Big horn saddles are known for a good quality and reliability. Big horn saddles are only western saddles. Big horn usually produces saddles made of materials such as Cordura or synthetic. Synthetic saddles are made from a tough Cordura nylon. Big horn selects four trees to build saddles on such as bullhide wrapped wood, fiberglass wrapped wood, Equi-fit and Ralide. Leather has always been one of the most popular materials used but because of the hassle of maintaining it, it requires washing and oiling often, synthetic saddles are becoming more popular. Big Horn quality is extended in the stainless steel hardware and leather reinforced nylon stirrup straps with Belvins buckles that all of their synthetic saddles come equipped with.
