The equipment that we use to work our horses in and coach our riders in makes the difference between a stiff lope departure and a seamless one.

It helps determine whether your horse can lope comfortably with his shoulders so he can flex and relax across his topline and utilize his hind quarters.

It determines whether or not you can sit down deep for your stop or whether you get launched forward when you say, “whoa”.

Proper fitting equipment will save you on vet visits, chiropractic work, supplements, and can lengthen your horse’s showing career. Heck, it can lengthen YOUR career in the saddle too.

Tack is a big deal.

🦬 What's the BISON SEAT like to ride in?
💫 It's got just a bit more grip to it than a smooth seat but not as much as a roughout.
💪🏻 The bison hide is a little tougher and meant to last a little longer than cowhide.
👉 So far we are really liking them and they're a hit with our clients not just because of the look, but the performance too.
🆙 A bison seat is considered an upgrade when you order a Bob’s Custom Saddle, which means it's not included in the base price of the saddle like the smoothout or roughout.

Can we talk about fender length for a sec?

I was on the phone with Chris Weaver from Bob’s Custom Saddles earlier this week and we were discussing ways to make a saddle to fit a client with specific needs.

When it came to fenders we said, ALMOST in unison, “Fender length can make or break saddle fit”.

🤭

If your fenders are the correct length for you, you should be riding in one of the middle holes of your stirrup leathers.

You should not have to crank them all the way up, add holes and suffer from sore ankles because they’re being pulled in from the bulk of leather.

I’ve done this for years. I’m 5’9 and in most reining saddles I adjust my stirrups to the highest hole.

That’s because most reining saddles are made for 6ft tall men!

😵‍💫

What happens to your body when your fenders are too long? They create tension in your ankle which tracks up into your knee, hip and lower back.

They can create pinching in the knee area with the dee ring.

They can make you have to fight to stay back in your saddle and pop you forward in your stops.

🙈

There are other factors to consider too, like the shape of the fender where it attaches to the saddle and the overall width.

I would LOVE to help for you for a custom saddle with fenders to match your inseam.

Shoot me a message to set up a consultation.

Not ready to buy a custom saddle but want some advice? We can set up a consult for that too!

Undecided on a back cinch for your saddle?

Do I need one? I don't typically ride in one but I do want to do some more Ranch Riding and would love to work some cows...

When you order a Bob's Custom Saddle, you can choose not only from adding a back cinch or not adding a back cinch, but also how it attaches to your saddle.

For example, the owner of the saddle pictured, isn't in the habit of using a back cinch to rein in. She did want to order her back cinch with her custom saddle so it would match her saddle and so she could add it on when she wants to do some more Ranch Riding or try working the flag or the cows.

She went with a leather keeper which can easily be pulled off and the back cinch can be totally removed or added back on easily.

If you're riding in a back cinch all the time, you might opt to have it laced on, rather than the keeper.

Everything is customizable and we are HAPPY to help you through the process of selecting the options that are right for you.

Shoot me a message to find out more about custom options and the process of starting a build sheet with your desired specs.

Can we take a moment and drool over Sarah’s saddle?!
🤤 🤤 🤤
It’s an antique light/medium finish.
Those conchos are sterling silver with matching rear dees.
The seat is chocolate bison.
The tree, seat, fenders and skirt shape are all going to make a massive difference in Sarah’s equitation and how easily she sits her stops on her Futurity horse!
We had fun putting this saddle together and I’m so thankful Sarah trusted me for this process. I only wish I could be there when she rides in it!
Thanks Sarah and CONGRATS!

👀 Check out Stacey’s new custom saddle and the newest seat colour!
This is a smoothout seat and the colour is called Ranger Russet Brown.
Stacey went with a medium oil and combination of small basket and California floral corners.
We went with a 1” dropped rigging to reduce some bulk and a skirt with a lot of leg clearance.
The conchos are the classic Arizona tooled, sterling silver, round conchos.
🍁 🍁 🍁 🍁 🍁
There are endless options to create a timeless look as well as unique customizations to suit your equitation and body type.

✨ This saddle is a class act.

💫 Double padded, chocolate bison seat (no, don’t worry, the double padding isn’t bunchy at all).
💫 KR fenders. They’re narrow and combined with the large cutout under the rider’s leg, this saddle offers loads of leg mobility.
💫 The most beautiful sterling silver conchos with coordinating front and rear dee rings.

