Our Process
Ease your saddle search with our expert guidance. With 20 years of experience, we specialize in determining the perfect saddle fit for your horse and customizing it to meet your riding needs. Provide us with detailed information about you and your horse, and let us find the ideal model from our extensive range of models.
How We Work
Step 01
Submit Saddle Inquiry
We are thrilled to have you explore the endless possibilities with us. To start your bespoke saddlery journey, please share your contact details through our secure form. Once submitted, one of our dedicated team members will be in touch within 24-48 hours to discuss your needs and how we can assist you further. Thank you for choosing Borné Saddlery, and we look forward to crafting the perfect riding experience together.
Step 02
Submit Photos
To ensure the best fit for your saddle, please submit two types of conformation photos of your horse. First, take a photo with your horse standing square, capturing a clear side view. Then, provide a second photo with your horse's back lifted to illustrate the changes in musculature and spine alignment that occur during movement. These images are crucial as they help us understand the dynamic changes your horse undergoes and allow us to craft a saddle that provides maximum comfort and support. Make sure both photos are taken in good lighting to enhance detail and clarity. *The blue tape in the photos show the saddle area and are not necessary at this stage. Photos should be emailed to: karen@bornesaddlery.com, or
text 713-504-6812. We accept jpg files not to exceed 10-15 MB.
Step 03
Wither Tracing Photo
If you have had your horse's back traced by a saddle fitter within the last 2-3 months, please provide a photo of this tracing. A recent tracing is invaluable as it offers a precise snapshot of your horse's back profile, assisting us in tailoring a saddle that fits impeccably. Ensure that the photo is clear and well-lit to capture all the details of the tracing accurately. This step is crucial for us to better understand the specific contours of your horse’s back, ensuring a perfect saddle fit. If you do not have a tracing or access to a saddle fitter, please contact us for further instructions:
