Most tack stores in Arizona don’t carry gaited horse tack on a regular basis, for both showing and trail riding.  We recommend the following to help you find the right tack and saddle fit for you and your horse.

Crazy Horse Saddle Shop  Also known as “Paula’s,” Crazy Horse is a great saddle shop located in Apache Junction, Arizona.  A wide variety of tack, grooming products, and general supplies at great prices!  Located on Apache Trail just east of Ironwood, or call 480-671-0381.

 

CREST RIDGE HAS A NEW WEBSITE AND NEW SADDLES!  Be sure to visit to see what’s new!  We highly recommend Crest Ridge Saddlery for high quality gaited horse show, trail and endurance saddles at reasonable prices.  Each saddle is handmade to fit the skeletal structure of the gaited horse or mule.  They also offer a variety of custom-made trees and are able to adjust the saddle to correctly fit your horse.  These folks won’t take an order without you measuring your horse first, so you know you are getting the best possible saddle for you and your horse!  Their customer service is phenomenal—Andrea was walked through the process how to fit the saddles correctly to our horses.  The results have been astounding!  We are very happy with their quality of saddles and their excellent prices.

 

Desert Moon Tack  Although based in Arizona, these folks can help just about anyone in any location.  They provide saddle and blanket cleaning, but they can also fit Australian saddles to any breed of horse, including gaited.  We find that Aussie saddles fit TWHs really well, so we highly recommend their services!

 

Freedom Rider  This wonderful online tack store has excellent service and very competitive prices!  I found them when looking for my Tipperary Sportage Plus helmet for a good price.  The helmet was backordered, but the owner kept me UTD on the progress of the order.  When it shipped it came within days.  Highly recommended!

 

It’s Showtime!!  It’s Showtime provides quality, pre-made saddle seat suits and will even custom make a saddle seat suit to fit you at extremely competitive prices.  We have used their services and are thrilled with the quality and craftsmanship.  Take time to browse their collection and enjoy their beautiful work!

 

Mile High Ranch Saddle Outfitters  Mile High Ranch is owned and operated by a couple that we trust for information about saddle fittings and horse training and care.  They offer flex-fit saddles that will fit all breeds of gaited horses.  They work with their own saddle manufacturer, so they can help you find whatever you need for your horse.

 

National Bridle Shop  All things for gaited horses, particularly TWHs.  Carries a fine line of tack, clothing and gear for showing and trail.  Official dealer of Tennessean Saddles by Crates Saddlery.  Call 1-800-251-3474 for a free catalogue.

 

Nurtural Bridle  After watching a friend’s Percheron stallion be ridden in a bitless bridle, we decided to try it.  We’re so glad we did!  We recommend this bridle over others on the market due to the patented Circle X™, which improves the intended function of the bridle.  We’ll be showing and trail riding bitless from now on!

 

Tack Solutions by Leslie  This store is located right here in Arizona and has both a physical store and one online!  The physical store is all used products, but you can’t get a much bigger used products store than this one!  Hundreds of saddles, English, Western, Saddle Seat, Endurance, clothing for all disciplines, everything you can think of!  Be sure to check it out for saving on all your tack needs!

 

Schneider’s Tack  We discovered this tack store recently, and they carry a large variety of tack for all disciplines, including equipment for saddle seat riding and gaited horses.  We have ordered from them and gotten wonderful customer service.  They are very helpful and friendly—highly recommended!

 

World Champion Horse Equipment  Another website for items specific to gaited horses, including Saddlebreds.  Call 1-800-251-3490 for a free catalogue.

 

Don’t forget about eBay!  I am constantly finding quality new and used equipment on eBay for competitive prices.  It’s great place to browse and find what you’re looking for!
