ShortGo Saddlery

Barrel & Bronc Saddles

ShortGo Saddles are made from the highest quality USA made materials available.  We start with a AAA quality tree that is designed for comfort of the horse and rider. These trees are traditional rawhide covered wood with fiberglass reinforcement added for strength.  Wickett and Craig or Hermann Oak leather is used, as these are the finest leathers available.

 

By using 2-3 sides of leather per saddle, we make sure no parts are cut from the lower quality areas of leather.  The majority of hardware is stainless steel.

 

Each saddle is handcrafted one at a time with attention to detail and fit of every part.  Nylon lining is used in high stress areas such as riggings and billets to eliminate stretch or wear.  All edges are hand rubbed and sealed.  

 

A special feature offered is leather faced biothane stirrup leathers.  If you want a stirrup leather that will last for years and years, has a thin profile, and the look of traditional leather, then this is the way to go.

 

Below are a few pictures of saddles that have been built for customers.  A brief description and price of each saddle is listed.  You are not limited by these options, only your imagination.  If you can dream it, I can build it.  Also, be sure and check out our SaddleRight pads. ShortGo saddles and this pad fit together like a hand and glove.

ShortGo Bronc Saddle
This is the saddle that started it all. Developed in 1993 and still setting the standard for today. The ShortGo Bronc Saddle has swells that sit up well and have a long surface area top to bottom. This allows the rider to move up and down the swell during your ride and not get the swells jerked away. The waist of the saddle is narrow, allowing more spur contact with the horse. This allows you to control your spur stroke and set your feet higher in the neck. The seat and cantle binding are shaped to not bite you or interfere with your spurring stroke. ShortGo Bronc Saddles are built for spurring broncs. If you want to take your bronc riding to the upper level this is the saddle for you.
