Kent Cannon Saddlery

Simply the Best Handmade Saddles in Southern Arizona

Kent Cannon Saddlery brings old-world craftsmanship, dependable materials, and practical western experience together in every saddle, tack item, and leather accessory we make. Located in Douglas, Arizona, we proudly serve riders, ranchers, collectors, and western enthusiasts throughout Southern Arizona and beyond.

Handmade Quality Built for Real Riding

A great saddle should do more than look good. It should fit well, ride comfortably, hold up under hard everyday use, and reflect the working traditions of the American West. At Kent Cannon Saddlery, each handmade saddle is crafted with attention to balance, durability, leather quality, and rider comfort.

Whether you ride on the ranch, in the arena, on the trail, or for the pleasure of owning a custom piece of western craftsmanship, our goal is simple: build saddles and leather goods that are useful, beautiful, and made to last.

Custom Saddles Made for Horse and Rider

Every rider has different needs, and every horse is built differently. That is why a custom saddle begins with listening. We work with customers to understand their riding style, preferred seat size, fit requirements, leather choices, tooling preferences, and the type of work the saddle needs to perform.

  • Custom western saddles designed for fit, function, and style
  • Saddle fitting service utilizing the Dennis Lane Equine Back Profiling System to help evaluate horse back shape, improve rider balance, and support a more comfortable saddle fit
  • Ranch, barrel, roping, trail, and working saddles built for everyday use
  • Hand tooling, carving, and personalized leather details
  • Quality leather accessories with western character
  • Ready-to-ride saddles as inventory is available

Saddle Fitting Service

A properly fitted saddle helps protect the horse, supports the rider, and can make every ride more comfortable and effective. Kent Cannon Saddlery offers saddle fitting service utilizing the Dennis Lane Equine Back Profiling System, a practical card-based method used to record and communicate the shape of a horse’s back for saddle and tree fit evaluation.

Using this system, we can document key back profile information, compare fit needs more consistently, and discuss saddle options with clearer measurements instead of guesswork. Whether you are ordering a custom saddle, evaluating a saddle you already own, or looking for a better fit before your next purchase, we can help you understand what works, what does not, and what options may be available.

Our Saddle-Making Process

  1. Consultation and Dennis Lane Fitting Assessment: We begin by discussing your riding needs, horse fit, preferred saddle style, balance concerns, and back profile information gathered through the Dennis Lane system.
  2. Design: We review seat size, rigging, leather, tooling, finish, and practical features.
  3. Build: Your saddle is carefully constructed with attention to strength, comfort, and traditional western detail.
  4. Final Review: Before delivery, we check the saddle for finish quality, function, and readiness for use.

About Our Warranty

Kent Cannon Saddlery stands behind the quality of our handmade saddles and leather goods. Our saddle warranty is intended to support customers when there is a concern related to craftsmanship, materials, or workmanship under normal and appropriate use.

Because saddles and leather goods are working items, normal wear, misuse, neglect, improper care, damage from animals, accidents, unauthorized alterations, or exposure to extreme conditions may not be covered. Each situation is reviewed individually so we can recommend the best next step.

If you have a warranty question or believe your saddle or leather item needs attention, please contact us with details about the item, how it has been used, and the concern you are seeing.
