NEWS
from Crest Ridge Saddlery
We have completed our
transition to 100% custom made saddles. We acquired
new equipment and trained new
personnel so that we now have direct control over all
aspects of manufacturing our saddles. Eliminating
supplier manufactured saddle parts allows us to maintain
the highest quality standards and to build for each of
our customers the exact saddle they desire.
We can custom build you a
personalized saddle.

Saddle Fitting for
Gaited Horses and Mules
Proper
saddle fit is essential for gaited horses and
mules.
A poor fitting saddle will cause your gaited horse or
mule to
quickly develop a sore back, making it difficult to
maintain a smooth gait. Our
“How to Measure” provides a simple but effective way
for us to determine which of our over 18
saddle trees will best fit your gaited horse or
mule. We’re here to help you find the gaited horse
or
mule saddle that fits!
Crest Ridge Saddlery offers saddle models
especially designed for gaited horses and gaited mules. With our ever expanding selection of built saddle trees, we have a saddle that will
fit your gaited horse or mule. We invite you to
compare our selection of
gaited horse saddles,
mule
saddles,
saddle
pads and matching
accessories with the
much more limited offerings of our competitors.
We can also custom build a saddle personalized to
satisfy your specific requirements.
Crest Ridge Saddlery offers
saddles and
tack perfect for
western trail riders, endurance riders and hunters.
Our high quality materials and superb craftsmanship will
provide you years of trouble free service.
We proudly make our saddles in the USA.
Specifically designed and built with the avid or
professional gaited horse and mule rider in
mind!
Everything we sell is backed by our passion for
excellence in customer service. Our service is
just beginning when you buy a gaited horse saddle or any
other product directly from us. Our customers’
testimonials are our best reference.
Our customers have found Crest Ridge
saddles to be ideal
for Tennessee Walking Horses, Missouri Fox Trotters,
Rocky Mountain Horses, Paso Finos, Icelandic Horses,
Racking Horses, American Saddlebreds and many other
gaited horses. Our large selection of custom
designed saddle trees allows us to better fit saddles
for all of the gaited horse breeds and gaited mules.
Expert Saddle Fitting is the Crest
Ridge Difference
Proper
saddle fit doesn’t happen, it's an art and science
that we’ve learned through years of custom saddle making
and leading trail rides for thousands of customers
through the Ozark National Forest. Our
custom
saddles are built on our own trees, not commercially
purchased trees. Our center balanced trees put you
in the proper equitation alignment. The flare tree of
each allows the gaited horse a non-interfering, equal
weight bearing foundation to carry the rider for long
hours. We invite you to see for yourself why this will
be the last saddle you own! If you would like Debra to
conduct a saddle fitting clinic for your riding group or
organization, just call or drop her an
e-mail for more information.
Our saddles and matching
accessories provide you a
one-stop shop for gaited horse saddles, mule saddles and
tack. We especially recommend our
Crest Ridge/5-Star wool felt pads which provide the
ultimate saddle pad fit for your gaited horse or mule.
Our custom made gaited horse saddles combined with our
wool felt pads provide the ultimate in comfort for you
and your hose.

This business and

reflection of our lives. The saddles offered

many years of experience in the horse industry
with many hours in the saddle!

A Testimonial:
Dear Debra,
I wanted to thank you again
for the fantastic job you did working with me to
fit my husband's large wide haflinger Blue with
a new saddle. Poor Blue had suffered
for about three years while we tried several
different saddles on him from various saddle
companies and nothing really fit him. By
the time I called you Blue was being treated by
an equine chiropractor for a very sore back.
The service that you provided was far above
anything I would expect
from a saddle company and you really know
western saddle fit. You certainly hadn't
caused Blue's sore back yet you worked with me
and the chiropractor over several
weeks, exchanging photos, measurements, and
phone calls with the chiropractor and me until
you were able to provide us with a Crusade
saddle made on a tree that fits Blue and is
comfortable for my husband to ride. 
We have been using the saddle for about a month
now and the change in Blue is amazing! He
is no longer a resistant, high-headed horse with
a hollow back. Instead, he is moving with
a relaxed head and neck , and has much smoother
gaits and transitions. I am sure that if
Blue could talk he would say THANK YOU DEBRA!
In retrospect I should
have called you sooner since you fit
my small haflinger mare, Piper, with your
ovation saddle 2 years ago. I have
received many compliments on the saddle and how
well it fits both me and Piper. I am sure
we will have our Crestridge saddles for many
years to come but if we ever need another saddle
you will be our first call. Best, Kathleen
(June 2010)
