Matt grew up ranching in Nevada, Oregon, and has worked large outfits from Arizona to Montana. His occupations include custom saddletree and saddle maker, professional horseshoer, horse trainer and working cowboy. Formerly a unit manager on one of the largest cattle ranches in Wyoming, he feels that “If you can’t test your own work, how can you design and build saddles that work correctly? How better than long hard hours, countless miles and wet saddle blankets?” With a lifetime of ranching experience and a vast range of expertise related to the proper interaction between horse, saddle and rider, Matt can help you with all your saddle related needs. Whether you are an equestrian hobbyist or a working cowboy, Matt can design, fit and build the exceptional custom saddletree and/or saddle that you desire.
Matt was born in Battle Mountain, Nevada in 1958. He was raised in Nevada and Oregon on family ranches. He started working expansive outfits when cowboys still rode for a living and lived on the wagon, not wore out horse trailers. It was a perfect opportunity for someone with the passion to understand how the saddle, horse and the rider could harmonize to create the ultimate experience in horsemanship.
Matt came from a family of saddle makers. As so, the desire to learn more was there from a very young age. With extensive time in the saddle, afforded to him by his occupation and hard work, the knowledge and understanding necessary to define the mechanics of saddles and trees was obtained and utilized.
Matt started building custom saddles in the early 1980's and began his saddletree business in 1994. He managed to both continue ranching and to develop a very unique product consisting of top quality trees and saddles. Matt now puts all his experience and expertise to work focusing on providing products of unparalleled quality to satisfied customers around the world.
