FROM HORSEBACK TO HANDMADE LEATHER GOODS
Leaning Oak Leathercraft was inspired by years of 'horsing around.' From trail riding in Virginia as a kid with my mom, to cowboying on farms in Texas, my experiences on horseback gave me a unique perspective on leather. I've always been hands-on and could never find a saddle that was just what I wanted.
Eventually, I decided to make my own! I've custom built dozens of saddles and have done repairs for over 20 years. Working from my private shop allows me to focus on creating saddles that are not only safe and comfortable, but also embody the profound connection between rider and horse. My commitment to high quality and stylish design ensures you receive saddle that will last a lifetime - for you and your horse.
Thoughtful design and exceptional craftsmanship don't just happen. They require skill, patience and dedication. That's where we come in. We use only the highest quality leathers and design materials. Our saddles are built to serve you and your champion for a lifetime. With careful attention to the nuances of your riding style and individual taste, we ensure the finest components and safest techniques are used in our craft. Rigorous analysis of your needs starts with measuring your horse and discussing your needs, ensuring true custom work.
