Quality new and used Western & English saddles and bridles
From the company's website:Headquartered in Ontario, Canada, Schleese Saddlery is owned and operated by Certified Master Saddler Jochen Schleese and his wife Sabine, along with their partner Earl Rothery.
Schleese saddles are manufactured to the highest quality standards. The company was the first English saddle manufacturer to export product back to Europe, and enjoys the endorsement of many top international riders and trainers.
Jochen Schleese trained with Passier & Son in Germany, and in 1984, he was certified as the youngest Master Saddler ever in Europe. In 1986, he was asked to be the Official Saddler for the World Dressage Championships held just north of Toronto, Canada. A progressive developer of innovative products, Schleese received an international patent in 1996 for the AdapTree® saddle tree design which allows the saddle to be adjusted to fit as the horse grows and develops.

Saddles and Bridles Blog
Horseback riding and showing is a dream that many of us have from when we were little. There is something about these magnificent animals that grabs the heart and mind and never lets go. This site is about horses, riding, enjoying, showing, and buying equipment for. A little of everything for the horse lover in all of us, whether we're currently owned by an equine or not. One goal of this blog is to point you toward good selections of new and used English and Western tack : horse and pony saddles, bridles and cavessons. Equipment is expensive, especially the good stuff. Most of the top of the line saddlery is beyond the budget of most of us, but our four-legged friends deserve the best we can get. That means checking out the used saddle market for top quality horse tack by Hennig, Stubben, Passoa, Crosby, Reinsman, Circle Y, etc., and of course many custom made pieces by well known saddle artisans. It's better to buy a first-rate used saddle than a badly made, poor-quality new one. Your horse will thank you!
