Borné Saddlery

Borné Saddlery Borné Saddlery, LLC is in the business of manufacturing Custom English Saddles. We have been in business for over 25 years! Not so with Borné.

Borné Saddlery, LLC specializes in fitting *Bespoke English Saddles to accommodate both horse and rider, achieving peak performance for today's equestrian athlete. For over a decade Karen Borne, President of Borné Saddlery, LLC, along with Andy Sankey, Certified Master Saddler and established member of The Society of Master Saddler, UK, have teamed up to provide outstanding service and quality sad

dles to the United States market. As the equine sport becomes more refined, and breeding evolves producing an increasing variety of conformational shapes, Borné remains on the cutting edge of tree and panel design to meet today's need for a wider range of saddle choices. For this reason, Borné is unique in that the emphasis is on the tree as the foundation from which everything flows. Materials used in Borné saddles are of the highest quality. Birchwood spring trees are the foundation in every saddle from Dressage to Jumping. Panels are flocked with resilient wool sheared from Scottish Highland Sheep, and leathers are sourced from various tanneries in Europe. The real cornerstone of what makes Borné Saddlery successful, however, is stellar customer service. So often, saddles are sold to clients and the saddle company seems unresponsive to the customer's needs after the sale. Read through some of the client testimonials and you will see that Borné has an A+ rating on customer service. Why Choose Borné Saddlery? Borné is one of the few “bespoke” saddle companies in the USA

Bespoke saddles are those individually made to both client and horse. In today's market, bespoke has become synonymous with "semi-custom" in practice. These Semi-custom saddles offer substitutions such as leather choice, knee rolls size, and long or short flaps for example. Bespoke, on the other hand, is more tailored, the most important being tree selection. The tree dictates how well your horse will be able to move ultimately. Additional bespoke options are seats rasped into customized shape for the rider, custom knee roll shape, size, and placement, custom stitching designs in flaps, personal logos embossed in the leather - this is Borné Saddlery.

As many of you know, I have been in the bespoke custom saddle business for over 25 years now. Once in awhile, I am presented with a fitting that tests my resolve and wondering if a fitting is truly possible.

I was contacted by Owner/Trainer, Lynn Doki regarding her horse Poptart earlier this year and, needless to say, this was going to be one of my most challenging situations. Lynn had been on a very long journey of finding a saddle that ended up in disappointment after disappointment on top of dollars wasted.

Lynn and I embarked on a journey to make a saddle for Poptart that would also fill the needs for her in a comfortable way. There was no local fitter involved, no in-person analysis, only me and Lynn by phone and texting, working together in collaboration - collecting photos, tracings, and history of the horse (on one of the most difficult situations I’ve encountered in some time).
In this situation the stars aligned and the end result was, frankly, amazing.

This is what happens when a team unites around a common goal. The Owner, the most amazing Master Saddler, Andy Sankey, and myself. All focused on what’s best for the horse and rider.

Thank you Lynn for trusting the process and I wish you and Poptart many years of happiness under saddle. 😊
