Saddle Making School
Applications are now open for 2026 (2025 sold out) - Saddle Making School
This course is for those who have always wanted to try their hand at making their own saddle.
This is not a group setting, or class, this is 1:1 tuition with Dave. The course is flexible (as far as dates) but limited in how many a year we offer this to, and generally you would be needing to invest in 7 - 10 solid days to complete your saddle.
You can choose from Western stock to Wade saddle, we order the trees specifically for your needs.
