Timberline leather options include your choice of Chestnut, Natural, Oxblood, Brown, Rust & Black in suede or smooth
calfskin. The colors at the right are approximations of what the actual leather color
will look like. To have a more accurate leather color decision, please request a swatch of leather samples that you
can touch and look at.
Timberline Saddle Company uses only top-quality vegetable tanned top-grain
cowhide on its saddles. These leathers have not been skivved and buffed to look perfect, but are Grade A hides with the full
top-grain intact to ensure strength, integrity and long life. We purchase our hides natural and undyed. Our "natural"
leather is then oiled to a light golden color which darkens with time in the sun. We dye our own leather using mineral based
dyes which attain a saturation point deep in the leather fibers.
For carving and tooling, we highly recommend
ordering our 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!
Our 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. We only use natural oils as not to damage
the integrity of your saddle leather. Continued leather care will ensure the life of your saddle for many years to come!

FENDERS & LEATHERS (the stuff that attaches from your saddle to your stirrup!)
As with everything Timberline Saddle Company offers, fenders and leathers have their options as well! We have heard the
concerns of many different people over the years and have adapted options to handle these issues.
We offer a traditional fender, along with fenders that won't hurt your ankles. We'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. Our 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. Our fenders and leathers are built to last! All our fenders and leathers are made of reinforced
cowhide.
STIRRUP OPTIONS
Pick from:
Leather Covered Bells
Leather Covered Ropers
Leather Covered EZ Rides
Nylon Core EZ Rides, with or without cages
Leather Covered Overshoe Stirrups
Glue in Footpads
We also offer Tapadoros.
Our "leather covered" stirrups are very unique and quite time-consuming to make. Built on a light weight nylon
core, these stirrups are covered with leather to match your saddle, wet molded, clamped, expertly sewn, with all the edges
sanded, waxed and burnished. These are beautiful!
Timberline stirrups are comfortable with a base of 1/2" thick neoprene foam topped with a non-skid surface that absorbs
more concussion and prevents more foot pain than you can imagine.
All stirrups are available in Natural, Rust, Chestnut, Brown, Rust, Oxblood and Black. Pick White, Black or Brown thread
color. Your stirrups can be tooled to match your saddle.
