Members Newfman Posted January 30, 2010 Members Report Posted January 30, 2010 Curious if anyone knows about Jeremy Stead saddles. http://ranchsaddle.com/index.php?cPath=7 I am curious as to how one can build a wade on a wood and rawhide tree and sell new in the $1500 price range. The stirrup leathers in the photos all seem too far back, am i wrong, is it just the photo? I need a good saddle (wade) to get me by for awhile until I can get mine custom built. Wanted to stay around $1500 for a good used one. Then the Wife found this and it made me wonder. Any honest opinions? You can PM if you want. Thanks for the help. Quote With enough leather and rope, you could probably make your horse cut a deck of cards. . .but you'll never make him deal 'em with a smile on his face!

He might be a saddle maker But"I'll bet you $50 he dosent make THOSE saddles. Ebay is full of stuff like that, No twist on the stirrup leathers, the rigging is wrong..... the leather is stiff. I'd be very careful. Did you email him and ask if he makes them or does he buy and resell them? Quote cowgirlrae & Glen Moulton

Members Newfman Posted February 17, 2010 Author Members Report Posted February 17, 2010 No offense intended Jeremy, and welcome to the forum. I was just looking for an unbiased opinion, and wondered how a new hand made saddle could sell for $1500 when the cost of materials seems to run almost that much. Since i am still in the early stages of learning saddle making, I question just about everything, much to the other members chagrin. I have looked on eBay, and have actually found good saddles, and no doubt, there is a lot of questionable ones as well. I wasn't comparing your saddle to anything, just asking about them specifically.

I have even phoned him after hours, and he's always been helpful. Rick Quote

Members Bondurant Posted May 22, 2010 Members Report Posted May 22, 2010 Are they making trees or reselling Hadlock and Fox or similar brands? Quote
