Ballard Saddles - Southern CA

Ponderosa Starr · 03-28-2007, 06:02 PM

Anyone have any experience with a saddle made by the Ballard saddle company of Bloomington CA? I had never heard of them before, but did see one and am giving it some consideration..

If anyone has ever had one or know of the quality, please let me know..

I used to live not too far from Ballards when all they made was bareback pads, breast collars and things like that out of nylon and fleece. I used to go down to his shop on a regular basis. Everything at that time was done in a big shop at his home. I was out in Calif. a few months ago and see that now he has 2 big stores. I did not know that they made their own saddles now, but he would probally do a good job as he liked quality stuff.

I forgot to say, that I am still riding one of the bareback pads that came from his place and it has to be close to 20 years old and is still in great shape.
