Bob Trezona, the founder of the Bitterroot Saddle Company, was fortunate enough to learn the traditions of the Natural Horsemanship movement from its founding fathers. He has great admiration and respect for the Dorrance and Wade ranching families, and was honored to ride in their shadows. As a skilled craftsman who understands the “why of saddle making”, Bob uses this knowledge to choose the best possible materials. Every Bitterroot saddle he builds offer riders a closer and safer riding experience.
The products you will find in our online store have been personally hand made or hand selected by Bob. His lifetime knowledge of the horse and rider has allowed him to seek out only the best products and offer them at the absolute best prices.
You can build a slick fork saddle without knowing its origins, but something is gained when you know the 'why' from experience

Bits and Spurs that work as good as they look. Your horse will love you for it.
“My new saddle is awesome! The contact I have with the horse is so amazing that it really has improved the feel I have with my mare through the trot, long trot and lope gates as well as just walking along and asking for a slow or fast walk. I put the reins over the horn the other day and roped “things” as we rode along and all control of the horse was with legs and body position, left, right, forward and reverse! What a deal for this 72 year young guy.”
