Quality Materials


One of the reasons we love Tucker saddles here at the Horse Saddle Shop is because they don’t take shortcuts and use cheap materials. We know that if you purchase a Tucker saddle, you probably won’t return it! Tucker uses world-class leather, hardware, and trees that are precisely made to their specifications and guidelines from the finest tanneries and hardware manufacturers in the world.


The saddle leather is durable yet supple, with a beautiful rich appearance. Natural range marks enhance the quality and give you assurance that the leather is top-grain. The hardware is resistant to rust and corrosion from sweat, rain, stress, and other abuses. The trees are made of wood covered with DURAhide to protect it from the elements. They are designed to fit the horse properly, and provide ample strength while being as lightweight as possible.


Tucker skirts are lined with Genuine Wool Felt skirt lining. It offers tremendous natural shock absorption as well as many years of durable protection for the saddle. It does not pack down like fleece or create hard points against your horse.


We’re happy to put our name behind Tucker saddles and are satisfied that you’re getting a saddle that is well designed and durable.
