We focus on crafting comfortable, lightweight trail saddles which stand up to years of use in the toughest conditions. Our professionally designed Western saddles are hand crafted to provide a lifetime of riding pleasure with optimum comfort. Being comfortable while knowing your horse is comfortable makes your trail riding experience so much more enjoyable.
Custom Western Saddle Fittings
A custom saddle represents a considerable investment and we at AMS understand this very important decision.
Achieving the proper fit between saddle, horse and rider is essential for overall trail riding comfort. Because of our focus on quality and riding comfort, we primarily use saddle trees created by Steele Saddle Tree, LLC in all our custom-made saddles. Steele has been building saddle trees for over 150 years and is the recognized leader and authority in this industry. Their saddle trees provide AMS with numerous fitting options and the flexibility to create an unlimited range of styles and fits that conform to the size and shape of your horse as well as your riding discipline.
Every saddle is individually hand crafted right here in the USA. Top quality leather is hand-picked from Wicket & Craig™ and our hardware is of only the highest quality brass and stainless steel. Our experienced saddlers integrate quality workmanship throughout the process from selection of leather and hardware to cutting and sewing to assembling your finished saddle.
Each of our custom saddles is designed around you and your horse. AMS’s saddle fitting kits simplify this process as much as possible fitting even the hardest-to-fit horses to create a tree that properly fits your horse. Allegany Mountain Saddlery has one of the most in-depth saddle fitting procedures available for remote fitting. We will personally work with you during each step in the construction process to ensure the best possible fit for your horse resulting in a saddle you will enjoy!
And, for your peace of mind, we offer a 100 percent satisfaction money back guarantee!

Custom Order Now Saddle Fitting Saddle Options - TackAll seats are built custom! You will be asked about what “rise” you prefer, and what width “twist.” No worries, we’ll chat about it and figure out what is best for you!
We will process your order as quickly as possible, without compromising our high standards of quality workmanship. Build times can fluctuate greatly throughout the year, so be sure to ask at the time of your build. Build times vary with the seasons and how busy we are. On the off chance we have a saddle tree in stock to meet your needs, that reduces build time by five to six weeks. We do our best to have you riding in your custom fit saddle in as little time as possible. Importantly, large amounts of carving or additional custom tack can increase the time it takes. Always be sure to ask for an estimated build time if it is a concern.
To order the saddle fitting kit, you can click the "saddle fitting" tab at the top of the home page, or any green button that says, "order saddle fitting". Customers outside the USA must contact us directly. Once your "fit to be seen" forms arrive, we will work closely with you to ensure the perfect fit for you and your horse. The custom saddle kit is based on our many years of experience customizing western trail riding saddles for even the hardest-to-fit horses, is easy-to-use, and comes complete with instructions and return shipping label.
We believe the heart and soul we put into this business is apparent in the product itself, and the way we treat our customers! The ability to customize each and every saddle to each individual horse and rider also sets us apart from other builders. From the lengthening or shortening of the fenders, customizing the twist or rise of the seat to custom color combinations, we go the extra mile to build a saddle customized just for you and your riding pleasure! Want a little more “stick” in the saddle? Adding a suede seat or roughout jockeys can help with that! Want lightweight? We can do that too! The diligence we put into ensuring you have the best fit for your horse is second to none. Each saddle is truly one of a kind, made just for you. These aren’t saddles stapled together on a production line in parts unknown. They are meticulously hand-built by Amish craftsman, right here in Western NY. We pride ourselves in offering a custom western saddle at a price that won’t break the bank.
Offering different models such as wade saddles, endurance saddles, western dressage and western trail saddles ensures you will have a saddle perfect for you!
Yes! We offer assorted tack items such as western headstalls, split reins, Mecate reins, halter bridle combos, rear cinches and breastcollars. These items can be ordered separately or built along with your saddle to match perfectly the color, tooling and hardware.
