. We involve you in the process every step of the way, so your saddle isn’t just a tool — it’s a legacy piece, built for generations to come.

Our Saddle Collection
At David Earle Custom Saddles, every saddle is more than equipment — it’s a legacy piece, built to connect horse and rider with comfort, balance, and tradition.
Explore our collection of handcrafted designs, each made to order in our Wondai workshop.
