For carving and tooling, we highly recommend ordering Chestnut color as this particular dye reaches a saturation point within the fibers to coincide with the depth of the carving. A rich color emanates in the deep carving because of the penetration of the dye and it is unmatched in beauty!
Other colors are also highly suitable for carving and tooling.
The occasional blemish found in a natural smooth leather saddle indicates that it is a natural, full top-grain hide. Some blemishes, usually very slight, are to be expected.
When you receive your saddle it will be oiled and ready to go. Only natural oils are used as not to damage the integrity of your saddle leather. A continuance of this nature will ensure the life of your saddle for many years to come!
Timberline Saddle Company uses only top-quality vegetable tanned top-grain cowhide on its saddles. These leathers have not been skived and buffed to look perfect, but are Grade A hides with the full top-grain intact to ensure strength, integrity and long life. They purchase their hides natural and undyed. The "natural" leather is then oiled to a light golden color which darkens with time in the sun. They dye their own leather using mineral based dyes which attain a saturation point deep in the leather fibers.
 

All Western Models are made standard with top grade, bark-tanned sheepskin. Timberlines Endurance and English models are lined with a fiber-incorporated material that is water resistant, allows for air circulation, is light weight, cushion able and wears like iron!

The spring skirt flexes as the shoulder rotates eliminating wear at the front of your saddle skirts, not to mention alleviating the irritation to your horse's shoulder and withers. These types of skirts enable the horse to move more freely.

You may add sheepskin to the bottom of your Endurance or English skirts.
 

They offer a traditional fender, along with fenders that won't hurt your ankles. they've also come up with a small fender for the distance models that eliminate pinching. For those who love the 2" leather straps, those are available too!

Construction is surpassed by none. Their fenders and leathers are made of top-grain cowhide, reinforced nylon webbing and are lined with boot leather. This will keep the sweat from going through your fender and protects the fender. The nylon gives it strength without stretching. Timberlines fenders and leathers are built to last! All our fenders and leathers are made of reinforced cowhide.
