DS Saddlery/ Embrace Saddle Fit

We are a small, hands-on saddlery specializing in custom and unique leather goods. Every piece is made with the same care and quality standards we apply to our working saddles and tack. Our upcycled creations — like this cowboy boot bag — reflect our commitment to creativity, sustainability, and breathing new life into quality materials. When you buy from DS Saddlery, you’re supporting American craftsmanship and getting a bag built to last.

Got to deliver this cute little saddle today! 🐴💙✨

We made this saddle right here in Jacksonville, AL, and I love how it turned out!

Look at this sweet, compact beauty—perfect for a young rider or a smaller horse who loves to run the pattern! The rich chestnut leather has that gorgeous warm tone with delicate light blue buckstitching accents that really pop. I love her choice of white string!

Handcrafted with care in Jacksonville, Alabama, and delivered with love. If you’re local (or not!) and interested in something similar (or know a little rider who needs their first “big girl” saddle), shoot me a message—I love helping match horses and riders with the right tack. 😊
Who else has a soft spot for pint-sized barrel rigs? Drop a ❤️ or tag a friend who might be looking!”

We know it’s been a little quiet on here lately, and we wanted to pop in and say thank you for sticking with us!
The shop has been absolutely slammed in the best way possible — we’ve been buried in saddle repairs, building several new custom saddles, and keeping up with all the leatherwork orders coming in. When the horses are working hard, so are we! 🐴🛠️
We’re still here, still crafting, and still loving every minute of it. New posts, progress pics, and finished saddles will be coming back very soon as things settle down a bit.
Thanks again for all the messages, orders, and patience — it means the world to our small shop.

Handmade • One of a kind • Full of history

Sneak peek 👀
New saddle purses in the works… and we’re obsessed already 🤎🐎

Some saddles come in with a lot of miles behind them — dry, cracked, tired, and in need of real attention.
This old saddle had seen its share of work and weather, but it still had good bones and a lot of life left.

What we tackled: What we tackled:
• Deep leather cleaning and conditioning
• Structural repairs and reinforcement
• Installed a new seat
• Replaced stirrup leathers
• Installed new rigging
• Added new fleece
• Completed a horn wrap
• Refreshed leather with a rich, even finish
• Brought it back to ride-ready condition

From worn and weathered ➡️ to solid, functional, and ready for many more miles.
This is why we love restoration work — honoring the history while giving it a future.
