These saddles usually improve any rider's performance. With travel costs and entry fees as they are, it makes perfect sense ride with the best. You can pay for your saddle in relatively few trips to the arenas. 

To specialize in professional grades of saddlery, Reinsman has many of the upgrade options of other saddles incorporated into their design. Still, you can personalize your saddle to be all that you need it to be.  (Ain't it Great! We don't have to look like a bunch of robot ropers.) Cultured Cowboy appreciates the Reinsman products enough to make them affordably available to you. These roping saddles are best suited for the rider who is, or has the mindset, of a professional horseman. If you dream of becoming all you can be as a rider, you're in the right place.

Tooling is planned and carved for each position on your saddle, instead of looking like an afterthought. You can choose how much tooling is just enough for you. Rather than a die cut piece of leather with oversized leather conchos to cover the gaps, each piece of leather is hand fitted and properly molded for a tasteful and useful marriage between parts. Heavy oiling is available on each saddle. Below are the tooling patterns available for the ropers. 

Whether or not you have the experience of a professional, anybody can sit in one of these roping saddles and tell it was made to catch. The tree maker and the saddle maker have made it easier to catch by placing emphasis on your leg position. These ropers allow good close positioning with your horse. Built on tough Dale Martin designed trees, made so you can take care of business. A strong post horn is used for roping. The ground seat and rise is proper to aid you in your riding, rather than restricting you. 

Built for strength and endurance. Unlike saddles which are made for a couple years of showing and then to be traded, Your saddle is built with selected woods, placed in positions according to their flexing and their rigid properties. Then properly covered to hold in moisture and add life. The tree maker gives a 10 year warrantee, but this is even better than the type of tree that lasted over 20 years in your grandfather's saddles. Using the best leather on top of all that foundation will keep your seat in the saddle till it's time to give up riding.

Your roping saddle is available in any of these tooling arrangements, or areas. These areas can be tooled in any of the above tooling patterns. Understand that the Reinsman toolers have a lot of experience. They do great work. By using the same basic patterns, you get a hand tooling pattern that would cost hundreds more on a fully customized saddle. Here are the pics to explain tooling area, or amounts:

1/4 Tooled Saddle - 2	1/2 Tooled Saddle - 4
5/8 Tooled Saddle - 5	7/8 Tooled Saddle - 7
	Look at the detail in both the hand carvings of the leathers and in the engraving of the silver. 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.

Would you like to get a new saddle that feels like it is used? We will heavy oil any saddle for you. We prefer to use Lexol. Lexol will darken less than any other conditioner. It is PH-Balanced for the leather used in your saddle. We have been using Lexol on our personal saddles for over 30 years. Add $120.00 for about three liters of Lexol and some several hours of application. Lexol is best applied in many thin layers. To darken slightly, we will add extra virgin olive oil. To darken more, we will blend in some pure neatsfoot. The choice is yours! Your saddle will then come out of the box ready to ride in ultimate comfort!

Remember that a breast collar is a great addition to your saddle purchase. For a small investment, you can add an emergency measure that could prevent a saddle twisting under your horse, should a girth loosen without your knowledge. (Dale's horse is standing still, not working!) 

Tooling patterns protect the leather against abrasives. Tooling will "pack" the leather for durability and strength. Tooling can hide small "range" scars that are inherent to the leather before it is formed into a saddle part. Tooling adds depth and beauty to the leather. Tooling will help prevent corners from rolling. Tooling is just a little more effort to clean than a plain saddle. You can choose from several tooling patterns with each category of saddle. The more elaborate the tooling design, the more value, the more time involved in production, and the more your investment will grow over time.

Have you ever had the experience of getting a new saddle to find the stirrups won't take up enough to fit, or let out enough to fit? No more...We like to get your real inseam, (and other measurements, like we were making your chaps), then assure the saddle will fit when it arrives. Hey, by the time we get through spoiling you, you'll always want to buy your saddles and tack from us! 

Your saddle can be shipped to you in a padded saddle bag by Big D Blanket company. This protective saddle bag will help insure the proper finish of your investment for many years. 

We strive to keep some of the basics in stock. They can be to you in a week or less. But, there is nothing like having a saddle semi-custom made for your horse and your body. Allow about 2 to 4 weeks for a tree to be made, if necessary.  Then the saddler needs about 4 to 8 weeks to make your saddle. Leather is cut, wet, steamed, dried, fitted and pulled. It cannot be rolled off a bolt and processed like fabrics. This does take time to do right. Allow another 3 days to a week for UPS delivery. Overseas orders will usually go through UPS, or Airborne express, (depending on your best rate or most security). Any more time is because the saddler is catching up on previous saddles, or waiting on parts, or needs to take one night off for his wedding anniversary. 

Saddle makers are as excited about making your saddles as you are about riding! They would rather get it right, than rush it. We have chosen our saddle making partners because of their consistency in quality of product. Cultured Cowboy knows that most of our customers will be riding for many years to come. A short wait for a really good saddle is worth your "wait" in gold!

With the experience of thousands of saddles made for thousands of horse people, Cultured Cowboy looks forward to helping you with your needs. Tired legs, hurting knees, lower back pains, need grip, need freedom, need speed, need to impress your friends, need to impress your equine, need help, need a hug? Give us a call.

God Bless,
Cultured Cowboy
