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.
Wayne has a unique understanding of his craft and his feel
is demonstrated in details that are the benchmark of his
finished work. From extensive saddle work to the making of
our own line of tack, he is always committed to signing his
work with excellence.
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
