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 ridersweight 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; it is in HORSES and MULES.
