MCS Saddletree Academy is a highly in-depth training program designed and ran by Matt Miller. It encompasses horse conformation, as to how it relates to the saddletree and finished saddle, as well as the rider’s body type and size. Matt says, “The difference between a mediocre and exceptional tree is effort and great training.” His years of doing clinics and interacting with the public have given him the ability to teach, engage and relate very effectively to his students. He feels that the many custom saddle makers trying to obtain quality trees could benefit greatly from a better selection of products to draw from. Therefore, Matt has decided that he will accept a few devoted individuals to train to make saddletrees.
The school is four weeks long, five days a week. Students keep all work done in class as well as the jigs and patterns necessary to start your business. Matt is also available after training to answer those important questions that will always come up.
