Shop 400+ new & used saddles and quality tack, all while supporting a business that gives back to our horse community. Saddle Up Western Saddle & Tack Shop — Family-Owned Since 1997 🤠

We’re a family business through and through, and honestly? Saddle Up started back in 1996 as Dick’s “retirement hobby” (you know how those go), and in 2009 his daughter Danna joined the ride. Fast-forward to today and we’ve got 200+ new and used saddles in stock — and the lineup changes daily. If you don’t see your perfect match today, check back tomorrow… it just might roll in!

⭐ Our Upgrade Program

Horses aren’t cheap — we get it. So we created a program that helps riders start where they’re comfortable and level up when the time is right. Here’s the deal: start with a quality saddle that fits your horse and your budget. When you're ready to upgrade, bring it back and we’ll take it in on trade less 30% toward a higher-priced saddle (new or used from our inventory — consignment excluded). It’s the perfect way to ease into riding, try different fits, or finally make the jump to your dream saddle.

🐴 Buying, Selling, Trading & Consigning

We’re always on the lookout for good, well-loved tack and saddles, and so are our customers. Bring yours in — we buy, trade, and consign every day.

📍 Come Visit or Shop Online

Whether you’re local or scrolling from the barn, we’re here to help you find exactly what you need. Call or email us — odds are, we’ve got it in the shop. Thanks for riding with us,
Danna & the Saddle Up Crew

Sunday Saddle Feature 🤎
This week we’re switching things up with a seriously nice USED Buckaroo Business Wade Western Saddle, #1152-12615. If you’ve been looking for a quality used saddle with traditional Western styling and plenty of craftsmanship, this one deserves a look!

It features smooth leather in a light oil finish with a hard-style seat and beautiful basket and camo tooling throughout. Slotted rasp conchos, saddle strings, and a classic Wade profile finish off the look. Even better, it comes nicely equipped with a matching breast collar, horn wrap, rope strap, and rear cinch.

This saddle does show normal wear and tear from use, but overall it’s a great example of the kind of quality used saddles that can come through our doors.
Saddle Details:
• 14.5" finished seat
• 6" gullet, measured mid-concho to mid-concho
• 26" skirt
• Approx. 34 lbs.
• 3" cantle
• 2.75" horn
• C-plate rigging
• Includes matching breast collar
• Includes horn wrap, rope strap & rear cinch
• Normal wear and tear

$3,750.99
Come check out #1152-12615 in person at Saddle Up or find it on our website. With used saddles, when there’s only one, there’s only one!

As always, measurements are provided as a reference. Saddle fit depends on much more than gullet width alone.

A saddle can look level and still have pressure points underneath. It can tip forward, slide forward or backward, roll side to side, or simply feel unstable, and the cause isn’t always that the saddle is “too wide” or “too narrow.”

In this quick video, we go over some of the different issues we commonly see and why physically feeling underneath the saddle is such an important part of evaluating fit.

We can’t see through the leather! A saddle may look perfectly fine from the outside while something very different is happening between the tree and the horse’s back.

Problems with stability or pressure can potentially be related to several factors, including:

• Too much rock in the tree
• A tree that is too flat for the horse
• Saddle placement
• Cinch size or positioning
• A breast collar that is adjusted too tightly
• Muscle atrophy or changes in the horse’s topline
• Uneven or inconsistent contact underneath the tree
• The overall shape of the saddle and horse not matching

That’s why saddle fit needs to be evaluated as a whole rather than relying on one measurement or simply looking at the saddle from the outside.

Your eyes can give you clues, but your hands help tell the rest of the story. 🐴