We sure don't!

Let's talk about the tooling on this saddle for a second. This is considered to be full tooling, because the tooling covers the entire saddle.

You can find this option on the Bob's Custom Saddles website under Custom Options - Tooling. It's the floral pattern called, "Paradise Valley", which is a combination of a few different types of flowers.

Doesn't it look great paired with the upgraded rear floral dees and the Sierra conchos?

Our new website dedicated to Bob's Saddles and simplifying the order process is LIVE! You can check that out at:

Or shoot us a message and we can discuss what's possible in terms of creating something beautiful with all the functionality to enhance your riding!

Look at that rust iron and silver combo on the concho and front dee!

Melissa has ridden in Bob’s saddles for a long time. The saddle she’s replacing is a 1987 Bob’s! Still in great shape!

For her custom saddle she chose:

💎 Cowhorse horn, back cinch and on-tree rigging so she can easily swap back and forth from reining to cowhorse

💎 Rust iron with silver scroll conchos and dees so she can jump to the ranch riding pen without too much shiny silver

💎 Dark chocolate colour with black smoothout seat that compliments her palomino

And about 37 other options we worked through together to make sure she was getting something beautiful, functional and versatile.

She’s finished it off with a pair of our Nettles stirrups.

Can’t WAIT to see this saddle in the show pen!

✨“All seats are not created equal.”
I have found myself saying this twice this week.
1️⃣ When someone told me they’d been riding in a different brand and just tried a Bob’s for the first time. She couldn’t get over how much better the seat fit her even though it was the same size as her own saddle.
2️⃣ When someone asked if I thought a rider should be in a bigger seat size to allow for her pelvis to rock under and allow the horse to engage through the back. Again, the rider wasn’t in a Bob’s saddle and the seat wasn’t too small, it just didn’t allow her body to set the way it should.
👆Especially frustrating was that this rider COULD put her body where it needed to be but was fighting her saddle.
If you’re curious about the different seat options and what they can do for your equitation, I’m your girl!
Can we also talk about the full floral pommel here? Wow.
That’s a chocolate bison seat, chocolate Avila lacing and extra small basket stamp too.

I know the corner silver sort of steals the show here but look at the tooling on that cantle.
Those delicate little leaves 😱

This saddle doesn’t have the antique finish on it that gives some depth and takes some of the red out of the hide. As soon as it hits the sun and starts getting worn it’s going to develop a beautiful patina and that tooling is going to look even better.
This show saddle is available and we’ve got a couple work, show and cowhorse saddles shipping soon.

Shoot me a message if you’re anxious to see them before they go up on our shop or if you want to get started on your own custom order!

How much do we think Katie is going to enjoy riding in her new saddle?!

Ugh, I wouldn't have minded if it stayed around a little longer...same with the headstall that matches it!

Katie knew what she wanted with this saddle but kept an open mind when she tried some demo saddles.

Now she's got a saddle that fits her horse and helps them both lope more comfortably so Katie can work on impulsion and getting to the show pen! She might even slap a breastcollar on it and take it in the ranch riding!

Ok, let me tell you about this cutie that’s on it’s way to Canada:
💎 It’s fully customized and very close to what you know as the Lady Reiner.
💎 High rising seat, double padded, narrow seat, in-skirt rigging and McQuay fenders in the width of the KR fender. Why? Because these specs allow you to relax in the saddle without stretching the hips out a ton. You won’t feel like you’re doing the splits but you’ll still be nice and low in your horse’s back and close to the centre of gravity.
💎Style-wise I was dying to do a free-flowing floral with antiquing. See how the floral doesn’t have a border? The leaves and petals flow right into the smooth leather. The antiquing gives it the depth.
💎We had the square, sterling silver conchos set on the diamond because it’s pretty and just a bit unique without being too flashy, ya know?
Seriously, zoom in on the tooling on that pommel. It’s unreal.
Aaaaaand she’s under $6k USD.
Do we love?

💠Headstall Moment 💠 We didn’t even help the customer who chose this custom headstall to match her saddle. She knew exactly what she wanted and the result is…even better 😌. There are lots of ways to order a custom headstall but most people either: 1) Find a picture of something they love and have something made with similar specs 2) They send us a photo of their saddle and we help come up with some options. Either way, it’s so fun to see it come to life like this one for Katie! @bobssaddlescanada @bobscustomsaddles
