Anyone know any websites for custommade english saddles in states somewhat close?

Here is a custom saddler in Holland MI. I know they are only western, but I bet if you called them they could reccomend someone.

They probably know all kinds of people...

What issues are you having? IME it's VERY rare to need a completely custom made saddle.

Synergist saddles seem very nice.

My trainer has a custom Luc Childerec. But they are expensive. Her's was about 6,000. It is a VERY nice saddle though. Antares makes nice customs too.

Tad Coffin saddle are totally custom for the rider, though not the tree (for the horse). He only has one size tree, then uses leather covered pads to fit the horse.

Most any big saddle company will work with you on customized options, like shorter or longer flaps, more forward flaps, different leathers, etc. A friend ordered a semi-custom Courbette and it came out just perfect! You can send in wither tracings to most saddle companies, along with photos of your horse, and they can determine the best tree and saddle type to fit your horse's conformation and your riding style.

A totally custom cc saddle maker in the USA is Stackhouse. There website doesn't seem to be working for me. I believe their saddles run around $4,500+.

Lu Childrec, Antares and other brands mentioned are not made in the USA. Are you wanting a saddle that is made in the USA or just a custom jump saddle or?
