Saddle Making Classes at JS Saddlery

Have you ever wanted to make your own custom saddle?  Well, here you are!  JS Saddlery offers a "one on one" custom saddle making class that can be tailored around your work schedule or days off. 

The average class is approximately 40 hours long, depending on your own ability.  When the saddle class is finished,  you will leave with a saddle that you personally made.  We'll also provide you with a few extra tools for doing basic repairs as well as any extra leather that was not used during class.
