Weeping Heart Custom Saddles

After five years teaching Ag at one of the last public boarding highschools in America, I decided to pursue the "cowboy arts."  Following an immersion course on buckarooing at the ZX, my wife's promotion led us back to Harney County.  After a time working on a large ranch outside Seneca, more life changes came down the pike.  My wife's observation that my "butt was too big for my saddle" presented the need for a new wood; the impending arrival of our first born son made ordering a saddle from a top maker financially irresponsible.  My first saddle was built out of necessity, but it became apparent that building saddles would nicely compliment raising a family and the lifestyle we desired.  Chasing kids, continually trying to improve the tack I build, and "product testing" while dayworking for some of the coolest old places in this neck of the Great Basin has proven a great way to live.
We've come a long way from the first crude saddle that was built based on tearing others apart and common sense.  After a few years of learning the hard way I had the opportunity to spend a few days with TCAA saddlemaker Conley Walker.  His tutelage immediately made my saddles tighter, more finely built, and more visually appealing.  I continually strive to improve my saddles so that the design works for horses and the people who sit on them all day long.  Thanks for checking us out.
