The Ericksen Mountain Saddle
All of our saddles are handmade from Hermann Oak skirting leather. It features braided rawhide on the horn and swells laced to match, a rawhide cantle binding, and the slots in the cantle are lined with rawhide as well. It’s durable and looks good.
There are seven large 1½ inch Dee rings attached with rawhide so there are ample places to attach rifle scabbards, cameras, tie ropes, cruppers, britchin, or whatever in a secure manner.
We cut slots in the cantle which we call “Santa Fe” slots, after the old mountain man type saddle. These are good for tying on big game or extra packs.
We use only “Ralide” trees in our saddles. We hand-shape the bars to fit horses and mules and hand shape the seat to fit most people. We fit 90% of Mules and 80% of horses. It is an Improved Association style with a semi-quarter horse spread to the bars. We offer 4 standard seat lengths: 14”, 15”, 16”, & 17”, with your choice of 4” or 5” cantle. We also offer 12", 13", & 18" on a custom basis. We offer custom tooling for an additional cost. Call for pricing. |
