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.
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.
