Dale Chavez's gleaming parade saddle shines with silver
The Dale Chavez Saddle Company has been in the business of custom silversmithing and saddle-making for 34 years, and they reached the pinnacle of their work with the parade saddle (shown) - the most complex saddle they have ever created.
Hand-tooled black leather from the Hermann Oak Leather Company creates a stunning backdrop for the intricate silverwork. The saddle and its parts - bridle, breast collar, and serape - can be purchased separately, and if you have something specific in mind, they would be glad to custom-make a showstopping saddle, award buckle, or halter for you.
