They have an up-to-date show ring appearance
but also possess a unique, authentic look. I was proud to ride a Skyhorse to my championships: 1992 U.S. National Champion - Western Sidesaddle, 1992 Scottsdale Champion - Western
Sidesaddle, 1993 Canadian National Champion - Western Sidesaddle, 1993 Reserve U.S. National Champion - Western Sidesaddle As a specialist in dressage, it is imperative to me that while riding Western my saddle be both beautiful in look and fit. I have sat on no other Western Saddle besides my Skyhorse that has given me the equivalent of my dressage saddle. The riding comfort, closeness and workmanship is superior. J. Leslie Wagschal , 10 Times National Champion - Dressage, 3 Times Open National Champion Dressage in U.S. and Canada I was first drawn to Skyhorse Saddles by their beauty. Loren & Lisa were so accommodating and prompt - bending over backwards to make sure I was happy. The custom tooling so impressed me and they did such a great job carving my logo into the design on my Sidesaddle. Its fits my horse and me beautifully. Betty Chapman , Washington - 1992 Scottsdale Champion- 1/2 Arabian Western Sidesaddle, 1992 Canadian Reserve National Champion-Western Sidesaddle Anyone who sees a Skyhorse Saddle knows they are expertly hand-crafted--each one a unique and beautiful piece of art. You have to own one to know that they fit and ride and wear as beautifully as they look. We are wildly lucky because we own four Skyhorse Saddles. Our show saddles never fail to draw attention and comments from fellow exhibitors and spectators for they are so exceptional. And our work saddle gets used and abused and looks and feels as good as the day we bought it. Our grandchildren don't know how lucky they are - learning to ride on the very best. Michael & Sherrilyn Pasternak, Tennessee I have had so much enjoyment and use from my two gorgeous Skyhorse Saddles. The tooling
is absolutely the most beautiful I have ever seen, as well as unique. When I came to Lisa & Loren with ideas for an American Indian tooling design, their execution of this was beyond my
highest expectations. Now that these saddles have seen so many hours and miles of use they just get better and better. My newest one is so incredibly comfortable, light weight and close
contact - the type of saddle I can just spend hours in and not get tired. Diane Powers Troys Western Heritage Gallery started as a saddle shop in 1956. We then evolved into a fine art gallery.

Skyhorse Saddle Company, Box 4317, Durango, CO 81301 Site design by www.will-harris.com |
Unbridled elegance in custom saddles... A Skyhorse saddle is a singular work of art, created specifically for horse and rider by master
saddlemakers Lisa and Loren Skyhorse. The finest materials, traditional craftsmanship, uncompromising dedication to detail and quality, these are the hallmarks of a Skyhorse saddle.
The edges of their saddles are all rubbed to a smooth patina, or
trimmed with Loren Skyhorse's famous eight-strand edge braid, in either traditional kangaroo leather lace or our exclusive solid sterling silver braid. Our remarkable silver braiding is a Skyhorse saddle
company trademark and is unique throughout the industry.
Silver accents, handcrafted by a
select few silversmiths, add spirit and beauty to any Skyhorse saddle. Our exceptional conchos are fashioned to your personal taste and range in style from traditional engraving to overlay,
inlay, stamped, hammered, polished, or set stones.
Native American
weavings and exotic leathers, including full quill ostrich, stingray, and alligator, can be overlaid or inlaid for a crowning touch.
Every aspect of the construction, from materials to workmanship, is uncompromised quality. We average 30 saddles per year, so every saddle we
built is important to us. Our saddles are not only beautiful and comfortable, they are built strong enough to be roped off of. Another Skyhorse trademark is our fully inlaid padded seats. The inlay protects the
edges of the soft leather and allows us to inlay Navajo weavings or exotic leather. It most importantly offers less bulk and more close contact. The foam is a closed cell that offers great padding, and does not absorb water.
