As one of the few saddlery companies in the world which actually make their own trees, County sets the industry standard in design and innovation.

Our traditional methods take longer and require a higher degree of craftsmanship, but once you sit in a County, we know you will agree that the results are clearly worth it. Although we custom make saddles for many of the worlds leading riders, our commitment to quality and detail is reflected in every saddle we make, including the one we will make for you.

Custom Saddle Makers and Correct Saddle Fitting Guidelines

At www.saddles.com we offer a large selection of comfortable horse saddles that are handcrafted using traditional methods. Our craftsmanship makes us stand out among dressage saddle stores; we use genuine leather and laminated beechwood trees. We also stand out because we are custom saddle makers. We don't mass produce saddles. Each of our County saddles is designed and built for an individual horse. Professional fitters use correct saddle fitting techniques to evaluate and assess horses and riders to ensure a saddle that fits properly.

When saddles are the wrong size they can cause horse back problems and other ailments like bad behavior. If you have noticed a change in your horse's behavior when you put the saddle on, this could be an indication of an improper fit. We recommend using the saddle fitting methods we have provided to determine if this is the cause of behavior issues. Often times, a horse will act out to demonstrate pain or discomfort. If this seems to be the case, we recommend having a professional assessment performed. Continuing to use a saddle that does not fit can cause serious ailments for your horse. Our professional fitters can help you select the right model, seat size and tree size to enhance the comfort and performance of your horse.
