Look at the detail in both the hand carvings of the leathers and in the engraving of the Antique Deluxe Conchos. Each saddle is made by an artist with many saddles of experience under their belt. Their pride rides on the saddle made just for you. 

When you begin with the best quality leathers, and professional craftsmen, you can finish with a look that can compete in your arena. 
Take proper conditioning care of this saddle & it will be passed down to your future generations!

Cultured Cowboy loves a combination of Lexol "lanolin (sheep fats)" with top coats of premium Extra Virgin Olive oil. We've maintained our personal saddles & tack for over 40 years using this combo.  

The secret of longevity is Using the best materials to start, & in the cleaning & conditioning!

Notice the fine tooling detail. The quality of the Garoutte Saddles lives onward, though Dean has now retired. Rico has been his saddler for many years & almost all the staff including office, have stayed on with the company. Beautiful conchos.  

What is the real bottom skirt lacing about? More than looks. It actually is designed to move with the horse as needed for better performance. 
The top housing is sewn, but a more freedom inviting properly hand-laced bottom skirt is highly preferred for more ease & less restriction over the kidney area, of intricate movement. 

For this model, we chose real sheepskin. Only the best fleece hides using the thickest , most even parts of that hide are used in the construction of your saddle.  Often takes two sheepskin hides, one for each side.  (No thin spots)    (Why the richness of the fleece used?  More protection for your horse, less physical pain for the rider over long rides, and more slip resistance too.) 

And take note of a strong stainless double ring system with rear flank.

Should you need a hand holding on to "excited colts", On this quality of saddle, the pocket behind the pommel, made into the seat front is the place to hold onto:
1) The fingers are much stronger than your thumb, so holding onto the horn in bucking will at the least, strain your thumb, if you don't get thrown over the horse's head. It's purposely wide enough to dive 4 fingers in for hold.
2) This seat combined with the jockey to jockey leather underneath construction is strong enough to hold your body weight.
3) Grabbing here gives you a lower center of balance - thus making it easier to hang in there with control over your positioning.
4) When you're not all over the place, you can better regain control over that scared, or trying steed!

The reining saddle gullet allows freedom for the horse, yet still maintains that "hold" you need for those athletic movements. 

Available with specially designed nylon girth tie straps, or latigo leather. 

This close up pic shows a small portion of the care to detail a professional rider needs.  Notice this concho is dropped below the connection of jockey & cantle. It IS NOT so high that ya gotta wear a tough spot on your body to accommodate a sloppy connection covered by the leather seat concho!  Your saddle parts are hand trimmed to fit properly.

These saddlers do not use the same die to clicker cut every seat size from 14 to 17.  You will feel the difference. Your horse will be more responsive to slighter cues.

Here's the underside, showing the rigging. The ring position positions the rider well. And skirt as well as ring plates allow a good contact with your ride. 

Why this wear plate? Look at the design. Still closer contact, yet made to offset the wear from swinging positions of your body as your horse makes sliding stops & other intense movements. 

This CC-420281 saddle by Garoutte makers
is available through detailed discussions with our experienced designer & former professional rider, Chuck Taylor, at Cultured Cowboy. 

Only $3789.99 AS YOU SEE IT. 

Look at the underside of the fenders. NO weak places, No inconsistency. And the stirrup straps are only Back leather - the strongest part of a cow.  Very adjustable. Very little stretch.  

See the underside of the laced front ring reinforcement. Because the guys making your saddle have so much experience with the performance requirement of reining sport,  ( realistically, trail riding terrain more than flatland, also demands this best, for your & your horse's best comfort & riding ability), the connections & placements are precise.
