Tennessee Saddlery is a maker of western-style saddles designed specifically for gaited horses. The company is based in the Tennessee Walking Horse region described on its website as “in the heart of Tennessee Walking Horse country, 30 minutes from Nashville.” According to the company, it has been “making gaited saddles for over 19 years,” with operations dating to 2006. Its saddles are designed for Tennessee Walking Horses, Spotted Saddle Horses, and other Southern gaited breeds, and the company also sells quarter saddles and riding accessories.
Products
Tennessee Saddlery’s product line is organized into these categories:
- Gaited Saddles. Saddles designed for Tennessee Walking Horses, Spotted Saddle Horses, and other Southern gaited breeds.
- Quarter Saddles. Saddles for quarter horses and similar breeds.
- Accessories. Bridles, breast collars, saddle bags, and saddle pads.
The company also lists a New Additions section for recently added products. Saddles are crafted from “full grain, durable leather” and feature custom tooling and design. The company emphasizes affordable pricing, stating that it offers “premium saddles that deliver the same high-quality craftsmanship as the more expensive brands, without the inflated cost.” Best-selling products listed include the All Around at $399, the Bandit at $599, the Barrel Buddy at $399, and the Barrington at $899.
The company explains that its saddles are built specifically for gaited horses rather than adapted from quarter horse designs. According to the website, founder Rich “designed a strong gaited light weight tree in order to help keep the saddle weight down,” with saddles typically weighing 22 to 28 pounds and built from high-quality full-grain leather combined with fiberglass and wood. The company states that “the gaited gullet is 6.75 inches and flared” and, “unlike a full Quarter Horse Bar saddle, it is designed to sit correctly on the withers and not drop down.” The bars measure 13 inches and are “shorter to fit the shorter back of the typical gaited horse,” a design the company says works best for “the flatter back of most southern breeds of gaited horse like Tennessee Walking Horses.” The company notes that it has “been designing and selling Gaited Saddles prior to our official foundation in 2006” and that its tree was “custom designed in Tennessee, in the heart of Tennessee Walking Horse country.”
