Leather Quality

  • We use the best Indian leather (water buffalo harness), which is drum dyed. Tanning, processing, including dyeing, is done inside drums to give the leather a uniform texture. It also binds the fibers more closely making them stand up to give the leather more luster and body.
  • Bridles & tack accessories are made from natural vegetable harness leather tanned traditionally.
  • All cutting and tooling is done by hand. Edges are rounded off to give each item a smooth finish and they are smoothened with binders. The edges are then lacquered to give them extra shine and an extra smooth feel.
  • KOBAN thread, an industry standard in over 20 countries, is used for stitching all tack and accessories. All major stitching is done by hand except in some places such as the outside of the saddle where customers prefer uniform stitching.
  • Stainless steel or solid brass hardware is used for all bridle work and tack accessories.
  • The padding used is made from top grain soft leather under which soft rubber is inserted for extra comfort.

Saddle Quality

  • Best quality leather is used.
  • English saddles are made on wooden trees reinforced with heavy iron/steel plates for strength.
  • Western saddles are made on fibre glass trees.
  • The stirrup bars are made of steel.
  • The saddle seat is made using rubber and cushion for comfortable riding and is covered with top grain softy leather. Front knee pads use the same leather covering with special neoprene for extra comfort for the knee. Knee rolls on the inside panel give support while riding. Top grain leather soft panels under the saddles are filled with wool to help cushion the horse.
  • Strong girth straps, three on each side, are stitched by strong waxed thread for strength.
  • All stitching is by hand using special threads for strength. The lower flaps are attached to the top seat from the front and back with special hand tools using strong heavy ply waxed threads.
