Borné Saddlery

Borné Saddlery Borné Saddlery, LLC is in the business of manufacturing Custom English Saddles. We have been in business for over 25 years! Not so with Borné.

Borné Saddlery, LLC specializes in fitting *Bespoke English Saddles to accommodate both horse and rider, achieving peak performance for today's equestrian athlete. For over a decade Karen Borne, President of Borné Saddlery, LLC, along with Andy Sankey, Certified Master Saddler and established member of The Society of Master Saddler, UK, have teamed up to provide outstanding service and quality sad

dles to the United States market. As the equine sport becomes more refined, and breeding evolves producing an increasing variety of conformational shapes, Borné remains on the cutting edge of tree and panel design to meet today's need for a wider range of saddle choices. For this reason, Borné is unique in that the emphasis is on the tree as the foundation from which everything flows. Materials used in Borné saddles are of the highest quality. Birchwood spring trees are the foundation in every saddle from Dressage to Jumping. Panels are flocked with resilient wool sheared from Scottish Highland Sheep, and leathers are sourced from various tanneries in Europe. The real cornerstone of what makes Borné Saddlery successful, however, is stellar customer service. So often, saddles are sold to clients and the saddle company seems unresponsive to the customer's needs after the sale. Read through some of the client testimonials and you will see that Borné has an A+ rating on customer service. Why Choose Borné Saddlery? Borné is one of the few “bespoke” saddle companies in the USA

Bespoke saddles are those individually made to both client and horse. In today's market, bespoke has become synonymous with "semi-custom" in practice. These Semi-custom saddles offer substitutions such as leather choice, knee rolls size, and long or short flaps for example. Bespoke, on the other hand, is more tailored, the most important being tree selection. The tree dictates how well your horse will be able to move ultimately. Additional bespoke options are seats rasped into customized shape for the rider, custom knee roll shape, size, and placement, custom stitching designs in flaps, personal logos embossed in the leather - this is Borné Saddlery.

I have to admit, some our favorite saddle builds have been Brown or a combination of Brown/Black,
Brown/Australian Nut, or like this saddle in the photo of varying colors of Brown. Do you like Brown saddles as well?

Elevate Your Riding Experience with True Craftsmanship!

When it comes to custom saddles, prices should reflect the absolute pinnacle of craftsmanship. A “custom” saddle isn’t just something pulled from a van—it’s a carefully crafted, bespoke masterpiece. Let’s be clear: those saddles are merely “customized.”

A true custom saddle is a unique creation, designed specifically for both horse and rider, with no previously made pieces stitched together. It requires painstaking skill, years of experience, and a deep understanding of the art of saddle-making.

At our shop, we specialize in crafting truly bespoke saddles that honor this tradition. So why settle for less in the custom saddle market? Invest in a saddle that reflects your passion and dedication to riding.

I just had to share this ❤️

When we were young riders,
failure didn’t matter.
We bounced off ponies,
missed diagonals,
forgot tests,
and laughed it off like dust brushed from boots.

Falling wasn’t shame,
it was how we learned to sit taller.
Mistakes weren’t verdicts,
they were invitations.

But as we grew,
the arena became quieter,
the judges sterner,
the scores heavier.
Failure became something to fear,
as if a crooked halt could measure the size of our worth.

Yet dressage has always known better.
It knows that collection only exists
because you’ve practiced the moment it fell apart.
That harmony is born from a thousand quiet
conversations that didn’t go as planned.

Children know it.
Horses know it.
They don’t carry shame in the stumble.
They carry on.

Maybe the lesson isn’t to ride without mistakes.
Maybe it’s to ride the way we once did,
with joy that failure was never the enemy,
only the proof we’re still moving forward.

Because in dressage,
the only real failure
is never daring to ask the question of yourself
or your horse at all.

Offered for sale is our one-of-a-kind Black Widow Spider Saddle — a true showstopper originally created for the FEI World Cup in Las Vegas, where it turned heads and cameras alike. Handcrafted by Master Saddler Andy Sankey in collaboration with designer Karen Borne, this saddle represents the perfect fusion of artistry and craftsmanship.

Every inch of this piece tells a story: a genuine stingray seat and cantle, striking red patent leather casing rolls front and back, and ruby red crystals that shimmer under the lights. The flaps are stitched in an intricate spider web design, while a jeweled Black Widow spider holds a clear crystal that delicately dangles from the D-ring.

More than a saddle, this is an equestrian work of art — the kind of piece meant to be displayed on a beautiful stand, admired for its daring design and exquisite detail.

✨ One-of-a-kind showpiece
🕷 Handcrafted by Master Saddler Andy Sankey
💎 Features stingray leather, crystal and ruby accents
🎨 Designed in collaboration with Karen Borne

Perfect for collectors, luxury enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates fine craftsmanship with a bold twist.
