What is a country saddler? The country saddler has origins in England's countryside where he was guilded after a long apprenticeship and known for his ability to fix, design or make anything the area's horsemen needed. Craftsmanship and expertise were sought out by the horseman as their tack had to endure. Our name is not a coincidence.
Wayne J Rasmussen Wayne is an accomplished craftsman and well respected among his peers and within the industry. With over 35 years at the bench his resume includes extensive custom saddle and bridle work for many of the top international and national riders in every ring. His abilities lie in every English discipline but he specializes in the Hunter Jumper market.

Our Business The Country Saddler is owned and operated by Janet and Wayne Rasmussen who started their business career together in 1980 with one of the first large mobile units on the Florida Winter Circuit. The years of experience with knowledgeable riders and trainers prepared them for their change to concentrate on providing custom service with innovative and hand crafted products. They recognized a need to provide a hands on approach to their products, which has led to a growing demand for their services. Many of the ideas to emerge from their shops have resulted in patents and created changes in the industry and your own tack
