I do not sell saddles to the general public and this web site is not here for that purpose but to provide some information; about the history of this company, WHICH HAS BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR OVER 70 YEARS. IF you have purchased a; saddle made by Three Bars / Texas Saddlery you got a warranty card from the place where you purchased the saddle,; which INCLUDED a mailing address and a phone number and what to do if you have a problem with my saddle.

History of Three Bars Saddlery

New Ownership
In November of 2008 the owner of Three Bars and Texas Saddlery died and the heirs put the company up for sale.
I purchased the Company in 2009 and moved the Heaadquarters to El Paso, Texas and have resumed making Three Bars Saddles.

With over 70 years in the Saddle and Tack industry Three Bars Saddlery provided Quality Riding Equipment at an

affordable price with you, the horse rider in mind. They started making custom hand made saddles in 1936 as a hobby

and a way to make some extra money. As time went on, the hobby turned into a saddle making business with over 100

saddle makers working for him making 114 different styles of saddles. Over the years he found that many people could not

afford custom hand made saddles and were looking for a saddle that they could use everyday at an affordable price.

So Three Bar Saddlery was born. He prided himself on the saddles he manufactured and the affordable prices he strived to

maintain. With the flood of imported saddles and a slow down in retailers, dealers and stores he cut back on production

and manufactured saddles on a limited basis from 2001 but would custom make any of the saddle styles he had made

previously. As the economy weakened and imported saddles increased he found he had to cut back on keeping as large

an inventory as he used to. He still made saddles daily, based on what he thought he could sell to his many stores and dealers

but limited them to the most popular styles. In January of 2007 he purchased the name of Texas Saddlery when they closed their

operations in Bastrop. Texas, and as he had been making saddles for them for years and putting their name brand on them he also

began selling saddles under the Texas Saddlery name as well as still to making Three Bars Saddlery saddles.

You can find our new saddles in many stores throughout the United States and our used saddles

on the web on Craig's List, E-Bay and other sites selling used tack and saddles.

Since purchasing the company I have renamed it Three Bars / Texas Saddlery.

I have some of the saddle makers that worked for the family and can assure

you that the same quality and detail to perfection is being put into each saddle.

We are presently only making about 40 styles of saddles but anticipate making

a few of each saddle that was made by Three Bars over the years.
