Exciting news! Bob was just commissioned to build a saddle for an up coming movie “Out Of The Wild”!  Story & script written by horsemanship clinician Mark Rashid!  Follow the making of the saddle on our Out West Saddlery Facebook page and all about the movie on Mark’s Considering the Horse, Mark Rashid Facebook page!  We have the book for sale....great story with a lot of great messages see Mark Rashid Books page.

CUSTOM SADDLES by Bob Beecher
We specialize in old time style saddles that fit today’s horses and are healthy for both rider and horse/mule.  All of our saddles and trees are handmade using the highest quality workmanship and materials available. All the stitching is recessed for quality and durability.   Our saddles are perfectly balanced for a comfortable ride for you and your horse, they are one of the few western saddles built today designed so you sit centered and as close to the horse as possible for the best communication between you an your horse.  The seat is not built up in the front.  See pictures of samples of custom saddles we have built.  Where possible we do custom fittings for you and your horse or herd or see our saddle fitting guide & saddle fitting information & philosophy pages.  We encourage a universal fitting saddle for the type of horses you like, not a saddle to a horse because horses change like us!  We believe proper fit and the way the saddle positions you is the most important elements in choosing a saddle.

No two saddles alike. The average weight is 32 lbs.!

Due to the fact that Bob is the only maker he is only able to make a limited number of saddles a year so we now have a stock saddle also available we try to keep on hand, this is proving difficult as the demand for them has been very high because of price and availability! 

Our base price for custom saddles is $3,400.00.

Dear Terri & Bob
  I have attached the link to see my Facebook photo album  of me and Sky with our new saddle. Oh MY God it is amazing to ride in. My balance point is now clearly known to me & my circles are round. I have always had so much trouble riding a nice circle.
  I can not even explain how perfect it is. Everyone notices how it sits so perfectly. I so can not wait to show it off at Ant's clinic in May.

Hi Guys
  I dropped my stirrups 1 hole and OMG I felt terrific. Great circles, Great attitude from my horse & I had a smile from ear to ear. I have not enjoyed  riding lately because I never felt comfortable & riding was like becoming hard to do. I can't even explain the difference in my riding.
  My poor horse, she was wondering if I was ever going to get off.
  I have to look on your website for a testimonial section. If you don't  have one you need to add it so I can leave comments on how wonderful my saddle  is and how much it improves my riding & my horses abilities to move more freely.
  Thank You, Thank You, Thank you. I was & still am so happy I could  cry.
Talk soon
Love always

Dear Bob & Terri,
For several years I rode saddles that hurt me and my horse after a long ride he was almost always sore and so was I.  The saddle I purchased from you has never made my horse sore and I can ride it comfortably for hours.
I never truly understood “balanced” riding until I purchased my new saddle that fits me.  When riding rough terrain in Colorado Mountains I am much more secure.
And as it that is not enough, it is great fun to sit on a piece of handmade western art.
Thank you,
