And we are off, 2026 slow start but the first Trails End Reining Saddle being picked up this afternoon.
WAIT TIME, $1500.00 non refundable deposit on any saddle western or fender gets you on the queue. If you are not on the queue I don’t even think about you, I concentrate on the committed orders on my list.

For some customers that are waiting sometimes some unforeseen expenses might come up so the gold posts can move and orders behind will come up the list.
All I ask is that customers are open and talk to me, between us we can work it out. Some customers choose to pay their saddles off while they are waiting no interest charged. If I fall under a bus and you don’t get a saddle my dear wife Sue will give you the amount owing to you before she puts me in a 📦
My current prices are and I hope to hold them for the year inc GST. Fender saddle plain saddle in natural Herman Oak leather only $5450.00 no matter what seat size or gullet size postage not included.

Western saddles regardless of seat size and gullet size with in skirt rigging, single skirt natural Herman Oak Leather only start at $6166.00 postage not included.
Western saddles double skirt in natural Herman Oak leather only start at $6666.00 postage not included.
Any tooling or carving is extra to these prices and I can spend your money 💰😎. All saddles are standard with inlaid seat, alloy stirrups and webbing other options can be discussed.
I have one space available for a customer prior to me heading south in April and after that late May/
June if the gold posts don’t move.
Times are dependent on the availability of materials, tree’s and me not going out on the JetSki.

Questions you don’t pay for fitting of horses you do, here to help as best I can.

🐎 IAN HUXLEY SADDLE FITTING CLINIC | AMAROO EQUINE 🐎

We’re excited to be hosting Ian Huxley at Amaroo Equine for a full-day Saddle Fitting Clinic on Saturday 2 May 2026. These clinics are highly regarded, with consistently positive feedback, and offer a valuable opportunity to deepen your understanding of correct saddle fit and horse comfort.

📅 Saturday 2 May 2026
⏰ 8:30am – approx. 4:00pm
📍 Amaroo Equine
🥪 Lunch & snacks included
🤠 Cost: $250 one horse or $360 for two horses
🙋‍♀️Fence sitters: $80

What to expect on the day
The clinic will begin with an informative group talk from Ian, covering saddle fitting principles and the impact of saddles and tack on horse comfort and performance. Ian will then move through individual horse fittings, with participants encouraged to learn not only from their own fitting, but from observing others throughout the day.

🔹 Please bring:
• Your current saddle
• The saddle pads you are currently using

Ian focuses specifically on saddles, saddle fit, and associated tack (including girths). Please note, English saddles are not covered.
