"After much research on custom saddle makers, I decided to go to Tioga, Texas and talk to Ray Blanco and his father, Ray, Sr. at Elite Saddles. I took my good friend who has been showing horses for many years and our trainer to help me with my decision. We spent a couple of hours visiting with these men and were convinced that they are honest, sincere and very talented. The service at Elite was absolutely wonderful. They kept me informed throughout the process of making my saddle. The quality of their work is excellent. Ray Jr. and Ray Sr. are both such a pleasure to work with and did everything we agreed upon. The comfort of my saddle is just unbelievable and the design is really unique. I am very pleased….it is truly first class..."

"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."
