1859 McClellan Saddle
McClellan Saddles from Carrico Leather are designed as traditional leather riding saddles with careful attention to construction and material quality. These saddles are crafted for riders seeking a classic leather saddle for equestrian use, and they are offered with options in design and finish. Each saddle is built with a focus on functional performance and leather durability that aligns with the needs of customers interested in McClellan‑style riding equipment.
Built on new wood tree, covered with rawhide. This is an 1859 model tree built on modified Quarter Horse bars that will fit today’s horses. Saddle comes complete with correct iron hardware, hooded stirrups, fenders, skirts, complete rigging assembly and a set of six coat straps. I have learned that harness leather holds up the best, to the abuse these saddles take by the average reenactor. I have tried skirting leather leather and it doesn’t hold up. Girth sold separately.
11″, 11 1/2″, and 12″ seat sizes available.
3″ or 4″ stirrups available.
Also available in russet leather.
