Saddle Up is a family owned business in Gilcrest, Colorado, and we love what we do! Saddle Up has over 250 new/used saddles, and an amazing selection of tack!
(1)

We take pride in knowing our customers by name and giving back within the communities we serve. Saddle Up, Western Saddle and Tack Shop is a family owned and operated business. We Love What We Do! Saddle Up was started as a retirement hobby by Dick in 1996 and in 2009 his daughter Danna came on board. Today we have over 200 new and used saddles and the selection changes daily! If we don’t have it

today, check back tomorrow, it just might be here! We know that the investment of having horses is a big one so at Saddle Up we offer an upgrade program which is great for beginning riders and of course you! Realizing that you can’t always start with the saddle of your dreams, our upgrade program allows you to start with a comfortable saddle (sometimes not only for you but also for your pocket book) and when you’re ready to take that step up we will take your original saddle back in on trade less 30% towards a higher priced saddle. It’s a great way to test the waters or work your way up to that dream saddle!! (The new saddle must be a new or used saddle that we already own, meaning it cannot be a consignment saddle). In addition to Saddle Up having a great selection of new and used western saddles and tack, we also take trades, consign and buy your used saddles and tack. We are always looking for good quality saddles and tack and so are our customers! So no matter what you need stop in and see us today or shop online! If you don’t see what you need just shoot us an email or give us a call because I’m sure we have it! Thank you,
Danna & Staff at Saddle Up

We appreciate your business!

🧲 Saddle Pad Sizing Tips for Your Western Saddle🐎

Choosing the right saddle pad size is crucial for your horse's comfort and your saddle’s fit! Always ensure your saddle pad extends at least 2 inches beyond the front and back of your saddle. This means you should have about **two fingers’ width of pad visible** in both areas.

A properly sized pad prevents pressure points and keeps your saddle secure during the ride. Happy trails! 🌾🐴

🤠 Saddle Feature Sunday 🤠

Looking for a saddle that's out of this world? Look no further than the Saturn Rising barrel saddle! This beautiful saddle features a custom Saturn stamp, Box Diamond geometric tooling, a vintage finish, custom turquoise star conchos, and a hardseat. It's specially designed to keep the rider in an ultimate position with its 4 1/2" cantle and 13" swell. The rider will feel like they're soaring through the sky in the Saturn Rising saddle! So don't wait any longer; order your new rocket ship today!

IDEAL FOR:
• The barrel racer who wants a traditional barrel saddle but prefers to have a tad bit more freedom between swell and cantle.
• The horse that needs a wider tree fit from the shoulder to the loin.
• The horse that needs a balanced fit that is provided by our 7/8” In-Skirt rigging.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT:
• You won’t find a saddle like this anywhere else. Our Saturn Rising features custom Saturn stamps on the skirts and horn cap and is coupled with ½ Box Diamond geometric tooling in a vintage finish.
• The Saturn Rising is built on our High Country Barrel Tree. We designed our High Country Barrel Tree to fit the foundation-built horse that is wider from the shoulder to the loin. This tree comes in one size only, contact our customer service team if you have any saddle fit questions!
• Added strings will really have you riding out of this world with the flare of fashion it adds.
• This saddle only weighs in at 25 pounds!

HELPFUL TIPS:
• 7/8” In-Skirt rigging is the most commonly used because it provides enough stability to the front of the saddle without interfering with movement!
• Hardseat saddles are a timeless choice known for their unmatchable comfortability once broken in.
