A good roping saddle is an essential part of any cowboy’s tools of the trade. But not just any saddle will do. Roping saddles have to be made from the finest materials available, and be rugged enough to take punishment day after day.
There are some saddle makers that stand out from the crowd. Their saddles have stood the test of time and are a cut above the crowd.
Edward “Skeeeter” Hembry
This Virginia saddle maker started making saddles in the mid 1960′s. He opened his first shop in Fairfax, Virginia in 1970. In 1978 he moved his operation to Warrenton, Virginia and is still in operation there. Hembry designs, hand tools and stitches his famous saddles and other leather gear. Known for high quality and superb craftmanship, Hembry’s saddles have been featured in movies and shows around the world.
Billy Cook
The name Billy Cook is legendary in the roping saddle world. Cook first started making his world famous saddles in Greenville, Texas. For years the Texas saddle maker produced some of the finest roping saddles in the world. Cook designed and tooled his own saddles and each saddle was hand sewn. The famous “Billy Cook Maker” stamp is known worldwide. In 1992 Billy Cook opened shop in Sulphur, Oklahoma where he still makes his famous saddles.
Don King
Don King was born in Wyoming in 1923. He began learning the saddle maker’s trade at age 14. By the time he was 15 he was selling small hand crafted leather goods he had made. In the 1940′s King became an apprentice to expert saddle maker Rudy Mudra. In 1957 King became a full time saddle maker. Although King became more well known for his superbly crafted trophy saddles than roping saddles, he is well known for his distinctive tooling designs.
His best known saddle design is known as the “Sheridan style”.This saddle in it’s original design is a classic high plains roping saddle. This saddle features short, square skirts; a low cantle with a broad Cheyenne roll; large swells and a prominent horn; small side jockeys; and relatively narrow fenders that are at a 90 degree angle to the skirt.
King also had several well known apprentices that learned the trade under him including
Billy Gardner, Chester Hape, and Bob Douglas.
These are only a few of the more prominent roping saddle makers who have influenced today’s roping saddle designs. Dedication, commitment to quality, and innovation has made these names legendary.

Leather working/crafting?
For the past month or so I’ve though about making my own tack for my horse, like halters and breast plates, simple things. Does anyone know places you can buy leather to craft with? And possibly patterns and tips on making this stuff?
