| |  Custom Western Saddles
| A little history...
The first western saddles were inspired by the Spanish and Mexican Vaqueros or charros - the first America cowboys. In the 1400’s the Spanish had brought two basic saddle styles with them along with their horses, La Estradiota, and La Jineta. The first Western saddles had no horn; instead, a rope would be tied to a D-ring. Somewhere along the line some ingenious Vaquero invented a large wooden saddle horn that was made part of the saddle tree. By the beginning of the nineteenth century, the Vaquero stock saddle had evolved to the point that it was the standard in the western part of the United States. One of the distinguishing features of a western saddle is double rigging which first started to appear on saddles in the Texas area. The rear cinch was designed to keep the back of the saddle from lifting when roping. |
