"We recently purchased our first Elite Custom Saddle and I guarantee that it will not be out last!! Elite Custom Saddles not only delivered a top quality show saddle, but their customer service was unparalleled. The craftsmanship, fit, comfort, and quality of leather and silver are all superior. My niece Caitie says that her new saddle is the most comfortable saddle she has ever ridden in. Our saddle purchase exceeded our expectations, and I would not hesitate to recommend an Elite Custom Saddle to anyone looking for a top of the line saddle."

It is with great pleasure that I give my most sincere and wholehearted endorsement to Elite Custom Saddles and the master craftsmen of the Blanco family. In 1994, while searching for a western work saddle, Denny Sergeant convinced me to buy a custom work saddle from his brand new Silver Mesa line, expertly crafted by Ray Blanco. He promised me it would be the best saddle I had ever ridden, and he was exactly right! I have never ridden a saddle that fits me so perfectly and puts me in such great contact and balance with my horse. It is the most expertly crafted and, without a doubt, the most comfortable saddle I have ever ridden.
After falling in love with my work saddle, I decided to purchase a show saddle just like it so that I could have the same easy ride every time I entered the show pen. The result was one of the most stunning show saddles I have ever seen. From the sleek design, to the beautiful tooling and the intricate silver work – it is first class all the way. Best of all, from the very first ride, the saddle fit like a glove – no break-in period, just straight to the show pen. I can honestly say that my show saddle rides so well, I never have to worry about it getting in my way like other show saddles I have owned. It helps me to get my very best ride each time I show.
I feel so fortunate to have found these saddles, and wish that everyone could try one to see just how incredible they are. I can't speak highly enough of Elite Custom Saddles and the people who make them, and know I will never ride in anything else!
