At Schleese Saddlery we recognize the unique physiology of female riders focusing on our mission as the female saddle specialist.
Having proven the benefits of proper female fitting in the English riding markets, we are pleased to introduce the same, successful philosophy to the Western riding market with the introduction of our Legacy Saddle.
As stated by our founder, Jochen Schleese, “In a world that has historically had a ‘one size fits all’ mentality, our hand constructed well appointed, superior quality western saddle is the only brand that ensures maximum comfort and performance custom made for female riders – achieving the perfect partnership between horse and rider for the ultimate riding experience”.
We accomplish this through unparalleled craftsmanship, world-class experience, and superior fitting practices. Our infinitely adjustable saddles are designed for the female physiology, creating truly life-changing comfort and responsiveness.

Mark Swinney –
I bought a Schleese western saddle — a Legacy. I have had plenty of western saddles, including a custom fit one, but this Schleese is eons beyond any of them. It fits me so well! The benefit that I appreciate most about it is that it automatically puts my body in the right position. This means that I can really focus on learning and showing.
I wish my horse could write and tell you about his experience with our saddle. But his actions and amazing freedom tell the story. Because my Legacy fits us both so well, we are improving together faster than I ever dreamed. This definitely is a western saddle I would recommend to anyone.
