What are your favorite saddle brands?

BQ: What are your other favorite tack brands?

Saddles for me I would say Bob's Custom Saddles, Wade Ranch Saddles, Jim Taylor Saddles.....other favorite brands are Greg Darnall Bits and Spurs, Tom Balding Bits and Spurs, Pro's Choice/Classic Equine, Garcia Bits and spurs, Classic and Cactus Ropes....the list could go on and on...

Answer 1

My favorite saddle brand is Bona Allen. I have a saddle that I am about 97% sure is a Bona Allen from about the 40's. However, all of the Bona Allen rivets have been replaced before I got it and the identifying tag has long since been removed. I think it is the comfiest and most well built saddle that I have. It is almost identical to this saddle:

Other than that, I am not too picky. I have a pretty good eye for quality leather. As long as the tack fits my horse properly and is of quality, I don't really care.
