Kent Frecker
I started in the saddle business in Oct. 1981.
I have been self-employed since April of 1990.
I worked with Dale Harwood making the "Ray Hunt" saddles for a year.
Dale has made probably the greatest influence in my saddle making, and I am grateful for his help.
Others who have influenced my work are Bob Ray, Cary Schwarts, and Randy Hansen.
I have made several saddles for Buck Brannaman, Curt Pate, Shayne Jackson, Gary Ruttan,
Roland Moore, Tom Selleck, and others, and have sent saddles all across the country,
Hawaii, Sweden, Norway, and Australia.

David Rigby
Dave has worked with me since 1996 and makes a very good saddle. He also has made
saddles for Buck Brannaman and Curt Pate. Dave grew up on a ranch in Monteview, Idaho, where he learned to ride, rope, and work hard. He is now married to Martha, and together they have a cute little boy, Spencer. He is dedicated to the art of saddlemaking,
and is one of the nicest and most honest person you'll ever meet.

Tyler Frecker
Tyler is Kent's son. He has been working with leather most of his life making chaps, belts, saddle bags, and bucking rolls. He is more dedicated to making saddles than before and is doing a good job. He is working here full time to support his wife, Anna, and sons, Andrew and Eli.

Crystal Smith
Crystal started working for us in 2006. It has been great to have a woman's perspective on our team. She is very talented with leather and is making a good saddle as well as pack saddles, bridles, breast collars, hobbles and so forth. She grew up on the Palisades Creek Ranch in Swan Valley, Idaho. Her father and grandfather before him are outfitters. Crystal started going into hunting camps at age 3 and has worked with horses and people ever since. She is married to Jared and has two children, Trinity and Chesney, who call me Papa. She is expecting her third in June.

Pam Frecker
Meet the best book keeper in the world, my wife. She's beautiful as well. We have been married more than 27 years. She has been a great wife and has put up with a lot getting this saddle shop to run smoothly (we are still working on that). Pam has made chaps, shoeing aprons, cantle bags, and more over the years to help out. We have raised four kids together and they have turned out to be great young adults.

Amy Kerksiek
Amy is the newest member of our team. When you call chances are Amy will be the first person you will talk to. She is whipping us all into shape here managing the web site, taking care of our accounts, shipping, making some tack items, and everything inbetween. Amy is married to Jacob and has four kids, McKay, Kirsten, Cruz & Katanya.

Each custom saddle is stamped with the saddle maker's name on it. We take pride in our work and put our name on it to prove it.
