Saddle Trees

My Trees

In comparison to others, my trees allow closer contact between horse and rider, are much lighter and withstand stress and fatigue over a longer period of time.

My trees are constructed using state of the art materials & today’s technology. More...

 Which Style of Tree is the Best For Me? 

 

Leather

I take the same care in choosing the leather as I do in crafting each saddle.
Every Cooper's Custom Saddle is built using the finest skirting and bridle leather sides available in the world.

World Class Suppliers
Wickett & Craig is known the world over for producing the finest saddlery leathers available. This American based company is well established and have been consistently producing high quality leathers for more than 100 years.

These are the leathers that I choose for use in building my custom saddles.

Choosing the Best
The leather is carefully graded after each stage of the tanning process, and again upon completion. They are then shipped to my suppliers here in Australia. More...

Hardware
The hardware and fittings used for fastening and adjustment on every saddle are constructed of either stainless steel or solid, polished brass.  Every piece is closely inspected before use to ensure that it meets my quality requirements. Therefore in a Cooper's Custom Saddle, strength and aesthetics are consistently A1.

Of course, either metal is excellent for strength, durability and appearance, although, stainless steel is harder wearing and will not tarnish or corrode.
