Blue Creek Custom Saddles – For work or play.

Welcome to Blue Creek Custom Saddles, where each saddle is made one at a time.

We’d like to tell you we’ve made saddles for certain professional trainers; for this big winner or that big winner – to be completely honest, we’re still waiting for that.  Would that make a difference as to how we make our saddles? Not really. When Blue Creek Custom Saddles was founded by Ian and Sue Huxley over 10 years ago, we decided to make the best saddle possible, use only the best materials and make them affordable.

     

Our customers are people who ride outside the limelight for most of the time. They still have hopes and dreams, like all riders.  Many are achieving their dreams in a Blue Creek Custom Saddle.

From the time one of our distant ancestors put a piece of hide between himself and his horse’s back, riders have been trying to improve on the idea. The need to feel closer, safer, more effective.  There have been some fantastic innovations, especially in tree making, lighter yet stronger. Very clever. Time honoured traditions still prevail in making the actual saddle.

Our goal is quality, not quantity and each saddle that leaves our workshop wears the Blue Creek Custom Saddles brand and is an ambassador for Ian’s reputation as a saddle maker. Each saddle represents Blue Creek Custom Saddles in arenas, on trails and in the bush. For that reason, the quality goes in it before our name does. When you visit Ian’s workshop, you’ll find him building great saddles using the same methods of past generations. You won’t see assembly lines or a lot of high tech equipment.

  

Need a custom saddle but don’t want to wait for it to be built?  The custom saddles shown below are individually handcrafted and are currently available.  Only the finest saddle leather and select rigging hardware is used in the making of these saddles, same as all our saddles.
