Saddle Materials
Saddle Trees
Number one rule of a good saddle ... If the tree is right, the saddle will be right.
All Kent Saddles are individually made and built on carbon composite trees and reinforced with carbon fibre. These materials are used extensively in the engineering, marine and aviation industries. Our trees are guaranteed top quality, made by Bob Wattus Saddle Trees of Northern NSW. Bob and his team make all of our saddle trees including those with cable rigging.
Information about cable rigging can be found on the Saddle Options page.
Leather
Kent Saddles are made using only the very best leather:
At Kent Saddlery we began using Greenhalgh leather from the very outset of our saddlery business in 1988 and have found it’s the absolute best type of leather for our saddles and gear, taking saddle dressing well and standing up to tough work conditions with enough pliability to give a comfortable ride. Their traditional bark tanning process produces leather which is strong, durable and responsive to moulding and shaping.
