How do you ensure that the saddle tree fits the horse?


This is our number one priority. There are a number of different ways that we can do this. First, you can bend a wire over the horse's withers. Next, trace the wire outline onto a paper. Then, mail the paper to us. The second way is to bring the horse to the Frecker's Saddlery, and we will do the measuring. Third, there is a form you can buy that when heated will form to the shape of your horse. We can then use the form to get the necessary measurements. Please email or contact us for more information.

How long does it take to get a saddle?


Kent is not taking any new customers at this time. He is concentrating on servicing his existing customers. Dave is booked for two years. Tyler is out about a year, and Crystal is about 6 months. We will occasionally make a collector's saddle or stock saddle which will be posted on our web site, so please check often. Contact us today at (208) 538-7393 to get on the waiting list.

How much of a deposit is required to be on the list?


A $1000 non-refundable deposit is required to be placed on the list. The balance on the saddle needs to be paid before we build the saddle.
