About Ballard's Saddles & Tack

In 38 years, our philosophy still stands strong — and it still guides us today.

Our Story

Manufacturers Since 1972

Since 1972, Ballard's Saddles and Tack has been designing and producing original, durable, handcrafted, long-lasting saddles and tack. Our saddles are designed for the professional horse rider — someone who rides every day and needs a rugged, durable saddle.

All of our saddles are handmade, hand-tooled, with a lifetime guaranteed wooden rawhide-wrapped tree. A Ballard's saddle is ideal for flat-back horses, draft horses, quarter horses, walking horses and mules.

Tom Ballard is serious about his product and is proud of his saddles and how long they last.

Offering the Best Quality for the Best Price

We offer the best quality merchandise for the best possible price, along with knowledgeable customer service and support.

We Are the Manufacturer

Why are our prices so low? We ARE the manufacturer — it's that simple.

More Than Just Saddles

Horse related or not, we take on custom manufacturing orders for customers that have nothing to do with horses. We have manufactured deep-sea diving harnesses for the Army and the Navy, pizza carry cases for New York Pizza, and equipment and parts for the movie studios.

So keep us in mind for the rare, hard-to-find item — and believe that the sky is the limit.

Our Guarantee

Every Ballard's handcrafted saddle comes with a 100% lifetime guarantee on the tree. We stand behind our work because we build it ourselves.
