Valleee Report post Posted June 9, 2013 (edited) I bought this saddle several years ago from an old drunk saddle shop owner. he had attempted to restore it but clearly didn't possess the skills to do so. it fit my horse well so I bought it for cheap. it has since been on probably 50 or so different horses and fit most. I've put a lot of hours in it and I still love it. I can't find any info whatsoever about Kenway saddles online, so I was hoping that someone here may know something. we just fixed it up and I'm curious. it measures 15" seat, 26.5" skirt, 16" swell and 6" wide. any info at all would be appreciated!

Saddlebag Report post Posted June 17, 2013 Kenways also had a warehouse where saddles were made on I think 12 Ave SW in Calgary. I was in there several times and was given the grand tour. The foreman told me they bo't the rights to use the TexTan patterns so the ones bearing the Kenway name and TexTan logo were made in Calgary. The store was close to the Stampede grounds. I purchased a roping saddle there, a handsome saddle that was my pride and joy for years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
