Matt has been building custom saddletrees for over 20 years.  He has built for some of the top saddle makers in the United States, and his trees have been ridden by many of the best clinicians and horse trainers across the country and around the world.

 

As a saddle maker, the biggest worry is whether or not the saddle will come back to the shop because it is soring horses.  Because of the design of his trees and his attention to detail, as well as the quality materials, that has never been a problem for Matt.

 

“With a great tree the saddle maker couldn’t hardly mess it up, but the best saddle maker can’t build a great saddle on a poorly designed tree.”

 

All of Matt's trees are constructed out of a laminate of yellow poplar and soft maple using water proof glue. He finishes with three coats of Marine Spar varnish to seal out moisture.  They are then covered with genuine mature bull hide for ultimate strength and stability.  When the hide is completely dry, taking several weeks, the rawhide is then given three coats of specialized finish to seal the hide.  All trees are branded with an ID number that can be accessed even after the saddle is completed.  Matt stands behind his trees 110% and has never had one fail, even under the most strenuous of use.
